Journal prompts for mental health

It seems like over the past few years mental health problems have been on the rise. Not a whole lot of people are happy and enjoying their lives. We spend most of our lives on social media, phones, and computers. Prices for things are at an all-time high. Despite this, there are ways to change our circumstances. We can at least change the way we think and our mindset. Journaling is a good way to help with this and having journaling prompts can help with what we need to talk about. But if you don’t know what to talk about when it comes to journaling then having journal prompts can help with that tremendously.

What are journal prompts?

Journal prompts are questions that you give yourself to answer in your journal. I know there are a lot of times that when I try to journal I don’t know exactly what to talk about. But there are also a lot of times when I feel like I’m constantly repeating myself when I write in my journal.

I don’t want to constantly vent about the same thing or repeat about the things that I want to accomplish. That’s the great thing about having journal prompts! Unless you’re just wanting to use journaling to vent, then it would be a different story. Otherwise, I feel like journaling should kind of help you out and help you figure out where you should go next.

Popular Booktok books

Over the past few years, TikTok has become very popular and I might add very addicting as well. There’s a very good reason for that if I’m being honest. I know I’m one of the millions of people who downloaded TikTok when the pandemic happened and became addicted to it. With that being said over the years BookTok started becoming popular and it completely took off. Now almost every bookstore has a table with popular booktok books. So, here are some popular TikTok books that I have come across that a lot of people are reading!

Journaling and its benefits for mental health and goals

For as long as I remember I have always enjoyed journaling. For the most part, I have always used it to talk about my day or vent about what was going on in my day. Those were really good ideas at the time. That’s mostly because writing in my journal is like being able to talk to a friend and just letting all of my emotions out. At that time that’s how journaling helped me.

Skills to learn in 2025

Going off of my New Year resolution post, I also wanted to include skills to learn in 2025. Many people don’t think about this aspect when it comes to starting a new year—at least I never did. But I want to start trying to learn a new skill in 2025, especially resilience, stress tolerance, and flexibility. I’m really not good at those, which is why I probably have a lot of anxiety lately.

Learning new skills is a great thing to start incorporating into your daily habits that way in a couple of months those skills will be like second nature and maybe you could start working on incorporating another skill.
