It’s time for one of my favorite yearly traditions: My End of the Year Journal Prompts!
How it works:
Below are 31 journaling prompts to help you reflect on this year and start goal setting for the new year. I know journaling and reflecting can feel intimidating so I like to answer 1 prompts a day in December.
The first batch of questions are designed to help you look back while the second are all about looking forward.
I’ll be sharing daily reminders on Instagram all moonth with the prompts and will give you the opportunity to share some of your own answers. I hope you’ll join me throughout the month and even more importantly, I hope this is a meaningful and helpful way to look back on this year while also thinking about 2023.
