Journal Prompts for Daily Experiences
May Journal Prompts Week 2
We are on week 2 of daily journaling prompts. These have been fun to come up with. I had originally wanted to stick with shadow work prompts, but sometimes, we need to journal with levity and joy. I had also originally wanted to do themes, but nah. I have been coming up with prompts as I have needed them.
This week, the kittens have begun roaming outside of their box, and they love field trips away from mom for a few minutes. They are rough housing more and talking more. I am so in love with them, and I can’t wait to bring my two home. I have one picked out for sure. We are going to see how the others’ personalities develop.
What are you ready to release? What are you ready to say goodbye to? Releasing is hard. It’s part of the Eight of Cups, 6 of Swords, Death and Tower cards. When we are ready though, we know. It might be that you are not quite ready, but what is something you want to release or say goodbye to even if you aren’t quite there yet?
What are you looking to call in or welcome in upon the release of the old and stagnant?
What were some of your favorite activities to do as a child? When was the last time you partook in one of those activities? What interests no longer hold for you? Which still have a tight grasp on your heart? Which would you like to explore more?
My interest is still kittens and cats and being snuggled up with them. Thank you.
What are you excited for in the next 5 weeks? What is making you anxious? What feels best for your body as you work through this anxiety?
What immediately puts you into a shame spiral? How does it manifest in your thoughts? Your body? Your behaviors towards others? Towards yourself?
What does disappointment feel like in your body? What does it look like in your actions? What’s your immediate physical reaction to disappointment? What if it’s a small disappointment? Moderate? Major?
How was gratitude expressed in your family/household growing up? What is your relationship with gratitude now? Do you practice gratitude often? If you do, have you noticed a difference in your resilience in the face of inconveniences, hardships, and heartache?
This is month two of me sending out weekly round-ups of prompts or affirmations. How are we feeling about it? Are any of these prompts sticking out to you?
Wishing you well this week! May your life offer what you need in this moment.
With love,
Aventurine ✨
Those kittens are just gorgeous 🥰
I’m really focusing on the shame spiral and disappointment prompts at the moment. Growing up I felt safe and loved, but my relationship with my family has changed over time and I don’t feel that now. Sibling relationships have made a huge impact on my life within the family which has had a huge impact on me and my self confidence. So I want to really focus on how I can accept and move on
