How to Use These June Journal Prompts Effectively

These June journal prompts offer you self-reflection without getting too deep. The goal of these prompts is to help you gain general self-awareness of your thoughts and feelings around this time of year. You’re also encouraged to plan out your goals and intentions to best maximize your fulfillment out of June and the summer time!

Follow these tips to get the most out of these June journal prompts:

Think ahead. Ask yourself when June 30th rolls around, how would you like to look back on the month? What would you be happy to see yourself do? Would you be disappointed if you overworked yourself? These are all great questions to consider as you go through these June journal prompts.
Set a timer and just write. Staring at a blank page for what feels like forever only makes journaling intimidating! The easiest thing to do is just start. Setting a timer can help push you into the writing groove. You can start with just 10 minutes!
Write freely and don’t judge yourself. This is super important and can also be a big hindrance to writing. Don’t think too hard about how your writing sounds or how things are flowing. What’s more important is getting the thoughts out of your head and onto paper.
Be sure to reflect and review! Make a note in your calendar right now to check back in at the end of June. Read your journal prompt responses from the beginning of June and reflect on how you thought June would play out vs. how it really played out.

All in all, go into your June journal prompts with a lens of self-discovery in mind and have fun with it! These prompts are on the lighter side compared to some of my deeper mental health based journal prompts, so kick back and enjoy yourself as you write.

Happy June!
