20 Self-Discovery Journaling Prompts

If you’re looking for self-discovery journaling prompts, this blog post is for you.

Self-discovery seems so simple in theory, but with the busyness of life, self-discovery seems impossible. When we do get a glimpse of self-discovery, it’s in between running errands, right before we go to bed at night, or the random thought we have in the shower. And with so many areas of our lives pulling for our attention, self-discovery just becomes an afterthought.

But if you’re anything like me, that random thought keeps on coming back up. So if you’re looking for journaling prompts for self-discovery, look no further.
