Journaling Prompts for Fall
There is something about the Fall season that seems to bring about feelings of routine and reflection. Maybe it’s the back-to-school feeling we never quite lose, the colder weather having us slow down, or being aware that the calendar year is coming to a close. No matter what it is for you, know that you are not alone and that this time of year can have an impact on your mood.
To support you through these feelings and the sense of transition, we’ve got some journal prompts to help you reflect on what you might be experiencing and support you through it. Feel free to answer one or all of these in the way you enjoy journaling. That could look like full paragraphs, a few bullets, or even key words on a page with your doodling. There is no wrong way!
- What are some of your memories around Fall? How do they make you feel?
- What have you done in the past—hay rides, reading a scary Halloween book, baking with apples—that you’d like to try and do again this Fall?
- What is something you’re looking forward to this season? Consider your senses! What sights, sounds, even smells come up specifically at this time of year that you want to incorporate into your life?
- How can you make your environment cozy and inviting as temperatures drop and the sun sets earlier? This could be everything from a plant on your desk at work, investing in some soft pajamas, or buying a sunrise lamp!
- What experiences over the Summer made you feel positive, loved, taken care of? What can you add to your Fall routine that will create these feelings again for you (they could be the same things or totally different!).
