This post gives you 88 journal page ideas to spark your creativity and help you start writing.
A blank journal page can be daunting especially when you have no clue on what to write or where to start.
To make things worse, it might lead you to overthink the process, stopping you from journaling anything at all.
But don’t worry! Journaling doesn’t have to be stressful.
With a little inspiration, you can turn that blank page into a canvas for your thoughts, dreams, and creativity.
How Fill A Blank Journal Page
Journaling is a documentation of your thoughts, experiences, emotions and feelings.
Some like to make a record of this through writing, drawing, using a tracking system or creating a collage.
While there are different ways to journal, they all share one common theme — they’re not perfect.
If you’re writing, let your words flow through you freely. Don’t worry about the punctuation, the grammar or structure.
If you’re doodling, get creative with the colors, fold the corners or tear that page if you need to.
Journaling is freedom of expression. It’s about releasing what’s on your mind and in your heart.
The true value of journaling lies in the personal insights and emotional release you gain from the experience.
If you’re still not sure where or how to start, here are 88 journal page ideas to help you get started.
These journal page ideas are suitable for all types of journaling, including regular notebook journaling, junk journal, tracker journal and bullet journal.

1. About Me page
Think of this page as a cozy introduction to yourself, something for both now and your future self to look back on.
Write down who you are, what you love, and what’s currently shaping your world. It doesn’t have to be polished or perfect; just real. Over time, this about you page becomes a little time capsule, reminding you how much you’ve grown and evolved.
You could also do your About Me page in bullet points, create a sketch or drawing, or better yet, put together a mood board of everything that represents the current you.
2. All the things you love
Make a list of everything that makes your heart happy and wild — your favorite scent, song, place, or even a random snack you can’t get enough of. This will be a page that radiates joy, warmth and positivity.
And any time you feel low or had tough day, this page is a perfect go-to source for an instant mood pickup.
3. Your journaling goals (what you hope to get out of journaling)
Why do you journal?
This is where you set your intention for why you’re journaling in the first place.
Maybe you’re bored, or you’re hoping to feel calmer, be more mindful, or you simply want to track your growth. Writing your journaling goals down helps you connect with your purpose — your “why”. It’s also a way to motivate you to keep going, especially on days where you just don’t feel like journaling.
4. Letters to your younger self
Writing a letter to your younger self can be tender and healing.
Think about what your younger self needed to hear. Was it comfort, reassurance, or even forgiveness?
Writing this letter helps you reflect on how far you’ve come, the lessons you’ve learned and the achievements you’ve made. It also a great way to offer kindness and compassion to the younger you that still crave it.
This journal page may amplify feelings like nostalgia, curiosity, gratitude or a sense of relief.
5. Letters to your future self
Writing to your future self is both grounding and inspiring.
It’s like sending a message in a bottle to the version of you who’s lived through a little more life. You can share your current hopes, fears, and dreams or simply talk about your day. There’s no right or wrong way to do this.
When you read it back someday, it’ll remind you how much you’ve grown and what truly mattered to you.
If you’re not sure how to start, check out our post on 7 steps to writing a letter to your future self.
6. Letters to your favourite people
This is a beautiful space to express gratitude and affection for the people who make life brighter.
Write about what you love most about them, favorite memories you share, or how they’ve impacted your life.
You can send them the letters or just keep them to yourself.
7. Your favourite movies
Turn this journal page into a cinematic diary or film diary.
List all your favorite films or the ones that left a mark on you, and write down why they resonate. Maybe it’s the story, the music, the person you’re watching it with or how it made you feel at a certain time in your life.
Make sure to include the year or age you watched the movie.t It’s always fun to see how your movie taste evolves over time.
8. Your favourite songs
Music often says what words can’t.
Use this page to capture songs that move you — the ones that instantly shift your mood, make you nostalgic, or give you energy. You can include lyrics that hit home or the memories attached to each song.
This page is going to be a musical scrapbook of your thoughts, feelings and emotions.
9. Your favourite podcast
This is a great page for anyone who loves learning or being inspired while multitasking. Plus it’s a nice way to track what’s been feeding your curiosity lately.
Jot down the podcasts that have taught you something new, made you laugh, or simply kept you company. You can add a one liner or a short summary of your favorite episodes or key takeaways. Feel free to also include quotes or statements that stood out.
