33 Journal Prompts For Self-Discovery (Focused 2021 Goal Setting Challenge)

    |    by Rebecca

33 Journal Prompts For Self-Discovery (A Focused 2021 Goal Setting Challenge) - Everything Abode

For real self-discovery, we all need a bit of self-reflection…

And certain journal prompts for self-discovery is exactly how to do it!

Self-reflection can access, analyze, and direct us on what we are currently doing right so that we can be the awesome co-creators we want to be in our future lives!

After all, that is all in the name of personal self-improvement and development.

To really see what we’re doing well, what works right now, and to see what isn’t serving our highest good.

This way, in the future we will produce better outcomes to create a life that we can be most proud of.

So in order to find the best way to analyze and dig a little deeper, let’s see how the past year has gone for you (in this case, 2020, the most questionable year to date), and where you’re headed in 2021.

You’ll soon discover that what needs to change in order for you to accomplish your wildest dreams and goals — the answers are all within.

Here are 33 journal prompts for self-discovery paired with a goal setting challenge for 2021 that’ll help you think about where you are headed so you can make 2021 the best it can possibly be.

First, here are two things you should consider before you start:

1. Be extremely detailed.

The more you know what you’re looking for, the easier it is to get it. Here’s an example of this; It’s awesome to want to travel more, but where would you choose to go? And when? When you break it down like that (by choosing a destination rather than having a wish), it creates a narrower vision for your life, that turns it into a tangible goal that you can bring to life. 

Also, when thinking of your goals like this, your goals and dreams will become more realistic and you’ll be better able to strive to have the goals that you desire all because you made an actionable plan. 

2. Go with the rhythm but don’t force things!

Now being totally honest here, some of these prompts might not strike a chord with you. If that happens, feel free to leave or skip them.

You may also find that your mind takes you in an entirely different direction as you respond to one of these ideas below.

If that happens, let your mind wander, because you may be onto something so profound that you’ve never thought of before.
