It’s time for The End-of-the-Year Journaling Challenge. Get ready to reflect on 2023 and start setting some goals for 2023.
I’ve been hosting this challenge every December since 2019 and it’s truly one of my favorite things I do as a content creator. On a personal level, it always helps me hone in on what I want to focus on for the year ahead. I also absolutely love connecting with all of you as you go through the challenge as well.
Here’s how it works: Below are 31 journaling prompts. The idea is to answer one prompt every day in December. By the end of the month, you’ll feel focused and ready for the new year ahead.
I’ll be sharing daily reminders on Instagram all month with each prompt and the opportunity for you to share your answers too.
So, grab your journal and let’s get to it…