10. Your hero
Dedicate this page to someone you deeply admire.
This person could be a public figure, a family member, or someone you quietly look up to. Or your hero could be you.
Write about what makes them your hero and how they’ve influenced your life. Sometimes identifying your hero can also help you recognize the values you hold close to your heart.
11. Your most read book and why you love it
We all have that one book we could read again and again. This could be our favourite book, or it’s one of those readings that teaches us something new every time we read it.
What is it about? What does it means to you? What feelings does it evokes every time you read it? What’s your favourite quote from the book?
Whatever it is, use this page to celebrate it. Maybe it changed how you see the world, or maybe it just brings comfort. Either way, it deserves a special spot in your journal.
14. Your favourite playlist
Playlists are personal time capsules. Each song holds emotions, memories, and moments.
Use this page to write down your favorite playlist (or a few), including songs that always find their way back into your life. You could even decorate the page to match the vibe of your playlist — moody, happy, nostalgic, or dreamy.
12. Which movie character you’d like to be
This is a playful and imaginative page.
Think about the movie character whose life, attitude, or courage you admire — the one you secretly wish you could step into for a day. Writing this down can reveal what qualities or adventures you crave in your own life. It’s fun and a little bit self-revealing at the same time.
13. Which book character you’d like to be
Similar to the movie character page, this one dives into the world of books.
Maybe you see yourself in a certain character, or maybe they embody traits you aspire to have. Writing about this can be surprisingly reflective — it gives you a glimpse into your inner world through the lens of your favorite stories.
15. Create a vision board
This page is where you bring your dreams to life visually.
Cut out magazine clippings, print images, or sketch things that represent what you want to attract into your life. Write down quotes and affirmations, combine pictures, do it however you like.
Remember, it’s not about perfection — it’s about your energy and intention.
Every time you flip to this page, it serves as a gentle reminder of the life you’re creating for yourself.
Looking for a simple journal book that you could carry with you wherever you go? This journal notebook might be exactly what you need! It’s lightly lined, functional and small pocket size, fits perfect in most bags, totes and backpacks.
16. A list of motivational and confidence-boosting quotes
We all need a page that lifts us up on a bad day.
For this page, fill the space with words that inspires you — the kind that reminds you of your strength, courage, and worth. It could be a quote from Instagram, something a friend once said, a line from a movie or a book, or collect words that make you feel seen and heard.
Over time, this page becomes your personal pep talk in writing form.
17. A review about your favourite book
If a story stays with you long after you’ve finished it, it deserves a spot not just in your heart but also in your journal.
Write about the book in depth — the plot, the writing style, or the characters you liked and disliked. Include how the book made you feel and what you took away from it.
This is a fantastic way to preserve that feeling of finishing a truly good read.
18. A list of your favourite affirmations
You can’t have a journal notebook without some positive affirmations.
Fill this page with words that feel grounding or empowering. You can keep it short and simple, or turn it into a creative page full of hand-lettered phrases.
Make sure to read your affirmations as often as possible — they are great reminders of what’s true and possible.
19. A review about your favourite movie
Movies often leave an emotional imprint.
Maybe it made you cry, inspired you, or reminded you of a certain time in your life.
Summarise what the movie meant to you and what stood out most (ie. a line, a scene, or the soundtrack).
If you’re feeling creative, consider drawing or stick images of your favourite scenes or characters to your journal.
20. One word to describe your life
No cheating. One word only.
Choosing a single word to define your life right now can be surprisingly powerful.
Maybe it’s “transformation,” “stress,” or “motherhood.” Whether your word is positive or negative, it’s not set in stone. As time goes on, you can revisit this page and see how your word evolves.
Feel free to write about why that word fits and what it represents for you, or to keep it simple, just write one word and move on to the next journal page.
21. Your current obsessions
Write down everything you’re currently obsessed with.
This could the latest TV show that you can’t stop talking about, the strawberry matcha that you must have once a week or that vitamin C serum that gives you glowing skin.
What I love about this page is that it’s fun and lighthearted but it also records a beautiful snapshot of who you are in this moment. Looking back later, you’ll smile at how the interests you had and how much they’ve changed (or maybe, they stayed exactly the same).
