Starting your morning off in a positive way can make all the difference. In fact, I’m of the opinion that utilizing morning writing prompts is one of the best ways to inspire a great day. When I listened to Abraham Hicks last week, and he told me that “You are in pure positive energy every moment that you are asleep,” I immediately wrote the post, The Power of Positive Thoughts in the Morning. It included 30-morning affirmations you can choose from to keep the positive energy flowing. But I feel like there is more you can do. So today, I am providing you 20 morning writing prompts to keep the positive momentum going.
To motivate you, here are a few reasons to start writing in your journal every morning:
- Your mind is clear and flowing with positive energy. Take advantage of that and write some of the positive intuition and messages down.
- If you journal before you check your phone or social media, you can focus on what you want. Not what you should be doing or how to do something better than others. Journaling is a way to tap into your own creative mind.
- When you repeatedly do something, it becomes a habit. In this case, a positive habit that can change the momentum of your days.
- If you get up early enough, you can take advantage of the quiet before the routine of your day has to start—schedule time when you will have no distractions.
- The more you write about what you love and what makes you happy, the more things that you love and make you happy will show up in your life. It’s the Law of Attraction!
- The key to creating your best life is to be clear on what you desire. Journaling can help you find that clarity.
OK, now that you know the benefits to journal writing, here are some morning writing prompts to get you started.
Just pick one each day. Notice which one triggers a response when you read it. What is your intuition nudging you to write about?
