Ten Inspiring Journal Prompts

There are many benefits to keeping a journal, such as recording your memories, setting down your goals and resolutions, keeping track of events in your life, and so on. However, a lot of people aren't sure how to get started in keeping a journal. My suggestion would be to scour the internet for fun journal prompts to help get you started.

Here are ten journal prompts to jumpstart your journaling efforts:

1. What's your favorite season and why?
2. Have you ever been betrayed by a friend?
3. What's the biggest lie you've ever told?
4. Describe your perfect career.
5. What is your fondest memory?
6. What traits do you look for in a friend?
7. What would you like to be remembered for?
8. Who has had the biggest influence in your life?
9. What advice would you give to your younger self?
10. What would you do if you won the lottery?