22. The repeated patterns that you keep seeing in your life
Oof this is a tough one but so worth it.
Sometimes life sends us the same lessons over and over until we finally understand them.
Use this page to write down the repeating patterns in your life. This could be in school, relationships, habits, or choices. Writing them out helps you make sense of them without judgment.
It’s an also introspective page that encourages awareness rather than self-criticism.
23. Create a bucket list for each season
The best way to maximize your year is to create a bucket list for each season.
This is a lovely way to stay intentional and get things done.
Write at least 10 things you want to do each season, and check them off when it’s completed.
By the end of the year, you will have gone through 40 new experiences.
24. Angel number
This journal page isn’t for everyone but iykyk.
Write down the angel numbers (or repeating numbers) you keep seeing and what they mean to you personally.
Whether you see them as signs or simple coincidences, it’s still a sweet way to reflect on timing, alignment, and the sense that the universe might just be communicating with you.
25. Your favourite memory
Dedicate a page or two to a favourite memory that always puts a smile to your face.
Describe it in detail — the sounds, the colors, the people, and how it made you feel.
This page becomes a doorway back to that moment every time you read it. It’s also a gentle reminder that beautiful things have already happened, and more are on their way.
26. Places you like to travel
This page is your travel bucket list.
Write down all the places you want to go and what draws you to each of them. Add in when you’d like to go (ie. after graduation, next winter, etc) and who’d you like to go with (ie. friends, family). You can even create a list of the things you need to prepare for that specific trip.
27. A forgiveness letter to yourself
This page might feel a little heavy at first, but it’s deeply healing.
Write a letter to yourself, forgiving the past mistakes or regrets you’ve been carrying.
The purpose of this letter isn’t to fix anything but to acknowledge, release, and let compassion fill your heart.
28. Daily reflections
This is your simple, daily mindful check-in.
Each day, write down a few sentences about what went well, what challenged you, or how you felt. Over time, these small reflections become record of your growth and experiences.
If you’re not sure what to write or where to start, pick a journal prompt from our list to get started.
29. Your dream life
Dream without limits, and let it be vivid and full of possibility.
Describe what your ideal life looks like — where you live, how you spend your days, who’s around you, and every little detail you can think of.
This isn’t about chasing perfection, but about getting clear on what truly makes you feel alive.
30. A list of your favourite quotes and why they are inspirational
We all have quotes that linger in our minds long after we read them.
Gather them all and write why each one speaks to you. Maybe it reminds you of strength, hope, or resilience.
Another thing I like to do is write quotes randomly throughout my journal. This becomes a present surprise when I see the quote again.
Are you stuck in the past, repeating the same patterns and unsure how to break free?
Shadow work journaling can help you uncover hidden beliefs, heal old wounds, and move forward with clarity. My Shadow Prompts Guide is designed to help you gently explore your inner world and release what no longer serves you. Are you ready to break free? Get your guide now!
31. This year’s birthday wish
There’s no such thing as too many birthday wishes.
Write down everything you want, not just material things, but feelings, experiences, and hopes you have for this year, at this age.
I personally like to review this page throughout the year, and not just on my birthday. And surprisingly, everything on this list always come true. So I guess the magic isn’t always blowing out candles, but reading it as often as possible.
32. Your ultimate wish list
Unlike your birthday wish that is only for that year, the ultimate wish list page is for everything you want in this lifetime.
Whether it’s big or small, write down all the things you want to have and experience in this lifetime.
Similar to the birthday wish list, I like to read this page once a day. It’s a great way to stay mindful and focus on what I want rather than impulsively buying or forgetting. And every now and then, I will also make adjustments to my list, adding or removing things that no longer resonates.
33. Your top 5 favourite things
List your top five favorite things right now.
This could be a song, a drink, a cafe across from work, or even a self-care ritual.
I like to call this page my feel good, comfort corner because it makes me happy every time I read it.
34. Your intention for this month
Setting a monthly intention gives your days a gentle sense of direction.
Use this page to define how you want to feel or what you’d like to focus on for the next few weeks.
It doesn’t have have to be ambitious, filled with audacious goals and back-to-back plans. It could be something simple like “slow down” or “be kinder to yourself”.
