Journaling Ideas: 20 Great Questions For Self Discovery

The habit of Journaling is becoming more and more popular. Many people start this wonderful habit with the best of intentions only to stop after just a few attempts.

It can sometimes feel a little daunting to open up a journal in the morning, just to see a blank page staring back at you. I discovered that once I had a number of great questions that I could ask myself before writing, the habit of journaling became something I now look forward to every day and I find it quite therapeutic and fun.

I have put together a list of 20 great questions to ask yourself, to help you start the habit of  journaling and begin to take positive action to improve different areas of your life.

You don’t need a special journal for the following exercise, a few sheets of paper will do for now. Once you have taken the time to answer all of the questions below, you can then perhaps invest in a nice daily journal such as The Five Minute Journal or you can find a journal on Amazon.

The questions below have no right or wrong answer, the most important thing is that you are honest with yourself. The more honest that you are with your answers, the more that you will discover about who you are and where you you want to go in your life.
