May Journal Prompts for Growth

Happy May! I know it can feel hard to look ahead or dream right now… and that’s exactly why this month’s journal prompts are going to focus on that. To get through hard seasons of life, I always like to manifest a brighter, better future.

As you may know, I recently started a garden. I can’t help but think of all the applicable metaphors for this time of life. “You reap what you sow.” “What you focus on grows.” It’s been so rewarding to see the tiny little seeds I planted become full on plants with a little water, love and attention. I’m taking this slower season of life to plant the seeds (literally and figuratively!) for the future. Who’s in?
