Inspire Yourself! 30 Self-Discovery Journal Prompts For Manifestation

Question: How well do you know yourself? And I mean reaaaallly know yourself.

The reality is: you might not know yourself as well as you think! And not knowing/understanding yourself might just be the cause of some of your outer world problems.

We all have a well of knowledge within us! The only problem is most of us are rushing so fast through life that we forget to go inwards for the answers.

We’re used to letting our brain hang out in panic and chaos mode so much that we often forget that there’s even another way of being.

But you have a lot more knowledge and wisdom than you think. If you start opening the door to that knowledge, you might be surprised at just how much comes flooding out.

We should actually be turning inwards first instead of constantly chasing the next blog post, podcast or course.

And guess what? There’s actually an easy way you can make turning inwards a habit.

Journalling can be an immense source of self-discovery and self-guidance. It’s almost as good as working with a coach or even a therapist.

But I get it: most people still think journaling is something teen girls do–and therefore it’s not worthy of doing.

(Which really just says a lot about how we view women in this messed-up society!)

But when I talk about journalling I don’t mean just writing down your daily thoughts and fears (but don’t get me wrong–there is immense wisdom to be found in doing that too!).

In this practice of self-healing, we can work through some deeper diving questions that might get us to reflect on some new things and maybe even see ourselves (and the world) in a whole new light.

Would you like to get started journaling today? I mean why not give it a go at least? It’s free and the only thing you could possibly “waste” is some paper.

To get you started, here’s a list of 30 of my favorite journaling questions to help you with self-discovery and manifestation! Have fun and happy journaling my kittens!


30 Self-Discovery Journal Prompts For Manifestation

Journal Prompt #1:
How do I feel right now?

Journal Prompt #2:
What’s the biggest problem on my mind?

Journal Prompt #3:
If I could have anything I wanted in life, what would that be?

Journal Prompt #4:
Is there anything I’m currently hiding from or ignoring?

Journal Prompt #5:
What’s ONE thing I could do today that I would be proud of in six months?

Journal Prompt #6:
Think about your ideal dream future for a moment and sketch out all the details.

Journal Prompt #7:
What’s ONE flaw of yours that you think is getting in the way at the moment?

Journal Prompt #8:
Who do I really admire in the world right now and why?

Journal Prompt #9:
Who or what makes me feel crazy with jealousy? (Maybe even to the point of “hate”!) What is it about them that I secretly desire or admire?

Journal Prompt #10:
What do I need to hear the most right now? (Think on what that is & then say it to yourself!)

Journal Prompt #11:
What moments from my past still take up too much space in my mind? Who would I be if I could let all that pain/anger/resentment go?

Journal Prompt #12:
If the answer was always going to be YES, what would you ask for in life?

Journal Prompt #13:
What do I need the MOST right now and how can I get it?

Journal Prompt #14:
If no one could judge me EVER, how would I show up differently in the world?

Journal Prompt #15:
Who is my Sasha Fierce? aka your Superhero Alter-ego. Journal on what s/he embodies, what s/he stands for, says, does etc.

Journal Prompt #16:
What is your ideal day? From when you get up to when you go to bed at night, what would you MOST love to do everyday?

Journal Prompt #17:
We all have two sides within us–and sometimes those sides are in total opposition. So have a little conversation with yourself? How are you letting part of yourself down? How are you not showing up for yourself?

Journal Prompt #18:
Who would you need to be to HAVE the exact life of your dreams?

Journal Prompt #19:
Think about one major goal you have right now and make a list. What’s the ONE thing on that last that scares you the most? How fast can you go out there and just do it?

Journal Prompt #20:
Are you waiting for permission, to feel ready, to feel prepared, to know 100% what you’re doing? What would happen if you stopped waiting for those (fake) things and started taking action? What would you do first?

Journal Prompt #21:
What kind of legacy do you want to leave in this world?

Journal Prompt #22:
What do you REALLY want to be known for? (worldwide, in the history books etc.)

Journal Prompt #23:
How can I wake up every single morning and feel amazing? What would I have to be/do/achieve in order for that to happen?

Journal Prompt #24:
Think about your highest most juicy desires for a moment. Now journal on it: who ELSE could I help from me achieving what I want?

Journal Prompt #25:
Think of one of your BIGGEST hurdles right now. Then force yourself to sit down and come up with a step-by-step action plan. Don’t let your brain give you “I don’t know!” as an answer! Get creative and see what you can come up with.

Journal Prompt #26:
What would it be like to be fully aligned and receiving abundance in ALL areas of your life?

Journal Prompt #27:
If you were actually SERIOUS about becoming your Next Level Self, what actions would you be taking daily?

