10 New Year Writing Prompts For Your Journal
New year, a new beginning – a fresh start that reminds us of new chances, new opportunities, and new hope. Moreover, as the new year approaches, it gives us the ideal opportunity to slow down, reflect, contemplate, and take a moment to think about how we handled our lives from the past year. And, of course, how we would like to manage it in the next chapter of our lives.
Furthermore, when it comes to reflecting, writing in a journal is one of the most efficient and beneficial ways. According to Healthline, journaling helps to reduce stress, boost health and well-being, encourages space from negative thoughts, provides a way to process emotions, helps figure out the next step, and deepens self-discovery.
And, as the New Year draws near, we are happy to share writing prompts for your journal:
