I just turned a year older yesterday, and it got me thinking that this is a brand new year, and I wanted to reflect on how much my life has evolved over the past year, as well as set new intentions for this year, and what better way to do that than… Drumroll…
Curated journaling prompts for your birthday month.
So here it is 90 of the best journaling prompts for your birthday month.
Why 90? Well, because you will cover everything, memories, achievements, goals, and each day you get three writing prompts, which is quite fair and nice.
Buckle up because you will move into this new birthday year with crystal clear conviction.
How to use these journaling prompts for your birthday.
I wrote 90 lovely deep and somewhat open-ended birthday journal prompts to ask yourself every year so how can you make the most of these prompts:
1. Go on a birthday month journaling spree.
This is a special month for you and to maximize on the ability to reflect, dream and plan for this year ahead you will need sufficient time to journal your thoughts.
This is why I recommend starting to use these prompts on the first day of your birthday month till the last.
2. Be truthful to yourself.
No one will come to check your journal and punish you or shame you for being authentic, you’re a grown ass woman so don’t lie to yourself.
These birthday reflection questions will evoke emotions and truths that you may not be ready to face, but that’s the whole point: “to know yourself better.”
3. Create a birthday month journaling ritual.
Get a dedicated journal of any kind, some cute stationery, a nice hot beverage, and pick a time of the day when you get to sit in a cozy corner and journal using these prompts.
4. Have fun.
These journaling prompts for your birthday are more than just questions you have to answer.
They are a love letter to yourself, a way to honor your growth, record your experiences, and create the version of the woman you wish to become.
So have fun, I particularly enjoy the answers that I come up with, “like woah, I didn’t know you felt like that girl.”
The things that go unnoticed in our minds are plenty, it’s like uncovering depths to you.
Without further ado…
