As we move into the lazy days of summer, we are excited to introduce you to our 14 Day Journal Challenge. What a better time than those long summer days, to enjoy some rest, reflection and time spent with our thoughts. For the next 14 days, we’re going to explore different journaling prompts to help you get in touch with your inner self and cultivate a daily journaling habit.
In the hustle and bustle of daily life, it’s easy to lose sight of our own well-being and personal growth. Journaling is a powerful tool that can help us pause, reflect, and reconnect with our inner selves. Whether you’re new to journaling or a seasoned pro, this challenge is designed to inspire mindfulness, foster self-care, and enhance productivity. By the end of this challenge, you’ll have a better understanding of yourself, your values, and your goals. Grab your favourite journal, which can be paper or digital, find a cozy spot, and let’s embark on this journey together!
How to join this 14 day journal challenge?
STEP 1: Grab your journal
Find a notebook or journal that you love and dedicate it to this 14-day journal challenge. Not a paper fan? That’s ok! You can also use your preferred digital method to journal. Just make sure you have everything you need to feel comfortable and supported and then you’ll be ready to go! Trust us, you’ll want to have a special place to record your thoughts and reflections each day.
STEP 2: Set intentions + commit to your practice daily
Commit to writing everyday. Plan to set aside some time each day to sit down with your journal and reflect on the prompt for the day. You don’t have to write a novel; just jot down whatever comes to mind. The key is to make it a habit and commit to doing it every day for 14 days in a row, using the prompts provided.
STEP 3: Use the prompts as inspiration
Each day, take a look at the prompt for the day and let it guide your writing. Don’t worry if you don’t have a profound revelation every time; some days will be easier than others. The best way to begin, is just to start. Don’t second guess yourself, write whatever comes to mind.
STEP 4: Start journaling
Once you’re ready, start journaling using the prompts provided.
STEP 5: Reflect on your experience
After you’ve completed the journal challenge, take some time to reflect on your experience. What did you learn about yourself? Did you notice any changes in your mood or behaviour? What did you enjoy about the challenge, and what could you do differently next time?
