Journal Prompts for Teens

You may have heard that using a journal is a great strategy, but you don't know what to write about or where to begin. These 54 journal prompts can help. They provide thought-provoking questions to help identify feelings and emotions and explore healthy ways to cope. It's a creative way to encourage self-awareness.  To use the cards, print off the six pages, then cut out each journal prompt. Pick one card, and use that as a question to begin your journal session for the day. You may write a few words, sentences, or paragraphs - it doesn't matter how long you write as long as you get a little inspiration to write something, learn more about yourself, and explore what strategies might work for you. THE POWER OF WRITING IN A JOURNAL: Writing in a journal is a strategy I love to introduce to my clients, in particular my teen clients, for lots of different reasons: Writing in a journal helps you process what's happening. It can help you solve problems It can help you re-frame your thinking Sometimes, it's easier to write about than talk about hard things. You are free to say everything you feel - the good, the bad, and the horrible stuff you'd never say out loud. It's portable and convenient It's not graded Start a journal today using these questions! These questions can be used alone or with our Coping Skills for Teens Journal. Learn more at store.copingskillsforkids.com
