I hope you are feeling excited about what you can accomplish this year! In the beginning of this year, I launched the campaign, Dream Big; taking your big goal for this year, challenging yourself and putting it out there for the world to see. We talked about what it means when you vocalize and write out that dream. The reality of it becoming true is clearer than when it stays locked in your mind. Your goal is forty percent more likely to occur because you write it down. That is pretty amazing! Get ready to take action, because in this post I will help you write out your goals with 15 journal prompts.
So as we head into the rest of this year, we need to create habits and patterns that will increase perseverance and drive. To keep your Dream Big momentum going, I will share with you my favorite journal prompts to create a continuous habit of writing out your plan.
Before we dive into the journal promts, I have a few helpful resources that you can grab from the blog and from the Free Printables page to get you Dreaming Big. If you read and get a head start on these four areas, daily journalling will solidify these tasks into habits.

The task list for the month of February features the Red Robin and a quote by Lou Holtz, “A bird doesn’t sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song.”
Journaling is an important habit to record your process through each step on your journey towards your goal. It is critical to write feelings, fears and successes in order to remind yourself of where you are and where you are headed.
Journal Prompts
To get you started with the habit of journalling, here are my favorite 15 journal prompts to get you motivated. Start with a small amount of time journalling, say 15 minutes, especially if you have not journalled before. Aim for three times a week or more and don’t be hard on yourself if you can only do once a week at first.

As a creative, do you struggle with confidence?
Even though I share a lot of freebies and tutorials, I held back for years sharing my creations because I feared failure. As creatives, you and I can be held back due to negative thinking. It might look like comparing your ability to others or not having the confidence to pursue your creative talent or putting your creations out into the world.
Is that you? Have you ever found it difficult to cope with imposter syndrome, your inner critic, fear of failure, perfectionistic tendencies, and being hesitant to share your work?
If your answer is yes, I have a Free resource for you. It’s just a click away!