35. Favourite things to do on a Sunday evening
I love a good Sunday evening routine. It gives me peace and a fresh start to the new week.
Fill this page with little rituals or activities that help you unwind — maybe lighting a candle, journaling, or preparing for the week ahead.
Over time, this becomes your personal comfort guide, like it has for me, for easing into a new week feeling grounded and refreshed.
36. Create a collage of things you love or want to manifest
Time to get fun and creative.
Grab some old magazines, photos, or printouts, and make a collage of everything that lights you up, represents your dreams or both.
It doesn’t need to be perfect or polished — the most important thing is the energy and feeling it brings.
37. List of things you’re grateful for
You might need a few pages for this one.
Jot down the people, moments, and every little and big things that you’re thankful for.
Gratitude pages have a way of shifting our focus, helping us notice that even on hard days, there’s still something good to hold on to. Not only that but it helps us recognise and honor the forgotten blessings we have in our life.
38. A story about your personal growth or spiritual journey
We all have moments of change that shape who we are.
Use this page to write about yours — the lessons, the setbacks, the highs and the lows, and the transformations that happened along the way. Reading this back someday will remind you just how far you’ve come.
39. Create a mood board for the new season
This is like Pinterest but non-digital.
Use this page to capture how you want to feel this season. Add textures, colors, quotes, or doodles that match the mood. This is a creative way to align yourself with the season’s rhythm and energy.
40. Create a mood board of your current aesthetics
Use this page to explore what currently inspires you visually.
Think colors, patterns, outfits, or moods that reflect who you are right now.
Remember, your aesthetics isn’t just limited to your style, but it’s also a reflection of your inner world and energy.
41. A list of your goals for the next 3 years
Think of this page as a roadmap to your future self.
Write down where you hope to be or what you’d love to experience in the next few years. It could be personal growth goals, career dreams, or lifestyle shifts.
This purpose of this page is to help you stay connected to your long-term vision. So revisit it every so often and make adjustment as needed.
42. Describe a recent déjà vu moment
There’s something mysterious and fascinating about déjà vu.
Sometimes they feel like a dream, other times they feel like past life moment or a re-lived memory, all with that feeling of “I’ve been here before.”
Write about your last déjà vu moment, what you were doing, who you were talking to and how it made you feel. Even if there’s no clear explanation as to why they feel familiar, it’s interesting to capture those little slips in time that make life feel a bit more interesting.
43. Doodle whatever comes to mind
This page is all about messiness, expression and spontaneity.
Let your pen wander across the page without thinking too much. Maybe it turns into something abstract, or maybe it stays as random squiggles — it doesn’t matter. It’s not about perfection so let yourself loose and go with the flow.
44. A list of things that make you happy
List everything that brings you joy — people, smells, sounds, foods, places, or even inside jokes. Feel free to also draw, add stickers or post-its or photos to your page.
It’s one of those pages that always feels warm to read later, reminding you that happiness often hides in the smallest, simplest things.
45. Create pressed flowers between pages
This used to be a childhood favourite.
Gather some flowers or leaves, press them between the pages of a dictionary, book or your journal, and let time work its charm. Once they’re dry, glue or tape them in with care.
46. Draw a one-line portrait of yourself
Perfection is impossible for this one — and that’s the whole point.
Do a one-line portrait of yourself without lifting your pen. Sketch your face or your silhouette in one continuous motion. You don’t need to be accurate, it’s all about flow and expression.
The result might surprise you: a minimalist, abstract version of yourself that feels raw and full of character.
47. Describe your self-care routine
Use this page to document what self-care looks like for you.
This could be doing face masks, taking bubble baths, journaling, meditation, speaking on the phone with your bestie — it could be anything as long as it recharges and energises you.
Writing it down helps you see how you care for yourself, and encourages you to make space for it more often.

48. Write a story about your future life
We think alot about our future but we don’t write about it.
This is your chance to let your imagination take the lead and write out loud a story of how you’d like your future life to be.
Picture your ideal life — where you live, how you spend your mornings, who surrounds you, and what brings you joy. Write it as if it’s already happening, like you’re describing a day in that dream version of yourself.
This is a creative and powerful way to connect with your vision and bring it a little closer to reality.
