What Are Pleasant Journal Prompts?
1 Describe a song and the emotion it sparked in you. 2 Describe a memorable event from your early years from the viewpoint of a different person who was there. 3 Describe an inexpensive but important possession you have. The great thing about keeping a journal is that you can record what happened during a specific time in your life, in a way that resonates for you. 4 What color do you feel like today and why. By using collages of memes or putting a daily memento into a time capsule journal, you can journal without writing and use it to work through difficult emotions. Writing in a journal can help you come up with ideas and explore your own creativity. It enhances judgment and can make patterns of thought more clear. According to Stacey Walker’s analysis in the Journal of Athletic Training, keeping a journal “improves reflection, facilitates critical thought, expresses feelings, and concentrates arguments. Writing in a journal compels me to express my inner feelings. It could be the first time I’ve expressed something sad or intense in words, and that raises feelings. It often brings relief. Sometimes it’s a recognition of just how angry I am. Write, type, draw, or even speak about your feelings and thoughts. Be frank and sincere. If you haven’t previously discussed it in writing, think about writing about a distressing emotional experience.
