Three Journal Prompts ✍️

🌊 Prompt #1: Shifting Shores

Reflect on a time when a significant change led to a shift in your sense of identity. What was the change, and how did it alter your perception of yourself?

🎭 Prompt #2: Roles That Shape Us

Consider the multitude of roles you've assumed in your life—be it as a family member, friend, professional, student, or any other. Some of these roles might have significantly influenced your sense of self and identity more than others. Reflect on which roles have left a profound mark on you. What were these roles, and why do you think they had such an impact?

🔍 Prompt #3: Future Self

Imagine yourself five years from now. What aspects of your identity do you see evolving? What steps can you take to nurture the growth of your future self?

Poem - Waters of Self

Beneath the surface, where the waters flow,

Lies the essence of being, the self we know.

Not static, not still, but ever in motion,

A river of identity, vast as the ocean.

From the roles we play to the paths we choose,

Our identity shifts, evolves, renews.

A journey not fixed, but fluid and wide,

With the power to decide, to change the tide.

So here's to the selves we've been and will be,

To the growth, the change, the vast sea of possibility.

For in the waters of self, we find our true might,

Embracing each wave, in the fluid dance of life.

This week, let's ponder the beauty of our evolving selves and the freedom that comes with the impermanence of identity.

Here's to embracing change and becoming who we wish to be, in every moment and every breath.

Warm regards,

Isabelle from ‘The Journal Prompt’ Team.