49. Get to know yourself better with self-discovery journal prompts
Use this page as a space for self-exploration.
I’ve created a list of self-discovery reflection questions to help you understand who you are — things like “What makes me feel at peace?” or “What does happiness mean to me?” Alternatively, you can answer a question a day using the 365 daily journal prompts.
Bear in mind that you might not have answers to all the questions, and that’s ok. Complete the ones you know, the other answers will come to you eventually.
50. Make a list of names for your future children
Naming children is hard.
Even if you’re not planning for kids, it’s still a lovely way to explore what resonates with you in terms of identity and meaning.
Because sometimes, the names we choose tell a story of what we value.
51. Pick a name for yourself
If you could choose to name yourself, what would it be?
Think about what name you’d choose for yourself if you could start over — maybe something bold, mysterious, or soft, or you’d create a name from scratch.
Write about why it feels right and what it says about how you see yourself. This is great way to explore your identity and reinvention. If you like, you could also use this name to label your alter ego or shadow self.
52. Create a list of names for your future pet
Whether you’re a dog person, a cat person, or dream of having something more unique, this page is for you.
Write down cute, quirky, or meaningful pet name ideas that make you smile. It’s a lighthearted way to daydream — and who knows, maybe one day one of those names will belong to your furry friend.
53. Create a to-do checklist
A classic page, but always a helpful one.
Design your own daily, weekly or monthly checklist layout — add stickers, post-its, color, quote of the day, or anything that motivates to take action and get things done.
The beauty of adding daily to-dos in your journal is that it can help you stay grounded and intentional. Plus, there’s nothing quite as rewarding as ticking off those boxes at the end of the day.
One thing I love to do after checking each item off my to-do list is to write a positive affirmation right next to it. For example, I might write statements like “I am successful at what I do” or “I am capable of getting work done.” This is a simple way to hype myself up and rewire my mindset to think positively.
54. Do an emotional dump of all things and people that’s making your heart feel tight
Sometimes the best therapy is just getting it all out.
Use this page to release everything that’s been weighing on your heart and body — the frustrations, the misunderstandings, the judgments, the worries.
Don’t hold back or edit yourself; this page is for your eyes only. When you’re done, you might find that you feel lighter and clearer, even if nothing else has changed.
55. Draw a 4-panel comic about a day at work
Put on your creative hat, and draw your day in a fun, humorous lens.
Divide the page into four panels and sketch out a simple comic strip of something that happened to you today. Add as much color and detail as you like.
You don’t have to be an artist to do this, your drawings could be a stick figures. This page is all about storytelling and capturing the essence of your day in a playful way.
56. Write a list of things, habits, people, or routines that you must let go
This is your page of freedom.
List out the things that no longer serve you, your mind, your body and your soul.
Writing them down can help acknowledge what you’re ready to release, creating space for something better. It’s a gentle but powerful act of self-liberation.
If you like, you can also create a release ritual, like tearing up the list, or burning sage to clear out the old energy for a new welcoming.
57. Write a love poem to yourself
Is this giving you goosebumps or the cringe vibe?
Writing a love poem to yourself might feel strange at first but it’s one of the most tender and sweet things you can do. Write about your resilience, your kindness, your quirks, or the parts of yourself that deserve more appreciation.
This is a beautiful exercise can cultivate self-acceptance and self-compassion, and most importantly, celebrate who you are, flaws and all.
58. Write your favourite recipe
Turn this into your own little cookbook.
Write down a recipe (or two) you love — maybe it reminds you of home or a dish you make when you need comfort. Add notes, memories, or tweaks you’ve made to make it your own.
What I love about this page is that it’s not just about food; it’s also about preserving the stories and emotions tied to it.
59. Write a goodbye letter to someone
Are you looking for closure?
Write a letter to someone that you’re finally ready to let go of.
Say everything you’ve been holding inside: gratitude, anger, sadness, or forgiveness. When you’re done, you may feel a sense of peace that words finally gave form to what your heart’s been carrying.
60. Describe your alter ego
This is your sign to bring that other version of you to life.
Describe your alter ego in detail. From their name to their personality, what they wear and how they act. Also, include why they are important to you and the influence they have on your life.
If you’re up for a challenge, schedule a weekend to live life like your alter ego. Make sure to document and journal your experience.

