# Intentional Living: 5 Journal Prompts for a Meaningful Day
Written on
Chapter 1: Embracing Journaling for Intentional Living
I began my journey with journaling at the age of nine and have maintained this practice for over 14 years. In the past, my entries consisted of random thoughts—recent events, my feelings about them, and lingering worries. While this free-form approach has been beneficial for processing my emotions, I have recently realized that I can be more purposeful in my journaling. By using it to set daily intentions, I can shape how I live my life, as our daily choices define our overall existence.
To foster a more intentional life, I now reflect on five key questions each morning:
What makes today unique?
This question serves as a reminder that every day is a precious gift. It’s easy for days to blur together, but recognizing that today is the only March 9, 2022, I will ever experience helps me appreciate it more fully.
How do I wish to feel by day's end?
By envisioning how I want to feel at the end of the day, I can plan my activities accordingly, ensuring that my actions align with my desired emotional state.
What three specific actions can I take today to progress towards my goals?
I find that focusing on three main actions strikes a balance between motivation and manageability. This approach helps me prioritize effectively and enhances the chances of completing these tasks.
What does my inner self require today?
This self-inquiry acts as a form of self-care, allowing me to connect with my mind, body, and spirit. It encourages me to be honest about my needs.
How can I make today different from yesterday?
Reflecting on yesterday’s missed opportunities enables me to identify areas for improvement, encouraging me to make better choices today.
