Six Journal Prompts to Get Closer to Your Most Abundant Life

By Erin Daugherty

 

Every day is a new opportunity to create a beautiful, abundant life for yourself. 

Journaling is one of my favorite ways to take advantage of the day by being present with myself in order to best navigate and support my current energy. Today we are going to explore journaling for abundance, followed by six journal prompts that you are invited to reflect on.

Sometimes journaling is for venting and releasing emotions. Other times, journaling is for setting intentions and envisioning your future. Some days you might prefer loose journaling sessions - not structure, just letting your thoughts flow. Other days you might feel called to have a little more direction in your journaling session by completing a prompt or exercise. 

Whatever your journaling practice is, simply opening a notebook and jotting down some thoughts is more powerful than you think. When we are writing, we can't think one thing and write another. This is what makes it such a powerful tool for manifesting, doing shadow work, and conversing with your inner self. The truth comes to light when the pen takes to paper. 

Journaling for abundance can explore any number of sub-topics. You might want to explore your perception of abundance, what it means, and how it feels to be experienced. What does an abundant life look like to you?

Once you have an idea of what abundance you would like to experience, you can begin looking at how you can get into alignment with those experiences. 

Living an abundant life often starts with having the bare minimums, and that is perfectly valid. Abundance does not need to be flashy and extravagant. Many of us desire simple, healthy, connected, loving lives.

As you are journaling about abundance, try to make notice of anything you are already close to achieving. Abundance is not all or nothing. There might be times we are more abundant in some areas of our lives than others.

Consider how closely your idea of abundance is attached to money, and how abundance can be experienced elsewhere. It can be experienced in having a healthy body, supportive friendships, a plentiful garden, a beautiful home, and a grounding relationship with the self. Of course, do not ignore the relationship between abundance and money. 

Many of us have money wounds and money trauma that influences our relationship with abundance. So in order to achieve abundance, you must also work on healing your money wounds. 

It is human nature to find abundance in the little things. Journaling invites you to come back to yourself, and abundance invites you to recognize all of the ways in which you have everything you need.

Below are some entry-level journal prompts to begin your abundance journaling journey, and support you in opening inner conversations surrounding your relationship with abundance... and money. 

I recommend spending five to ten minutes answering each question. Write down whatever first comes to your mind, and flow from there. If there are any realizations that come forth, feel free to expand on them.

You even might want to return to these prompts in six months or a year from now to see your progress and how your relationship with abundance has changed.

 

 

When you are completing these journal prompts, try not to do them all in one sitting or in one day. Space them out daily or every other day so you may have the full attention and energy to reflect on them in complete honesty. 

For question two, I recommend writing about a day in your most financially free life in present tense. Start from when you first wake up and continue through at least half of the day. Write about how this life feels, smells, sounds, and tastes. Involving your senses will complete the envision and support your attachment to making it come true.

And of course, remember to be honest with yourself. Some of these questions might be difficult to answer, but there is power in telling the truth. In order to make positive changes, we must first recognize where they are necessary. Your journal is only for you, so it's a safe space to sort through some emotions and "issues."

As you continue in your journaling journey, you will find that some things work for you, and some things don't. The best thing about journaling is there's no rules. You can burn the pieces of paper with these answers afterwards, and that might actually be a good thing.

I hope you find peace and a deeper connection to your natural worthiness of abundance through these abundance journaling prompts.

Thank you for joining me on this journey.
