Journaling prompt: Looking back to 2024 and personal goals for 2025

I find journaling a comfortable way to reflect on my day and to connect with my feelings and emotions. On the day-to-day, we may express our happiness or frustrations, but often times, addressing the event may not mean addressing the emotions associated with it.

Journaling can be a great way to give more space for ourselves and write thoughts and feelings out. Believe it or not, for many introverts writing is just a really good way to express themselves.

Looking back and personal goals for 2025

As the year is coming to an end and as we slow down during the holidays, it is a great moment to reflect on the year behind us and make plans for the year ahead. As an Introvert, the ability to reflect is something that comes rather naturally for many of us. Another typical introverted trait of ours is perseverance which is helpful to create clarity of what we want to achieve and keep going despite any hurdles.

This time, I invite you to find a peaceful place, get a nice warm drink, grab a (digital) pen and paper and start reflecting:

• Looking back at 2024, what do you consider the highlights of your year? (Extra tip: take your photos app and watch your photo collection of the year for some inspiration)

• What is one thing that didn't quite go as you had hoped? How do you feel about it?

• Looking forward to 2025, what are three of your main goals for the year?

• What could be the first steps you can take to move towards achieving these goals?

Hope you are enjoying the journaling and get some valuable insights out of it. Feel free to share your thoughts and experiences in the comments.
