Journaling Prompts

Being able to cover more skin without getting too warm.

This will be cheating... but my 3 children (adults now), my father, my grandbaby
Eldest kid: Okay, we need a trip!
Son: This just dropped and it's Sick!!!
Youngest: If i come over, can you braid my hair?
Father: Thanks for the warning...
Grandbaby: Where'd it go?

Today’s prompt is:

Sit on the computer or phone n just scroll through videos n houses for rent/sale.

Napping, it works for me and time goes by.

For me it’s mostly screen time, so watching idiotic videos on YouTube, or really fascinating ones. I spend too much time on SF and my social media apps. I mostly ignore my facebook account unless I want to go tell someone I am thinking of them.

The signal to noise ratio there is decreasing so quickly that I stay away from it for a while, and I come back and can barely see anything from my contacts because it’s all promoted posts.

The other thing I like to do is veer off topic and write a paragraph or more that has nothing to do with the original question. 🤪

When I am not procrastinating, I like to relax with creative activity.

Veering off topic and going off on tangents is something I excel at. It can be fun the directions you may end up taking.

The next prompt is a little touchy, given the fact that we probably wouldn’t be here if not for depression (although not everyone), so I am going to tack on an alternative question that I think is more helpful.



When did you let fear win?

When is the last time you had fear, and did the thing anyway?

Today is:

Describe the most energetic, positive person in your life.

Sorry, I forgot for a few days. Here’s a new prompt

Write down one truth you need to be reminded often.

I always do that I am flawed and will screw up...hence I am human and don't take myself too seriously.

The feelings I have of hopelessness and despair will pass eventually and I can't give in to them.

Some excellent recent questions/prompts here for sure, gonna answer a few of them

I agree wholeheartedly with you that the 2nd phrasing of the question is far more helpful
I have fear every time I have to go out, especially over the last 3 weeks. Every time I “did it anyway” it was pretty much because I “had” to (groceries, prescriptions, etc), but I guess it “still counts” lol :p

Used to be my sis, I suppose it still is in some ways, but ya, I am sad to say it is less so these days. I hope she will find her true self again soon (when she is hopefully a bit less caught up in materialism).

I am ok, it will be ok no matter what happens, stay as calm, relaxed, positive and grateful about things as I possibly can, and try to not be so hard on myself.
(Ok, I guess that’s more like about 4 truths, but they all feel pretty “equally important” lol)

Just wanted to say I think that is truly excellent advice! I was definitely feeling quite hopeless and despairing a bit yesterday, woulda been so easy to give up on everything, but somehow I still stayed hopeful about things. Today did indeed become a far better, more hopeful day Absolutely, those feelings must never be given in to no matter what. Well said, I need to remind myself of those wise words often too for sure.

I'm glad you did, and hope things get easier for you and everyone else
