31 Days of Journal Prompts for Moms

Journaling… this word has so much power. For many of us it brings fond memories and a way to process, de-stress, recharge. For others, it fills them with anxiety, stress, and pressure to perform. Challenges like this one can seem daunting and overwhelming if you suffer from writer’s block or what I like to refer to as “mom chaos” where you are just too busy to commit to something of this magnitude. But THIS is a different challenge. This challenge is specifically for moms and there is no pressure. It is designed to be as light and funny as you need it to be or as serious and deep as your mind wants to take it. The prompts are light, meaning they aren’t specific, in fact, I use popular parenting hashtags! This is a fun way of a) getting inspiration on Instagram (just search the hashtag and you’ll have tons of ideas) and b) us sharing our hashtags with our journal entry for the day to find it. It also is somewhat vague which (hopefully) inspires you but doesn’t lock you in to a specific thought pattern.

How to use these journal prompts

It really is one of the simplest challenges you will come across, all you need to do is take the hashtag for the day, consider what that inspires in you or what idea or thought comes to mind, and start writing. IF you are suffering from writer’s block or just can’t think of a memory (happens to me ALL. THE. TIME when I’m put on the spot) then I want you to head over to Instagram and search the hashtag. Seeing other people’s funny moments or sweet moments or hard moments are going to give you TONS of ideas, and that is exactly why I set it up this way! You are going to be learning some new hashtags to use, finding inspiration, and finding a new community of moms in the process!

Once you have your idea, just write. If it helps you, set a timer. The goal is not to fill a huge page or 2 pages, the goal is just to write for what you feel comfortable. These hashtags are very broad, for example #momlife could be something funny, something mundane and regular, or something serious. You can do with this challenge whatever you are moved to do! You do not have to share! If you aren’t comfortable sharing on Instagram (journaling can be very personal!) you can share a picture that is slightly blurred or even just a pic of you writing, or nothing at all. This challenge is not about “keeping up” or “posting regularly”. The goal here is to write together and encourage and support each other through our journeys!
