spring journal prompts
goodbye winter, hello spring!
Happy April! I hope you’ve been enjoying the start of this spring season <3
I find that spring really feels like the beginning of the year—from flowers blooming, to hearing more birds chirping, to more sunlight during the day. What gets better than that?
I wanted to share some questions with you to reflect on winter and what spring may bring. So, make your coffee or tea, grab your journal and pen, and take a little moment to self-reflect :)

Love this post. Your questions had me thinking. I realized that this past winter was more enjoyable and felt less lonesome than previous winters have.
I am a medically challenged senior who lives on my own. I am quite physically isolated during bad weather. I live in Canada and winters are long. I love my country and am so proud to be Canadian but the winters are long 🙂.
I journalled this winter and started each day writing down 5 things that I was grateful for. I focused on being kinder to myself and to others. I prayed for the children of the world and for our planet. I engaged in monthly online therapy sessions with a lovely therapist. I listened to music and danced in my apartment. I listened to Audible. I painted. I watched great movies and and enjoyed reality TV. I meditated. I cooked yummy beautiful meals for myself and sent photos of them to my daughter. I took hour long showers with beautiful shower products gifted to me by my daughter. I gave myself facials and foot soaks and hand massages and used my Happy Lights all with products and equipment gifted to me from my daughter.
I realized that I am not alone and found ways to stay connected during the isolation of winter. I changed my attitude about that stark dark quiet season. I embraced it as much as I could. I was patient with winter and with myself. Well mostly.
I focussed on what remains in my life during winter and celebrated all that I have rather than dwelling on what is gone. I remembered many wonderful times experiences and relationships from the past with family friends colleauges pets neighbours strangers as well as on my own.
I released old trauma and refocussed on how very fortunate I am. Everyday I have all that I need 💖. I was truly grateful for that this winter.
Thank you for prompting me to review and assess my winter. It was a genuinely helpful exercise ❤️
loooove this will definitely use these prompts ✨😌❤️
