Journal Prompts for 31 Days

Hey All!

Personally, I am starting to like these journaling swaps so, I am creating one of my own! For this swap, there are 31 prompts that I got from the resources listed below! I made sure not many were too negative and none were so personal that it would not be appropriate to ask you to share with others.

Journal Prompts:

1. Write about the best decision you ever made. How did you make it? Was it reasoning or gut instinct?

2. What ONE thing would you change about your life? How would your life be different?

3. What is the hardest thing you have ever done? Why was it hard for you? What did you learn?

4. What is your greatest hope for your future? What steps can you take to make it happen?

5. Add 7 things to your bucket list and why they are on your bucket list.

6. If you can time travel, what will you tell your teenage self?

7. What is the greatest life lesson you’ve learned?

8. Write about the most glorious moment in your life so far.

9. Write about a moment you feel brave.

10. What is your biggest fear?

11. How will you describe your soulmate (or describe them if you already found them)?

12. Describe the worst breakup you had. How did you heal from it?

13. Have you “lost your mind” for anyone? What do you feel about him/her now?

14. What did you struggle most with today?

15. What made you happy today?

16. What do you dislike most about growing up?

17. How would you like to be remembered?

18. Do you find it easy to forgive and forget?

19. Write about your three favorite fictional characters and why they are your favorite.

20. Write about ten activities you love the most and why you love them.

21. Name the three biggest priorities in your life right now and why they are your priorities.

22. Do you have an embarrassing moment that still makes you cringe? Write about it in as much detail as you feel comfortable!

23. What has been your best trip so far?

24. Write about your top five personal strengths.

25. Set a timer for 5 minutes and write a stream of consciousness. Meaning just write whatever pops into your head for 5 minutes, no matter how silly it may be!

26. Write about your first kiss. Was it everything you wished and hoped it would be?

27. What 5 traits (physical or personal) do people notice when they meet you for the first time?

28. Write a list of 5 things (physical or personality-wise) you love about yourself, and why they make you unique.

29. Discuss 5 things you wish others knew about you.

30. Do you think the past is the best predictor of your future? Why or why not?

31. Is social media a blessing or a curse?

You can either do a prompt a day or do it all in one day or set your pace as needed! You will have 1.5 months to complete and send the swap! And yes, you have to do the prompts IN ORDER!

Depending on what you write, I suggest putting in a TRIGGER WARNING before completing a prompt that may discuss hard topics. Also, this is a NO JUDGEMENT ZONE! If your partner writes about something that may be seen as "sad" (especially when it comes to a prompt that may have to do with hard times), or they have an opinion you do not agree with, that is fine, but no need to attack them for it! If you do, you will not be joining anymore of my swaps!

This swap is USA ONLY! But if anyone wants to hold an international version, go right ahead! And yes, this swap MUST be hand-written! Again, if someone wants to host a typed version (snail mail or electronic mail), be my guest!

You MUST have at least a 4.98 rating with no 3 or 1 ratings within the past 6 months. If you think your 3 and 1 ratings were unfairly earned, such as missing a swap due to a medical emergency, please contact me and we can discuss what to do if you wish to join! I check profiles when you sign up and right before I assign partners! If you earn a low rating between those times, you run the risk of getting removed from this swap! Also, if I am made aware you may start drama, you will be removed! This swap (and swapping in general) is supposed to be fun and I will not let someone ruin that for me or anyone else :)

Also, no newbies allowed this time (sorry)! I will define a newbie as having LESS than 20 swaps done and rated! Electronic swaps DO NOT count in this calculation!

Email me with any questions and happy swapping :)
