Our Top Therapeutic Journal Prompts
There are so many different prompts that you can use to explore your recovery. Take a look at the following options and grab your favorite journal!
What Inspired Me to Choose Recovery? What Inspires Me Daily?
Thinking about your inspiration can be a great way to stay on track and remain grounded. Take some time to think about what originally inspired you to choose recovery. You can also consider what inspires you daily. Keeping a list of your inspiration can be incredibly helpful, but you may want to take it one step further and create a vision board or collage that represents all of the different things that motivate you to continue with your sober journey.
Who Can I Turn to During Difficult Moments?
Having a list of people that you can rely on during difficult moments can be extremely helpful. Challenging times can make it seem appealing to relapse. Having people to turn to can help you stay sober and make sure that you have the support you need to focus on your sobriety and mental health.
What Will My Life Look Like in 10 Years if I Stay Sober?
Visualization can be extremely important when it comes to setting goals and this prompt can help you do that. Take some time to look towards the future and envision what your life will be like. This prompt can be incredibly freeing and helpful, so make sure to take enough time so that you can fully dive into this topic.
