100 Journaling Prompts To Grow Your Coaching Business
Often, the greatest source of inspiration, insights and wisdom come from within. Free-writing or journaling as it's often referred to is a great way of accessing what we already, often subconsiously know.
Feel free to pick and choose from these journaling prompts to explore and reflect upon various aspects of growing your coaching business.
Pick a question or intention for your journaling session, write it down, then write whatever you hear yourself saying/thinking. Capture your stream of consciousness. As you write, initally you'll probably hear (and be writing down) a lot of 'stuff' that might not feel so helpful or relevant, but stick with it. After a while, you'll begin to get glimpses of answers and insights that feel useful.
Journaling is a bit like going to the gym, the more you practice the easier it will get and the more positive outcomes you'll witness over time. Little and often is best. Personally, I love Julia Cameron's approach called the Morning Pages, from The Artist's Way, where you write to fill 3 large pages first thing in the morning (before our monkey brain has had too much chance to wake up and get too noisy!).
Remember, journaling is a powerful tool for self-discovery, clarity, and personal growth. Here is a blended list of both practical and inspirational jouranaling prompts to help you get started...take your pick or create your own versions:
