Why is Journaling So Powerful

Journaling is no longer just something for young girls and teens. There are many benefits of journaling for adults. It can help you meet your goals and improve your quality of life. It can help you make better decisions as you reflect on the words you think and write.

Journaling can help you clear your head, understand your thoughts and feelings at a deeper level, and make important connections between your thoughts and actions. Overall, it can help improve your mental health and wellness.

I love what Natalie Goldberg says about journaling, “Whether you’re keeping a journal or writing as a meditation, it’s the same thing. What’s important is you’re having a relationship with your mind.“

What Are Journal Prompts?

Journal prompts, alternatively called writing prompts, are journaling ideas that help you focus on what to write. Using personal growth journal prompts gives you a clear direction before you start writing.

Journal prompts offer specific themes and topics for you to reflect on and write about. They can be helpful if you:

• want to make writing a habit but never know what to write about;
• have a lot of conflicting thoughts in your mind that you want to sort through;
• feel as if you could write all day but need help narrowing your focus;
• have a specific area of your life you want to explore or improve.

Prompts can be in the form of journal questions, journal writing ideas, and sentence starters. When I was teaching, I used to call them “Think Abouts” because I wanted my students to write 2-4 sentences about the Think About topic each day. These are examples of each kind of journaling ideas formats:

• Journal Questions Example: What does grateful mean to you?
• Journal Writing Idea: Name three things that made you happy today.
• Sentence Starter: My favorite moment of today was __________.

Types of Journaling Styles

Journaling styles vary from person to person. You can purchase a plain spiral notebook to use for your journal, or you can purchase a very detailed, comprehensive journal that includes multiple reflection and writing components.

For example, the Silk and Sonder subscription-based self-care and mental health toolkit includes a beautiful all-in-one planner and journal. You’ll find Planning Pages, Guided Writing Journaling Pages, a Coloring Page, a Recipe Page, Reflections and Intentions, a Sleep Tracker, Notes Pages, a Mood Tracker page, a Habit Tracker page, a Monthly Expense Tracker, a Focus Word, and more. Silk and Sonder Journals are an all-in-one monthly planner that supports your overall self-care and wellness.

These are some popular kinds of journaling styles:

• List Journal: A list journal is fairly simple and does not require a lot of time. It’s just as it sounds — you create lists rather than write in a narrative format. For example, you might make a list of what books you want to read, or the places you want to visit. Or you might make a list of your favorite family traditions. List journals are a great way to compile and reflect on details about your life, interests, goals, and your dreams. 

• Bullet Journal: This type of personal journal allows you to record achievements, goals, thoughts, inspirations, and reflections in an organized and creative way. Users can make entries of daily, weekly, and monthly progress toward their goals. Some people like this type of journal because it’s efficient and effective when trying to change a habit, reach a goal, get organized, or make a major life change.

• Creative Writing Journal: Creative writing is especially great for people who are creative and imaginative. It encourages capturing ideas and self-reflection, both key skills for creatives. It’s also a useful skill for entrepreneurs and busy executives, as it fosters clear thinking. Creative writing provides opportunities to express yourself in a variety of ways — through colors, visual representations, symbols, words, etc.

• Monthly Journal: Monthly journals can be based on themes surrounding special days and celebrations during every month. For example, in April you may have prompts to write about things associated with Earth Day, April Fool’s Day, Easter, and Spring. This kind of journal is good for relaxation, activating your imagination, and reflecting on your life experiences.

• Reflection Journal: This is one of the most common, traditional kinds of journaling. It’s often used with journal prompts that focus on one or two mental health themes or topics. It’s great for anyone who is diligently working to improve a specific area of life. The intention is to connect deeply with your feelings so you can reflect and analyze as part of your personal growth.

• Junk Journal: This is such a cool idea! A Junk Journal is a handmade book or journal of recycled and random materials. The pages can be used to write, draw, paint or record your memories, thoughts, ideas, and inspiration. It can be a work of art for creatives, and saved for inspiration in the future.

• The Blank Notebook Journal: This is your blank canvas that can fulfill every journaling need you might have. This one gives you a lot of creative freedom. It’s great for creatives and people who are intensely working on a particular area for improvement.

• Pocket Journal: This is just like it sounds. It’s a small journal you can carry around with you so you can write whatever pops into your mind throughout the day. It’s great for people who are forgetful or creative — and those who multitask.

• Diary Journal: A diary journal is what you remember from when you were a young girl. It’s used to document life events and write freely about your thoughts and feelings. This is a great tool for people who enjoy writing and reflecting on their lives. While it has value, it’s not necessarily intended to be used for personal growth as much as reflection and enjoyment. In a diary, you should write about whatever pops into your head.

People also use fitness journals, finance journals, poetry journals, dream journals, travel journals, reading journals, food journals, and so many more! Whatever your preference — explore and choose your favorite! Maybe even try several different kinds over time.

What Do You Put in a Bullet Journal?

Since Bullet Journals are one of the most popular kinds of journals today, I want to explore these a bit more. What exactly do you put in a bullet journal?

These are very personalized and you can include whatever helps you keep yourself organized, productive, and reflective. The Silk and Sonder Planner and Journal is actually based on the bullet journal concept. With all bullet journals, you can adapt and modify them to meet your specific needs. You can start with a hard-copy bullet journal that’s been designed by others, or you can create your own with any notebook.

• One way to start a bullet journal is Goal Setting. What are some of your short- and long-term goals? Maybe you want to improve your sleep habits, so you can setup a way to track your sleep habits and plan for improvement. You can dream as big or as little as you want… then break down your plan into actionable steps to help get you there. Your bullet journal is a way to help you achieve your goals.

• You can also include your Appointments on your bullet journal, including events with your children and family. This will help you stay organized, but it’s also a way to help you plan your social times — a day in the park, a spa day, a special luncheon with friends. Once you actually schedule these activities, you are more likely to include them — and they are very important for all of us!

• Some people like to include their Household Schedule, which includes things like laundry, cleaning, decluttering, and meal planning. Including things like this helps you save time and money!

• Another benefit of a bullet journal is keeping track of important aspects of your health and wellbeing. Known as Habit Trackers, you can monitor things such as mood, emotions, water intake, exercise, food, steps, financials, spending, and even how much television you watch.

• You can even include a Brain Dump area in your bullet journal! What is a Brain Dump, you ask? It’s just like what it sounds like — you write about anything you need or want to write about or get off your mind.

• And of course, two of my favorite aspects of a bullet journal are Reflection — using my favorite prompts — and Creativity — where I draw, color, or doodle. You can even get stickers that make you happy, and a collection of awesome colored pencils or pens. You can use any prompts for bullet journal prompts.

The bullet journal is best for people who are very organized, or want to be very organized. Since it encompasses almost every aspect of your life, you need more dedicated time for it to be effective and efficient. But if you want to become more organized, and are willing to commit to the process, it’s a wonderful way to change your habits and improve your life!

Difference Between a Diary and a Personal Journal

Over the years, the terms diary and journal have often been used interchangeably. But nowadays, as journals are becoming more relevant and popular, it’s important to understand the difference.

Diaries are meant to be used as a record of events — documentation of your life. Personal journals are typically used with the intention of reflection — making a connection between your thoughts and your actions to improve your life.

However, both diaries and journals can be excellent tools for building self-awareness. They can also give you quiet time for relaxation and higher levels of consciousness. And they can both be very personalized experiences based on your individual needs and interests.

Now that you know: 1) why journaling is so beneficial to your personal development… 2) what journal prompts are and why we used them… 3) and types of journaling styles you can choose… are you ready to move forward with journaling to help you grow into the person you are meant to become?

Now let’s learn about 43 of the most popular journal prompts topics we can use for personal growth! Read on!
