Weird Random Journal Prompts

 I'm back!  After months of banging my head against the wall I finally figured out what to write about: headaches and how to get rid of the pain.  Just kidding.

Journaling seems to be quite a popular activity for most people.  There are a variety of journaling you can get involved in: Bullet journals, gratitude journals, smash journals, art journals just to name a few. I was searching on Pinterest to see if they could offer any suggestions but keep coming up with the same old, tired suggestions.  Here is a quick list of examples:

• What made you smile today?
• Name one thing you’re grateful for right now.
• Who made your day better today?
• What’s one thing you love about your morning routine?
• What’s a small win you had today?
• What’s a childhood memory that still brings you joy?
• What is something you’re proud of yourself for?
• What was the best part of your week?

I understand that you have to start somewhere when you begin your journal writing journey. I'm not here to discourage anyone. It's great to have a list of ideas that can get you started. While these questions are good if you are starting out, I think there needs to be a follow up list of questions/prompts.  I mean, how many times can you write about what inspires you?  You need to spice up that journal a little!  Really dig deep and put those thoughts on the page.  

I want to see you reach that writing goal and came up with a few prompts to get you going. No better time to start than the present. 

Let's start this list so you can get into journaling! 

1.  Name some annoying celebrities.

2.  The strangest scenario that you have been involved in.  Pretending to be someone's mother at a trampoline birthday party so you can sign their parental waiver.  No, that one's too easy.  

3.  The worst pick up lines.  While at Walmart, "Hey, Baby!  I'm really diggin' your pajamas." Ok, wait, that might actually work, but you get the idea.

4.  The one food/drink everyone is crazy about and you pretend to like it but deep inside can't stand the sight/taste/smell.  That might have to be any type of beef product for me. 

5.  If you could torture one well known person, using only tools that they are familiar with, who would it be and how would you do it?  I'm thinking Marie Kondo and putting her in one of my kids rooms.  The only way she can leave is if she cleans and organizes it.  You may think that's easy for her, but I know which kid's room she would be going into and....yea, she might be there for a really long time. Heck, we may never see her again!

I hope these prompts help you out.  Let me know what you think in the comments.
