Self-discovering is a big ole part when it comes to personal development. Fully understand your strengths, weaknesses, dreams, goals, things that work for you and things that don’t is the very first step of you living your dream life. The way I see it, we can’t use our power flawlessly unless we know what it really is.
A big part of how I connect with my inner self is creating space for my mind to think and process my own thoughts and feelings. By doing this, I’m able to realign and improve the relationship I have with myself.
There are plenty of ways to getting to know yourself. You can start with meditation or taking personality tests. It depends on what works for you.
But today, I’m gonna share with you my list of journal prompts for self discovery that is totally easy to follow and will help you better understand what your mind and soul are telling you.
Grab your pen and write the answer to the following self discovery journal prompts. You won’t get results by silently thinking these answers in your head. Remember that!
Wait… what if I’m not sure what to write?
Don’t worry. Once you put your pen on the paper and start writing the very first idea that pops up in your brain, the second idea will eventually show up.
I discovered this while reading Everything Is Figureoutable by Marie Forleo. The books contains many questions for journaling which challenged me to take action by writing down the answers.
To be honest with you, I didn’t know what to write at first and was about to skip it.
But the minute I decided to seriously take some action and implement these exercise, the ideas in my head kept pouring out that I couldn’t stop writing.
Impressive, huh?
I guess we wouldn’t really understand our ability and power if we don’t try.

I love your prompts, they are thought-provoking, some of the ones you see are just generic and don’t really take any time to figure out. Your blog is great by the way!
