For real self-discovery, we all need a bit of self-reflection …
And certain prompts for journal self-discovery are 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!
That is all in the name of personal self-improvement and development. To see what we’re doing well that works right now and to see what isn’t. This way, in the future we will produce better outcomes.
To find the best way to analyze and dig deeper, let’s see how the past year has gone (in this case, 2019), where you’re headed to 2020.
What needs to change in order for you to accomplish your wildest dreams and goals?
Here are 33 journal prompts that’ll help you think about where you are headed so that you can make this year a year for change!

But first, here are two things I’d like to address with you before you start:
1) Be extremely detailed…
The more you know what you’re looking for, the easier it is to get it. It’s awesome to want to travel more, but where would you choose to go? When you break it down like that (by choosing a destination rather than having a wish), it creates a narrower vision for your life.
When you do 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!
Some of these prompts might not strike a chord with you. 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.
