Journaling for Wellness: Prompts to Support Your Mind, Body and Soul
In our fast-paced, always-on world, it's easy to get caught up in doing and forget to feel. That’s where journaling comes in—not as another item on your to-do list, but as a sacred space to return to yourself. Whether you’re trying to manage stress, process emotions, practise gratitude, or simply reconnect with your thoughts, journaling is one of the simplest, most powerful wellness tools available.
And the best part? You don’t have to be a writer to benefit from it.
Below, we’re sharing a rich collection of journal prompts designed to support your mind, body, and soul - gently guiding you to check in, reflect, and grow.

How to Start (and Keep) a Wellness Journaling Practice
-
Keep it simple: You don’t need to write pages. Even one sentence can be powerful.
-
Use prompts: Don’t know what to write? Let a prompt guide you.
-
Create a ritual: Light a candle, make a tea, and take five quiet minutes just for you.
-
Be honest: This space is only for you. Say what you really feel.
-
Use a dedicated journal: Whether it’s our Self-care Journal, Body + Soul Journal, or a blank notebook, find a space that feels special.
