"Philosophy, the occult, and mystical and metaphysical journal prompts have long played a role of interest for people in our society."
The essential questions of how life came to be on this earth, the meaning of our lives, and the mystery of death may be viewed through a metaphysical lens.
Finding a purpose for life and a deeper meaning to our existence has been a problem that philosophers, mystics, and metaphysicians have wrestled with for centuries.
Searching for answers to these kinds of questions can be facilitated by journaling. The prompts in this article cover a number of different topics.
This provides you with the choice to focus on a particular area of interest.
Join me as I explore mystical and metaphysical journal prompts.
Journal Prompts To Reflect On The Year
The end of a calendar year is a marvelous time for reflection and a valuable exercise.
Journaling provides a very helpful way to think about your journey over the last twelve months.
Reflecting on occurrences, our actions and reactions to situations, as well as our attitude and state of being, can lead to breakthroughs in understanding our nature and lead us to plan changes that will positively impact our lives.
Many of us take stock of where we are in our life journey at the conclusion of a year.
We ask ourselves if the year was positive overall. Did we stay true to our goals? Were there major things that happened which derailed our progress?
In looking back over the year, you may identify areas of your life that you wish to improve, like health and wellness or finances.
The aim of reflecting on the past year is to determine goals and intentions for the coming year, a year that focuses on self-acceptance and self-improvement.

Template Journal Prompts To Remember
How would you complete a sentence about yourself, your strengths, your skills, talents, knowledge?
Many of us get caught up in caring for others. Ask us how to complete a statement about our children or our partner and we would have no trouble at all highlighting their many gifts.
When it comes to ourselves, however, it is much more difficult.
We need to remember that we must love ourselves in order to love others fully.
Spending time considering and writing about the positives in ourselves is time very well spent.
Find a quiet corner, a few minutes to yourself, and write about you.

Journal Prompts For Self-Love
Self-love is at the core of our ability to live our lives to the fullest, and to interact with others and our world in a rich and fulfilling way.
Although it is incredibly important, many of us struggle to love ourselves. We are taught, from the time we are young, to show love toward others by caring for them.
After a while we can lose sight of who we are. Spending time journaling about self-love can help you to develop positive feelings about yourself.
I have found the prompts in this list to be highly beneficial in developing my love of self. I invite you to explore them, too.
