Benefits of Daily Journaling With Prompts

Research has shown that journaling can help manage depression, reduce anxiety and stress, and even assist with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.

You might wonder, “Why use writing prompts?”. Why not just write whatever comes to mind?

If you know what to put in your daily journal entry, you may not need journal prompts. However, most of us find a little extra motivation useful to inspire our daily reflection.

Journal writing prompts act like sentence starters that ignite your creativity and introspection. They encourage us to cover a wide range of topics, from self-reflection to gratitude, fun topics and deeper diving into mental health care. 

They provide a starting point, making it simpler to conquer the dreaded blank page situation. They guide your writing, helping you delve into different themes and ideas.

Having a daily prompt helps establish a habit, making journaling part of your everyday life and offering you new topics to explore instead of repeating the same things each day.

And most importantly, they make journaling exciting!

How to Use These March Writing Prompts

Wondering how to use these daily writing prompts? It’s simple to get started. 

Each day in March, carve out a few quiet moments for yourself, starting from March 1st.

Sit down with your journal and pen, read the prompt for the day, and just start writing.

Don’t worry about spelling, grammar, or perfect sentences. Mistakes don’t matter when you’re writing for your own personal growth.

This is your space to express yourself freely and honestly. Write for as long as you feel inspired to, whether that’s 5 minutes or half an hour.

The aim is to be consistent!

One handy tip is to set a daily reminder in your phone or digital calendar at a convenient time, reminding you to do your daily journal prompt.

Whether you prefer morning reflection, a midday break or journaling before bed, it doesn’t matter when so long as you make the time each day.

These prompts can even be used in a classroom with older grades for daily writing exercises, since even from an early age, a journal practice is beneficial. You may need to adjust a couple of the prompts to suit younger kids.

What Type of Journal to Use

The best type of journal is one that makes you want to write! 

It could be a fancy leather-bound journal, a practical option with interchangeable journal covers, a simple notebook with lined pages, or even a digital app.

Choose something that feels comfortable and easy because if it feels complicated, you won’t stick with your daily habits!

If you’re not a fan of writing, try typing into an electronic document such as Microsoft Word or Google Docs, or use a journal app on your phone for accessibility.

If digital doesn’t feel right, pen and paper are easy and portable too!

Here are some great options for journals:

And remember, it’s not about how your journal looks, but what you pour into it.

Tips For Sticking To A Daily Journal Habit

Maintaining a daily journal habit doesn’t come naturally to most of us. Any new habit takes time to build and it also requires a level of intention to keep it going.

There are a few things you can do to help you maintain your daily journaling habit:

  • Start Small – Don’t overwhelm yourself with the thought of writing pages every day. Start with a few sentences or bullet points about your day. As you get comfortable, you can gradually increase the length of your entries.
  • Create A Routine – Incorporate journaling into your daily routine, such as during an intentional morning routine or evening routine.
  • Don’t Aim For Perfect – Your journal is for you and you alone. Don’t worry about judgement. Free thought is the goal here!
  • Use Daily Prompts – If you’re not sure what to write about, use prompts, such as these March journal prompts for daily inspiration.
  • Make it Fun – Journaling should never feel like a chore. It should feel like a 5-minute self-care activity. If you associate journaling with positive feelings, you are more likely to stick with it.
  • Practice Patience – Creating a new habit takes time. Don’t be discouraged if you miss a day or two. Just pick up where you left off and keep going.

Your journaling goal is to help you gain clarity and deeper reflection on your thoughts, emotions, struggles and accomplishments. It’s a learning tool for self-care rather than your best writing work!
