Why Prompts?

Sometimes the hardest part of reflection is knowing where to begin. Prompts are not assignments — they’re invitations. They give you a doorway to step through, whether you want to write, sketch, meditate, or simply sit with the thought.

These prompts are gentle sparks meant to stir your chaos, help you breathe with it, and discover the courage hidden inside it.

How to Use Them

  • Write: Journal freely, no editing or censoring yourself.

  • Create: Sketch, paint, or collage in response to what rises.

  • Speak: Record yourself talking it out — let your voice carry your truth.

  • Reflect: Sit with the question and let the silence be your answer.

There is no right or wrong way. Only your way.

A Gentle Reminder

You don’t have to finish every prompt. You don’t have to make it pretty. Healing and creativity are about presence, not perfection.

15 Creative Prompts

  1. The Room Inside: Imagine your mind as a room. What’s in it right now? What would you like to leave or bring in?

  2. Letter to Yourself: Write a letter to the “you” from five years ago, or five years in the future. What do they need to hear?

  3. Chaos Map: Draw or describe the areas of your life that feel messy or tangled. Where is the beauty hiding inside them?

  4. Soundtrack of Today: If today had a theme song, what would it be? Why?

  5. Unspoken Words: Write down everything you wish you could say but haven’t — to someone else, or even to yourself.

  6. Body as Canvas: Check in with your body. Where do you feel tension, joy, or longing? Paint, sketch, or write what it tells you.

  7. Fear Letter: Write to your fear as if it were a person. What would you say? What do you need from it?

  8. Small Joys List: List ten tiny things that made you smile in the past week — even if it was just for a moment.

  11. Messy Gratitude: Name three things you’re grateful for that also feel complicated or imperfect.

  12. Object Story: Pick an object nearby. What story does it tell about you or your life right now?

  15. Future Self Check-In: Close your eyes and imagine yourself one year from now. What does that version of you look like? What advice or encouragement do they offer today?
