3 - 50 Purposeful Journal Prompts
Most of the time, your stress and anxiety are a result of misalignment.
Misalignment is a result of failing to understand yourself; Your thoughts and actions aren’t aligned with your passion and purpose.
You’re spinning your wheels.
And you think that more action will help.
Yet, you continue to spin your wheels.
The truth is, understanding more about yourself will create alignment with your thoughts and actions.
When this happens, you become unstoppable.
The thing about journaling is, it’s transformative. But most people do it incorrectly.
You might think it’s unnecessary, or even daunting.
Sitting down with a blank sheet of paper and a pen can certainly be overwhelming; what the hell do you even write about?
It doesn’t have to be this way.
In fact, journaling is the quickest & most efficient strategy to
Discover your purpose.
Turn a vague vision into a logical reality.
Control your emotions.
Minimize stress and anxiety.
And guess what? Sometimes all it takes is one sentence.
The most important thing you do when you begin your day with pen and paper is this: Answer a specific question.
Yes, I’m telling you that you don’t need to sit down for 30 minutes and write about how you felt today when someone cut you off on the highway.
Rather, answer a question that brings your focus to who you are becoming and what needs to be done.
So instead of calling these “journal prompts” I like to refer to them as “purpose prompts”
Start with #1 and go down the list. Begin each day answering one question with as little as one sentence.
If you feel compelled to write more, do it.
If you don’t, don’t.
Soon you’ll find yourself discovering more about who you truly are and what actions you need to take to create alignment.
In other words, you become unstoppable.

The Truth
Purpose isn’t something you long for.
It’s not achieved one day when you have reached all of your goals.
It’s something you feel today.
And it occurs when you realize that the person you envision yourself becoming can be executed today.
It’s a process of learning, understanding, and living.
And once you do it, you’ll never be the same.
Think + Write + Discover + Be.
I’m excited for you!
