20 Journal Prompts to Reflect on This Holy Week

Here at Parlon, journaling is one of our favorite ways to reflect and get our thoughts out. Writing and dumping everything down, whether that’s on a piece of paper or via the Notes app on your phone, is a good practice to have for you to clear your head and make sense of what it is you’re currently feeling.

The Holy Week is a time of reflection and rest. And no matter where you are, we hope you’re able to take time to decompress, write, and reflect. We wrote a few journal prompts below to help you get started.

On Relationships and Love

1. How do you show kindness to others? How do you extend that kindness to yourself?
2. Write about three instances when you felt truly loved.
3. What’s one relationship you regret having or not having?
4. Write three acts of self-love that you want to incorporate in your daily life.
5. What do you love about yourself?

On Career and Goals

6. Write down a list of five small wins you’ve had at work recently.
7. If money didn’t matter, what job would you want to have and why?
8. What goals are you working on right now? What actions are you taking to achieve them?
9. How do you feel at the end of the day when you get off work? Why do you think that is?

12. What lies do you often tell yourself?
13. Finish this sentence: “A meaningful life to me is…”
