Your spirit is just as important as your mind and body, and it forms your beliefs around the things that really matter. While some people are born with a strong sense of spiritual self, for others, their beliefs are formed through their life experiences.
Your spiritual self is ever-changing as you wander down the path of life and there may be topics of spirituality that you might have never considered before that could shape your entire identity, which is the purpose of these journal prompts for spirituality.
When you think of spirituality, the first word that comes to most people’s minds is religion, but while spirituality can encompass religious beliefs, it doesn’t have to.
You can be spiritual without believing in God or following the word of any religious scripture. Your spirituality is more closely linked with your views of the world and the divine and encompasses your own joy, happiness, and purpose.
These spirituality journal prompts ask the big questions. From God and the Universe to your higher self, manifestation and death. We cover topics that make you think and encourage you to unearth and explore beliefs that you didn’t know were inside of you.
