30 Night Time Journal Prompts To Reflect and Unwind

How Much Do You Believe Journaling Can Benefit You?

The queen of avoidance

Before I started journaling, I used to suppress every feeling that came up and avoid any thought that made me feel uncomfortable.

I was totally dismissing what was wrong with my life; I was an expert avoidant.

I was living my life at such a fast pace that I didn’t allow myself to stop and look inward. Regardless of very uncomfortable (sometimes painful) stomach aches. Oh and those too, I would dismiss.

I was extra busy, never making time for myself. Finding myself alone with my thoughts? Thanks, but no thanks.

Then, some emotionally wrecking events happened almost all at once.

I had a pretty ugly break up. Then I realized I didn’t feel really supported through that break up. That’s when I also realized that one of my long term friendships wasn’t lifting me up, but rather making me miserable.

As it this wasn’t enough, the break up led me to moved in with a roommate. So at 29, I found myself newly single and moving in a share apartment.

And as if this wasn’t enough, I quickly noticed that I was constantly walking on eggshells, in my own home, to avoid being blamed for my behaviours.

And then the pandemic hit.

The breakthrough

That’s when I really had time to realize my cup was totally full. No not full. Overflowing.

The pandemic gave me the opportunity to stop avoiding my thoughts and face my truths: I was allowing too many people to treat me unfairly. My boundaries were… non existent.

I was allowing too much unhappiness in my life.

This needed to stop. I needed to understand what was wrong with me (finally!).

So I started 2 things. One, reading every self development books I could find, especially on relationships. And two, I started journaling.

This led me to really start loving myself and setting boundaries. Thanks to the self-awareness journaling brought me.

I cannot begin to explain how different my life is now.

I have been journaling daily for over 2 years now. So now, I can confidently tell you that the night journal prompts I selected for this blog post are going to help you move forward with your life and potentially blow up your personal growth.
