January 2022 Journal Prompts

It’s a new year! Which means time for a new journaling challenge!

In 2021, I challenged myself to journal every day and learn along the way. I started out with just writing prompts but slowly added in photo, doodle, list, and collage prompts until journaling basically became a cathartic art practice! So I want to carry that free form style of journaling into 2022 with a different challenge for the year. Instead of set prompts for each day, I want to focus on 10 prompts per month that can be interpreted however you’re feeling. Write it! Draw it! List it! Make a collage! Take a photograph! The sky is the limit!

With the prompts in January I’m focusing on reflecting and setting myself up for a happy and productive year. I know the messaging at the start of each year is very “hustle-focused,” but I’d challenge you to take a step back, quiet your mind, and explore what you want out of the next year over this month.

I’ve also added a hashtag (#2022ImagineJournaling) which you can use to share what you’re creating with me on Instagram. Happy new year! And happy journaling! 🎉