61. Write a conversation you had with a stranger
The most interesting interactions I’ve ever had are usually with strangers.
This could be an Uber driver, the guy queuing in front of me, or the lady who bought second-hand top from Facebook Marketplace.
Use this page to record a short conversation you had with a stranger — how did it happen, what did you talk about, why did this encounter leave a lasting impression?
While a fleeting moment might not mean much at that time but it’s usually these random interactions that teach or change us in the most unexpected ways.
62. Create a scrap page of a place you recently visited
This is so much fun to do.
All you need is a collection of everything from your recent trip.
It could be your train ticket, a leaf from a walk, a receipt from that amazing cafe, a random photo, or a quick sketch of the view. Whatever it is, just paste it on your page. It will all naturally come together once it’s done.
63. Write about your dreams and nightmares
Your subconscious is a powerful storyteller.
Recording your dreams can unlock creative ideas, help process emotions, and provide fascinating insight on your day to day life.
The best time to do this journal page is first thing in the morning before anything else. Write down as much detail as possible including the faces you saw, how you felt and what you experienced.
64. Create a list of things that you’re good at
This is page is your space to brag about yourself.
Are you a fantastic listener? Great at making jokes? An expert pancake flipper?
Write everything that you are good at and proud of. Acknowledging your strengths builds confidence, self-worth and self-appreciation. Come back to this page as often as you can.
65. Draw today’s weather
How’s the weather today? Or the weather within?
Capturing the weather is not just a record of the atmosphere outside but also a reflection of the climate on the inside, aka you.
This is the page is where you get to express through drawing the actual weather of the day, or how it really feels for you on the inside. And if you like, you could do both.
66. Write about the person who inspires you the most
Who makes you want to be a better version of yourself?
Dive into why.
Is it their kindness, their creativity, their resilience? Describe a specific quality or moment that inspired and influenced you.
This exercise clarifies the values you want to embody and the person you wan to become.
67. Draw your favourite outfit
You don’t have to be an artist, just a simple sketch or even a detailed description will do.
What is it about this combination of clothes — is it the comfort, the confidence, or the colors? Do you have this outfit in your closet? This page helps illustrate your sense of style and aesthetics and how it makes you feel.
68. Do a brain dump of everything that’s on your mind
Your mind deserves a break.
This page is where you unload the mental clutter. Write down every to-do, worry, idea, judgement and random thoughts that been sitting rent free on your mind.
This practice is a great way to relax your mind and nervous system, reducing anxiety and creating space for calm, clarity and peace.
69. Write a list of all fears that you’ve overcome in the past 5 years
You know you’re fearless and this is your page to prove it.
Write down all fears that you’ve overcome in the past 5 years. It could be public speaking, learning how to drive, or honoring your boundary and saying “No”.
Don’t just write them down, but read those conquered fears out loud to reminder yourself of your own growth and courage. This is tangible proof that you are stronger than you think and you have what it takes to overcome difficulties and challenges.
Revisit this page often for encouragement and motivation.
70. Describe your weird, quirky side
What’s that little thing that makes you, you?
Maybe you have a secret dance for when you’re alone, a bizarre food combination you love, or a fictional world you’ve built in your head.
Acknowledging your quirks is not just an act of self-love but a celebration of your authenticity.
71. Create a meal plan for the next 2 weeks
This isn’t just a practical page; it’s an act of self-care.
Planning your meals can save money, reduce food waste, and help you eat healthier. It also frees up mental energy for more important things like your goals, spending time with your loved ones or doing your favourite alone time activity.
72. Answer one question a day for the next 365 days
A question-a-day journal is a manageable commitment with a huge payoff. It’s one of the most rewarding long-term journaling projects you can do.
Start today using our 365 days journal prompt (organised by month), pick one question and write the answer in your journal. A year from now, you’ll have a beautiful, condensed timeline of your evolving thoughts, feelings, and experiences.
73. Create a sleep log
This one is often overlooked but super helpful especially for those who have sleep issues, always feeling tired or want to improve their overall health.
This page is where you track your bedtime, wake time, and quality of sleep. You could do this for a week or two, or even extend it to one full year. You can also add on the side your evening routine, caffeine intake, or stress levels for that day.
