Reflective Questions for Journaling

Journaling can greatly enrich our lives. Sometimes, however, it can be difficult to organise our thoughts and reflect. This works best when we ask ourselves a few questions and then answer them. The 6-Minute-Journals come with reflection questions included. This makes them easier to fill out than books with completely blank pages. But even here, you have creative freedom in how you answer the questions.

If you use a 6-Minute-Journal and need a little extra inspiration to answer the prompts on certain days, feel free to think about the following journaling questions. Then answer the ones that come to mind quickly in the book. If you want to fill out a blank journal, you can write the questions in as well. 

One thing first: When journaling, you should write freely from the heart. If you have to think about it for too long or a question doesn't apply to what you experienced, simply skip it.
