Many folks use the new year’s arrival as a portal to rediscover themselves. Sometimes, life has other plans for us and we lose sight of our intention because of our schedules and lack of time. Other times, anxiety and stress throw up detours and roadblocks, and we’re left wondering what the hell to do to continue fostering that desire for self-connection.

If you are looking for a new way to connect with yourself, check out The Belligerent Ginger’s Journal Prompts for a Cozier Mind Workbook.

Author Megan P. Shull’s collection of journal prompts is a great addition to both your writing and mental well-being toolboxes. When she experienced extremely difficult and life-changing mental health issues, which she candidly discusses in her book, she created journal prompts to help rewire her brain and to cope with her situation.

Her desire to help others led to creating this incredibly healing and wholesomely honest workbook of journal prompts that can help mend old wounds while serving as a vessel of self-compassion. Shull guides readers through the act of journaling and shares specific prompts she found helpful in reducing her own emotional distress. I admire the hell out of Shull for putting herself out there and creating something from her darkest days that can help others become a friend to themselves. Her workbook is jam-packed with poignant questions to spark reflections and suggested actions to complement conversations with one’s self in order to build a stronger relationship with the most important person we will ever encounter: ourselves.
