Journal prompts October

Each month I publish 30 journal prompts. I generally have a theme for the month. All you need to do is sign up to the newsletter and then, at the beginning of each month you’ll receive your 30 free journal prompts.

They are designed to help you engage with your journaling practice regularly as well as fire up your brain cells and encourage that brain/hand connection.

For this month, October 2024, the theme is Self Reflection and Transformation.

The theme idea arose because I realised that the end of the year is just around the corner and I haven’t achieved what I set out to do at the beginning of the year.

When I say achieved I mean that I had this idea of how I would like to shape my life this year and it has not yet come to pass.

Achieved feels very ‘striving’ in nature. Self reflection and transformation seem gentler.

I know I won’t get where I want to go by striving. Everyone will tell you that. Even previous ‘strivers’.

So I want to use the month to reflect and to move gently, but purposefully, towards my goals for the year.

I’m going to discount December in terms of getting those things done. I want to use December to prepare for the holidays with joy, rather than being anxious about achieving the changes and transformation I want to see in my life.

So I have until the end of November.

It’s not long.

Maybe you feel the same? If so, I invite you to join the newsletter to receive this month’s prompts and let’s set forth together, to self reflect and transform. Quietly, calmly and joyously.

A couple of journal prompts October examples

The prompts for October are divided into section. This prompt is taken from the ‘Reflecting on personal growth’ section:

How do you define personal growth? Have you experienced any shifts in this definition?

And this one is taken from the ‘Embracing change’ section:

What changes in your life are you currently resisting? Why?

Some prompts address self-discovery and inner growth:

What does “transformation” mean to you right now?

Whatever your approach to self reflection and transformation there are sure to be prompts that will help you reflect and grow.

So come and join us in the Journal Library and start to incorporate these prompts into your regular practice.

I have just started creating the prompts in a downloadable monthly calendar style. So you can print it out and keep it in your journal, or download it and keep it in an online organiser like Asana, or Trello. or you could just pin it to your laptop home screen for ease or reference.
