I've always loved writing but struggled with consistency. For me, writing is a way to understand myself better and process everything that is happening in life.
I've started journaling so many times but never could make it into a habit. The idea to create a set of journaling prompts came to me in April. I know that there are plenty of apps like the 5-Minute Journal that are quite similar but I wanted to create something just for myself to create a lasting habit. But got busy with other things and postponed it until a better day.
But a better day turned out to actually be a worse day. I've recently experienced burnout but was lucky to notice it early. Thinking about the ways to get through it made me revisit the idea of journaling again.
So I did my research, found 30 prompts to keep myself busy writing for a month and scheduled them - nothing too complicated. After a while I thought that there can be other people who can use it too, so I gave it a bit better look and turned into a Dear Self project.
If you are struggling to sleep, having trouble concentrating and feeling disconnected, you might be experiencing burnout too. Journaling might not cure you of burnout, but it can help you understand yourself better and prevent it from happening again.
These prompts are free, but if you are feeling like supporting a fellow create you can get me a coffee ☕
