Inspiring December Journal Prompts To Embrace Holiday Magic
Let’s talk about December journal prompts…
As December arrives, it brings forth a season of reflection, gratitude, and a touch of winter wonder. December really brings out my sentimentality, and the hope that, as The Counting Crows sang, “maybe this year will be better than the last”. For my fellow women over forty also seeking moments of introspection and mindfulness, journaling can be a powerful tool. It allows for self-discovery, clarity, and an opportunity to embrace the unique essence of the holiday season. I’m trying to make time for my own personal journaling this month, and I figured some of you might be too, so I’m sharing my December journaling prompts. These prompts are tailored for this special time of year, combining reflections on the past year, the spirit of the holidays, and a little winter magic. Grab your pens and cute notebooks!
