15 Powerful Journalling Prompts to Support Your Mental Wellbeing

Journalling is more than just writing on paper — it’s an invitation to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with yourself. Whether you're looking to ease anxiety, boost your mood, or build self-awareness, the right journalling prompts can help you process your thoughts with intention.

In this post, we’re sharing 15 carefully designed journalling prompts to support your mental wellbeing — inspired by the mindful structure of The Mind Plan Journal.

Why Use Journalling Prompts?

Starting with a blank page can feel overwhelming. Prompts gently guide your thoughts and make journalling feel more structured and purposeful. They're especially helpful for:

• Reducing overwhelm or racing thoughts
• Improving emotional clarity
• Developing a regular self-care habit
• Supporting mental health through self-reflection
