For all of us all mornings are not the same. We may wake up in a good mood and we may not. A lot of it depends on how we slept, how the last day was, our health, and what we did.
One great way to intentionally have a positive or uplifting start to your day is to do journaling with morning journal prompts.
I’ve had quite a few mornings where I don’t feel up to speed so much. And whenever I’ve done a journaling exercise, it has helped me feel better.
It depends on what I need. If I am overloaded with emotions, I vent it all out. If I have too many things on my mind, I make a list and express the importance of each. If I am losing sight, I write what I can be grateful for.
So, in this post, you will find morning journal prompts for a variety of purposes, all meant to make you feel better and carry that feeling through the day. Here you go:
