Journaling is a path towards self-discovery, self-care, and stress relief. It can be tough to get started, though.

The prompts provide that tiny spark of inspiration to get you started. It’s far easier to start writing when you have a question to answer than it is to come up with everything on your own.

All you need to start journaling is pen and paper. However, it helps to have more than that. Get a personal journal that speaks to you – that makes you want to start writing in it.
