Journaling to Change Direction
-
Identify your purpose with Ikigai
Having a sense of purpose leads to a happier, more fulfilling life, helping us navigate challenges. Yet, many of us struggle to find it, often waiting for it to magically appear.
Instead, shift your mindset: with the right tools, such as Ikigai—a Japanese concept—you can actively discover your purpose. This exercise will explore how.

Design your New Year Identity
When it comes to New Year’s resolutions, we often focus on specific goals—“run a marathon,” “lose 10 kilos,” or “save a certain amount of money.” But there’s a more powerful approach: identity-based change. By deciding who you want to be first (“I am a runner”), and then adopting small habits that align with that identity, you naturally achieve the outcomes you seek over time.
-
Creating Habits That Stick
Have you ever set an ambitious goal—like running a marathon or saving a certain amount of money—only to lose steam when motivation wanes? According to James Clear, author of Atomic Habits, success isn’t about willpower alone; it’s about building systems that make it easier to perform the actions that lead to your goals. When your habits are attractive, easy, and satisfying, you naturally stick to them and see results.

Uncover the Dream Within
Many of us carry quiet, unspoken dreams—ideas we mention in passing but never fully acknowledge. This exercise helps you uncover the dream that speaks to your “deep heart’s core.” Through guided prompts, you’ll explore what truly calls to you, describe your dream in vivid detail, and take the first steps toward making it real.

Journaling for Self-Improvement
-
Your beliefs and why they matter
Ever noticed how after buying a new car, you see that model everywhere? It’s not more cars—it’s your brain tuned to notice them.
Similarly, our beliefs, often formed in childhood, shape how we see the world. This "confirmation bias" means that if we believe the world is dangerous, we’ll spot signs that confirm it.
Becoming aware of our beliefs—and adjusting those that don’t serve us—can help us see the world in a way that aligns with who we want to be. This exercise will help you start.

Expand Your Life: Embrace the Stretch Zone
Some of the most fulfilling moments in life often stem from actions that felt terrifying at first—whether it was asking someone out, applying for a dream job, or starting a new hobby.
While we’re naturally wired to seek comfort, true growth happens when we challenge ourselves and step beyond the familiar.
This exercise will help you reflect on your comfort zone, identify stretch-zone opportunities, and build a roadmap to a richer life.

Journaling to Process Difficult Situations & Emotions

Turn your past regrets into future dreams
We hear often to avoid dwelling on regrets, lest it prevent us from living a fulfilling life. But what if regrets had an important message for us ?
This journaling prompt exercise will help you reflect on the meaning, the values behind a regret that you hold, to turn it into action.
-
Reframe a difficult experience
Journaling has powerful benefits when it comes to reflecting on difficult situations: a break-up, a fight with a friend, a dream job that didn't come to pass,...
Whilst reflecting on negative emotions is valuable, it's also important to find time to bring comfort to yourself: seeking the lessons you learned, taking ownership for your actions, and being kind to yourself.
This exercise will help you to view a difficult past experience in a different light.
-
A letter you'll never send
Expressing unspoken feelings can be liberating, yet there are times when sharing them directly isn’t possible.
This journaling exercise provides a safe, private space to let out what’s on your heart—whether it’s love, regret, anger, or unspoken words—so you can move forward with clarity and peace.