Journal Prompt #28:
If you could demand to be best friends with / or receive life/business guidance from ANYONE, who would that be? What do you wish they would tell you?

Journal Prompt #29:
What is taking up far too much of my time/mental space/energy right now? What would life be like without that?

Journal Prompt #30:
If you had to throw everything out and start all over fresh, what would you do? What would be different/fresh/new?

You are magic itself.And your desires have meani You are magic itself.And your desires have meaning for the WORLD.So if you really KNEW that you were here to feel happy and do the things that bring you joy, what would you be doing differently?If you’re like me, it’s too easy to forget our true divine nature.It’s too easy to believe our worries and limitations more than we trust ourselves and this beautiful journey.But if you could trust your magic for just a moment, what would change?If you knew your dreams where a matter of WHEN not if, how would this moment be different?All the magic you ever needed is IN you already. All you need to do right now is TUNE into it!

Identity shifting is KEY to manifesting.Because Identity shifting is KEY to manifesting.Because you ALWAYS manifest from your subconscious mind.Meaning you WILL play out old programs and ideas over and over again.Until YOU decide enough's enough! And do the work to REPROGRAM your mind to reflect what it you want and who you need to be.But sometimes, this work doesn't FEEL like it's doing anything.Those little tiny shifts on the inside are close to invisible--which might even make you doubt that it's happening at all.But trust me gorgeous, it IS.Keep taking tiny steps forward.Keep doubling down on who you WANT to be.TRUST the process and understandThat little by little, bit by bitIt all adds upUntil one day you look around and realize: I'm already there.

What would it be like to TRULY be enough for yours What would it be like to TRULY be enough for yourself?💜To not CRAVE that outside approval or validation?To forget about other people's opinions or what they say behind your back?To not motivate yourself to move TOWARDS something only because you cannot stand where you are?This just goes to show that as much as we all LOATHE to admit it, so much of what we do is based off of artificially leveraging ourselves UP.If so-and-so would only say "good job"If that person would LOVE meIf I finally did [ insert arbitrary goal here ]THEN I could finally feel good and actually TRULY love myself.Sometimes we all get our wires crossed on this at times. (Myself included!)We focus on the future fantasy that our issues will MAGICALLY disappear once X/Y/Z happens.And we chase the things outside of us, forgetting that the ONLY place our true happiness lies is within ourselves.I'm here to warn you:You could run the whole race of life and NOT get what you think you need from other people.You could meet milestone after milestone and still NEVER feel like you measure up. 😩ORYou could start being enough, right here, right now.Enough = you as you are, flaws, mistakes and all.Enough = you without anyone else.Enough = you.💗Happy Thursday Conscious Creator friends!

It's a FACT of life: you're simply NOT going to fe It's a FACT of life: you're simply NOT going to feel good all the time.And that's okay!Not gonna lie: the last month or so has been rough for me.The darkness of winter + strict lockdowns/limited holiday celebrations were TOUGH.I've definitely had my moments of letting it all get to me.But that doesn't mean anything has gone wrong.It doesn't mean that I'm somehow failing.And it definitely does NOT mean I'm putting more space between me and my manifestation goals.Even with the BEST of intentions, life is 50/50. Expecting perfection at any time will ONLY set you up for disappointment.Feeling frustrated, down, exhausted: those are all normal feelings for anyone experiencing a pandemic (plus general winter blues/ political chaos etc.)So while I don't want to create MORE of those feelings, I'm also not going to judge myself for having them.Making your feelings WRONG does not speed you up back into feeling better. It only creates self-loathing and resistance.Are you feeling the same? Here are a few things that are helping me right now:- Just letting myself cry if I feel like it (Sometimes 10 minutes of a good cry is a sufficient release!)
- Concentrating on pandemic-lockdown friendly goals that I CAN achieve (Doing pilates every day, meditation + Manifestation Journaling)
- Taking a break from drinking (I only drank about once a week anyway! But why not try going without it for a month?)
- Doing more behind-the-scenes entrepreneur stuff (The kinds of things that are so easy to put off for "someday")
- Using my SAD lamp every morning! (I only just got it but I swear it's helping)
- NOT judging myself too harshly if I suddenly don't feel up to doing the work I had planned or posting as much I "should" (Being an entrepreneur brings an EXTRA level of potential self-judgment that's hard to get out of at times.)This is all just a great example of one of the most important lessons of LIFE.You don't get to choose all your circumstances. But you DO get to choose what you do WITH them.What are you choosing to create right now? Whether you're in lockdown or not, I'd love to hear it!
The one constant in life is CHANGE.So you might The one constant in life is CHANGE.So you might as well get excited about it all and take the reigns of choosing WHAT you’re changing into.
Your choice: unconscious change vs becoming a Conscious CreatorWhat’s it going to be?
