One of the most powerful ways to get to know yourself is through journaling. Journaling helps you connect to your inner wisdom, which is especially important in our noisy world, according to Sandy Grason, author of the book Journalution: Journaling to Awaken Your Inner Voice, Heal Your Life and Manifest Your Dreams. “There are so many voices out there telling you who to be, how to act, what to do.” It also comes in handy when those loud voices are coming from inside. “I have found that your Inner Wisdom whispers and your Inner Critic yells, so you have to get quiet in order to hear your inner wisdom. Journaling is one way to get quiet,” she said.
Here are some journalising prompts for self discovery :
- How do I feel at the moment?
- What do I need more of in my life?
- What would make me happy right now?
- What is going right in my life?
- What am I grateful for? List at least 10 things.
- When did I experience joy this well?
- List all my small victories and successes.
- What’s bothering me? Why?

- What does my ideas morning look like?

- What makes me come alive? When was the last time I felt truly alive?
- What/who inspires me the most? Why am I drawn to those inspirations?

That is excellent. If you feel overwhelmed, journaling will help you reach clarity. By keeping a journal, you are adding a ritual to your life. You’re giving yourself permission to spend time alone with your thoughts. For some, the best way to keep a journal is to write down whatever is passing through their mind.

I basically have it so I can say stuff that I can’t to people. My frustration with family and friends. Things I can only share with my therapist and now my journal.

I am glad you liked the post. Journaling is not only good for your heart, it’s good for your health. Studies show that people who put their most traumatic experiences on paper not only feel better but visit doctors less often and even have stronger immune responses. A study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association revealed that writing exercises can help alleviate symptoms of asthma and rheumatoid arthritis.
