I don’t know about you, but the New Year is without a doubt my favorite time to journal.
It’s the perfect opportunity to reflect on the past year and plan for the year ahead.
For the past seven years, I’ve been using journal prompts to guide my New Year reflections, and they’ve been a game-changer. These prompts have helped me learn from past mistakes, celebrate wins, achieve goals, make intentional decisions, and so much more.
In this blog post, I’ll share my 29 favorite New Year prompts to help you reflect on 2024 and prepare for an amazing 2025 ✨.
Some of these prompts are inspired by Lavendaire, who has shared incredible journaling ideas in her YouTube videos. Prompts marked with “🌸” credit her thoughtful contributions.
This exercise is sacred, so I recommend setting aside time when you can be in a peaceful and relaxed state of mind.
Declutter your space, light a candle, and make yourself cozy—perhaps with a comforting cup of coffee or tea 😉.
Enjoy ♡
