MINDFULNESS

One of the paramount benefits of mindfulness is that it helps to increase our sense of self-awareness. The more we practice, the more attuned we become to our feelings, our thoughts, and the world around us. This increase in awareness enables us to engage thoughtfully with the world and increases our sense of self-empowerment.

Formal mindfulness meditation is an excellent way to achieve this benefit, but it isn’t the only tool we can explore. Keeping a mindfulness journal (and exploring the power of mindfulness journal prompts) can help us to dive more contemplatively into who we are and what we are experiencing.

Through journaling, we are provided the space to safely and honestly express our thoughts and feelings. The use of mindful writing in journals prompts enhances this process, encouraging us to relate to our experience with open, curious, and compassionate awareness.

If you use journals to increase self-awareness and overall wellbeing, consider the following mindful writing prompts to guide your reflections in nourishing and expansive ways.
