The Best Way To Start Your Self-Discovery Journey

The best way to start your journey of self-discovery is by setting aside time for introspection.

You may have an established journaling habit already, but starting a separate self-discovery journal is ideal for this.

Why?

Your answers will change over time, and it’s essential to have a centralized location for all the hard work you’ll do here!

What Goes In A Self-Discovery Journal?

Your self-discovery journal will have thoughts, ideas, and answers to questions that get at the core of your beliefs, values, interests, quirks, and even your faults, too!

The goal is to dig deep and get you to come face-to-face with your truth.

To help you get started on your journey to self-discovery, I’m sharing my epic list of 50 journaling prompts!

How To Use Self-Discovery Journal Prompts

Before I give you the prompts, let’s go over how you should use them.

The truth is there’s no right or wrong way to do it. You can go in any order and do this over any amount of time that feels right for you.

There are so many things you can do in the realm of personal and spiritual growth and development.

Trust me; I know how easy it is to feel overwhelmed by all your options.

While tackling one of these prompts every day may sound like a good idea, in theory, it’s not that easy.

If you’re already working through a daily gratitude journal, daily affirmations, meditation, yoga or stretching, setting goals for the day, etc… you probably don’t have time to add a separate self-discovery journal into the mix, too!

So you may want to commit to working on it a few days a week.

Or once on Sundays as part of your plan to prepare for the week ahead.

Whatever floats your boat!

Just make sure you establish a habit that you can stick to. That’s the only way to make progress.
