May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and while we believe talking about mental health and wellness is an important conversation to have year round, this month brings the topic to the forefront for many people.
Your journal can be an excellent tool to help you check in with yourself and listen to how you are truly feeling. Whether you want to practice daily gratitude or unpack a situation that is currently still too difficult to talk about out loud, your journal can be a safe space to explore your innermost thoughts.
To help get you started, we’ve put together 10 journalling prompts to encourage you to prioritize your own health and wellness:
- Something I am thankful for in this moment is…
- One phrase I want to stop saying to myself is…
- One happy memory I can always call on is…
- Someone I consider part of my personal support system is…
- A song that can always put a smile on my face is…
- One way I can be kinder to myself this month is…
- I always laugh when…
- The strongest emotion I am currently feeling is…
- One thing I wish I could say out loud is…
- Something I am looking forward to is…
We have long supported journalling as a tool for wellness and have been active in reducing the stigma surrounding mental health and illness, so be sure to check out our previous mental health resources here!
