In this first entry for our new journalling prompts section, we suggest you reflect on what you are looking forward to – both soon and much further down the road.
This is an 8-in-1 journalling idea. You could reflect upon what you are looking forward to over 8 different time scales, which gives you future opportunities to explore how expectation and reality compare.
- Today
- Tomorrow
- This week
- This month
- Next month
- This year
- Next Year
- Further into the future
Of course, it wouldn’t be a muse prompt without a mood board of images to inspire our visual thinkers.
We generally source our images from royalty-free collections with a “help yourself and use as you wish” policy. Mostly pixabay.com. This means you should feel free to use these images if they help you.
