Journal Prompts For Navigating Transitions

We may find ourselves moving through cycles where we feel called to reflect. Whether we are experiencing a huge life change, dealing with difficult emotions, or just wanting clarity, journaling can be a powerful tool for naming what is coming up and finding our way to the other side. Here are some prompts to guide your process.
