Can you believe it’s fall already? Between shuffling the kids to camp, going to work, and trying to squeeze in a little fun, the summer really flew by. 

Autumn feels like the perfect time to slow down, reflect, and focus on personal growth. Some folks like to bring the season in with a pumpkin spice latte, I like to bring it in with fall-themed journal prompts. 

As the leaves change color, I start transitioning my routines and my mindset in preparation for winding up, and then down, for the new year.  

I put together these journal prompts to help you nourish your spirit during this seasonal shift.

They’ll get you thinking about the things that matter to you, encourage time for self-care, and help you stay grounded even if things start to feel overwhelming.

Use these prompts as daily inspiration to become your best, most centered self.

This time of year is ideal for switching up your habits and mindset. Out with the old, in with the new!

Here are some fall-themed journal prompts to guide you:

1. What are 3 core values that you have to help you navigate life?
