Journaling is a great therapeutic and creative practice with many benefits for your overall well-being. It's perfect for relieving stress, managing your anxiety, and strengthening your imagination.

If you're feeling overwhelmed with life, or you're stuck in a creative rut this season, try journaling as a tool to reconnect with yourself, and become more in-tune with your emotions. Getting your feelings out on the page can help clear your mind and become more focused. 

This fall, I've curated 15 journal prompts as a way to help you kick-start your creativity. I hope these single-word prompts give you the inspiration to explore the themes of autumn in your own way.

What does each of these words make you think about as it pertains to the season? Maybe it makes you reflect on your favorite memory, or perhaps you want to combine prompts and make your own short story. The freedom to create is yours! These prompts are also not limited to just writing. Artists, feel free to use these ideas for your next sketchbook project or illustration idea.

Over the next few days make time to pick out your favorite journal, find a comfortable space, and let your creativity flow. If you're like me and don't prefer to write in complete silence all the time, check out my favorite Songs for Autumn Playlist for some laid-back background music.
