Benefits of using journal prompts for the new year

 

Journal prompts are a great tool for self-discovery, introspection, processing emotions, and setting goals making them ideal to use when preparing for a new calendar year.

Journal prompts for the new year help you review the previous year in depth and reflect on lessons, experiences, and personal growth overall. Combining yearly reflection prompts with journal prompts for the upcoming year is a powerful way to plan your New Year’s resolutions and goals.

They allow you to reflect on habits you want to let go of and habits you want to build in the new year which creates a window of opportunity to help you start building a system that supports these goals, no matter how big or small.

 

This style of journal prompts is highly beneficial when it comes to the relationship that you have with yourself. The journal prompts below include a lot of looking into your self-care habits, things that you enjoyed the previous year, things that you want to experience in the upcoming year, personal development and much more.