The purpose of this log is to uncover patterns that are either helping or hindering your rest so you can take appropriate actions where needed and create positive change for better sleep.

You might be surprised by how much money you’re spending on subscriptions that you don’t need.
From streaming services to monthly snack boxes and gym memberships, it’s easy to lose track. List out all your subscriptions with their costs, renewal dates, and whether you actually still use them. It’s also worthwhile checking if your subscriptions are automatic or manual renewals to avoid recurring and uncessary expenses.

77. Create a mood tracker
How moody are you?
With this journal page you can give your feelings a color and see how it changes throughout the season.
What I love about a mood tracker, besides being pretty, it’s a fantastic visual tool for self-awareness on our energy and emotion. It can reveal connections between your activities, your health, and your emotional well-being.
To make this extra, you can display your mood tracker as a wall art.
78. Create a word art out of your favourite quote
Let the words themselves become an image.
Play with different fonts, sizes, and colors to visually represent the meaning and feeling behind a quote that moves you. This creative exercise deepens your connection to the words and turns them into a piece of art.
79. Do a monthly recap, including all highlights and lowlights
A monthly recap is like a monthly reflection.
This page is for celebrating the small wins and acknowledging the challenges, growth and learnings. It’s both a balanced and honest record of your life’s journey. It’s also the perfect way to practice gratitude while also processing and releasing what didn’t go as planned.
80. Draw what’s in front of you right now
You don’t need to create a masterpiece.
Just draw what’s in front of you right now — your coffee cup, your messy desk, the view from your window, or whatever it is that you see.
This practice is about being present and training your eye to see the details in your everyday surroundings.
81. Create an abstract drawing of your current mood
Here’s your chance to draw your feelings.
Is your stress a scribble of red? Is your calm a soft blue?
Let this page be your non-verbal way to process and release emotions.
82. Write down all the little habits that changed your life
The magic is in the small details.
Whether it’s making your bed first thing in the morning, a five-minute stretch, or drinking a glass of water before coffee, each of these micro habits reinforces their positive impact and reminds you that big change starts small.
Write down all the small habits that you’ve been doing, and next to it explain how it changed your life. Also, include new habits you’d like to adopt and ways you can incorporate it into your routine. Check out this post if you need ideas or want to learn more about small habits.
83. Express yourself using shapes, lines and forms
Similar to the above, this one is all about self-expression in shapes, lines and forms.
What shape is your confidence? Is happiness a thick or thin line? Alternatively, draw how you feel in the current moment using the basic elements.
This is a fun, low-pressure way to tap into your creativity and express something intangible.
84. Draw your fear, then mark an “X” over it
I love this one.
Here’s what you need to do:
Give your fear a face, even an abstract one, and then literally cross it out. Mark a large “X” over it, and say “You have no power over me” or “I am fearless.”
This is a potent and empowering ritual. The simple act of externalizing your fear and then “defeating” it on the page is a great way to assert to yourself that you can overcome anything.
85. Create a list of activities you’d love to do by yourself
Solo dating and me-time are good for you.
List everything that you enjoy to do by yourself. From singing in the shower to reading romance novels or spending the whole of Sunday afternoon in your pyjamas, write them all down.
Don’t forget to include the things you’ve never tried but want to explore on your own. And to make sure it happens, schedule them in your calendar as a non-negotiable activity.
86. Paste in your favourite photo and describe what you love about it
A picture is worth a thousand words, but your personal story is priceless.
Go beyond the image and write down the memory, the people, the feeling, and all the tiny detail that makes this particular photo so special to you.
87. Write a list of the things you need to remember
Say goodbye to those mental sticky notes.
Write down everything from “Mom’s birthday is next week” to “Buy more toothpaste” or affirmations like “Remember that you are capable.” Getting it all on paper frees your mind and keeps you on top of your game.
88. Create a list of things that you’re currently working on
This is your personal progress report.
It could include skills you’re learning, personal habits you’re trying to build, or projects at work or home. Seeing your active efforts listed out provides clarity, motivation, and a wonderful sense of accomplishment as you check them off.
One thing like to do when something is accomplished is to write next to it “I am successful, I get things done.” It’s a fantastic way to remind myself that I am capable and successful in everything I do.
