18 Manifestation Writing Prompts You Need for Powerful Self Reflection

I can’t even count how many unfinished journals I’ve had in my life. I often used to get this sudden inspiration to make a perfect journal like all the ones I see on Pinterest with my pretty highlighters and perfect handwriting (hah I wish). But, honestly, I was trying too hard. Your writing is for you, not always for the world to see. I always thought I had to manifest and write about everything in my life and I quickly found myself bored. I know how difficult it can be to get in this new habit, so keep reading to see 18 manifestation writing prompts to get started!

Why and how to Start With These Manifestation writing prompts

Journaling isn’t necessarily writing about your entire day. It could be writing about something that’s been on your mind, something personal, or even just one sentence- ‘today was a good day’. Done. It can be whatever nonsense you want. That is the amazing thing about it- it’s almost like meditation because it’s a time of day when you can release your thoughts. Writing shouldn’t cause stress, they should ease it.

Your journal doesn’t need to be perfect. I tend to feel better when I am organized, so sometimes I’ll highlight notes, try to make my handwriting better, etc. But not everyone enjoys doing that and that is okay! The photos you see online, the photos you may even see here on my website are often staged. I may pick the best-looking page for a photo, but my entire journal does not look that way, in fact, it’s very messy. You don’t have to have fancy artwork in your journals, you don’t have to have your best handwriting. Just. Be. You.

Here are 18 Manifestation writing Prompts to Get you Started:

Now that we’ve established why to journal, it’s time to start. As difficult as it is, just starts. Write something, anything. Even if it’s only one sentence. And as promised, if you are still stumped…

  • Guided Manifestation Journal
  • Gratitude list
  • Letter to your younger self

I could go on and on but this would get really long. If none of these ideas feel right, there are hundreds and hundreds of journal prompts right at your fingertips on Pinterest!

  1. Hey Alessia, how are you?? 🙂 it was great to discover your blog and read this post 🙂 in my opinion, a journal should be a place where one can have fun sharing his ideas through texts and creativity 🙂 I agree with all the examples you gave and would like to add another good example of articles for a journal: literary texts, like short stories or even poems 🙂 have a great day, cheers from Portugal, PedroL

    1. Oh yes!! That is also a great example to add to the list! I can’t believe I didn’t think of that! Thank you! Have a great day as well!

  2. Alessia, I am SO proud of you! Your blog is amazing! I have found that when I journal everyday my mind feels more clear. Thank you for mentioning that your journal doesn’t have to be perfect and artsy. My brain dumps consist of no punctuation at all😂I can’t wait for your next blog post!
