This journaling post is here to give you 12 prompts that will guide you into HER. She is the woman that you KNOW you were created to be. Each journal prompt will inch you closer and closer to HER, allowing you to shed the old you and create the new you that you (and your higher self) desire.
Shedding your old habits and creating new ones isn’t about becoming a completely new person. It’s about allowing the best version of you to evolve. We often hold onto fears, judgments, and self-condemnation that keep us from truly recognizing who we are. Journaling is one of the best ways to let all of that fog up… melt away.
Journaling has been studied by psychologists to better determine why expressive writing allows us to feel clearer and more connected to ourselves. One study done by the University of Texas stated, “Writing about one’s thoughts and feelings has been shown to help people organize their thoughts, reduce stress, and may even provide insight into personality.” Not only are you journaling about how you feel in the present moment, but you can also use journaling to design your future self and write out exactly what kind of life you want.
1. 12 Journal Prompts to Help You Become HER

2. What habits does she already have that you want to implement into your daily routine?
You are what you repeatedly do. Who is she daily? What are her habits? Write about how her daily habits compare to yours. This will allow you to see what small habits you can start implementing into your own routine.
3. What fears are stopping you from becoming HER and how can you release them?
Fear is the number one thing that keeps us from evolving into our best selves. What fears (failure, being judged, change) are you hiding behind that are keeping you from her? Place your fears into words and watch them lose their power over you.

4. What type of environment does she surround herself with? How can you start creating that type of environment today?
The space you surround yourself in mentally and physically can really impact how you feel. When you think of HER, what type of environment is she around? Is it quiet? Creative? Clean? Write out small ways that you can start to incorporate that type of environment into your day.
5. What relationships does she value that allow her to grow? What relationships does she limit that no longer serve her?
The people you allow in your life should mirror how far you’ve grown. Who does SHE allow in her life that helps her grow? Who does she distance herself from that no longer serves her? Writing this out allows you to visualize the relationships that you need to work on and end.
6. How does she speak to herself when she makes a mistake?
Watch your self-talk when you fck up. Are you kind to yourself or full of sht? Write out how HER would react if she made the same mistake.

7. What does HER perfect day look like?
Give her perfect day-to-day. What does she do when she wakes up? What does her afternoon look like? How does she rest at night? Remember, this isn’t fantasy. This is clarity. Write out exactly how her day goes and use that as a template to shape your own.
8. What kind of boundaries does she set for herself?
HER isn’t nice to everyone, all of the time. SHE sets boundaries. Write out what boundaries she sets for herself and start to think of ways that you can start setting them too.
9. What does she do that she loves? What passions or purposes does she pursue?
She doesn’t half-ass herself. Write out all the things that she loves to do. What calls to her? What hobbies does she pursue? What does she dream of doing? Writing this out will help you identify what you may be doubting yourself from doing and allow you to give yourself permission to do it.
10. How does she react when life throws her curveballs?
Life is going to test you, but know that she embraces the tests. How does she react when something doesn’t go her way? Write out her actions when faced with conflict and use that as guidance for the next time you’re feeling challenged.
11. What kind of legacy does she want to leave?
Becoming HER isn’t about today. It’s about her future and what she wants to leave behind. Write out what kind of impact she wants to leave on the world, her loved ones, and herself. When you write your why down, it allows you to really give meaning to the steps you’re taking today.
12. What can you do TODAY to be more like HER?
Change isn’t something you’ll magically wake up tomorrow and become. Change starts now. Finish your journal entry by writing one small thing that you can do today to become more like HER.
How Journaling Allows You to Connect With YOUR Future Self
Each time you journal, you aren’t just writing down your thoughts—you are allowing yourself to speak to your future self. The more you journal your way into becoming HER, the less foggy you’ll feel. Each session peels back a layer of uncertainty.
Studies have shown that journaling can help with mental health, decrease anxiety, and help you better self-regulate (source). But more than that, journaling allows you to see yourself becoming. When you look back on old entries, you’ll see how far you’ve come. And that, right there, is the magic of journaling.
Final Thoughts
Becoming HER isn’t about trying to become someone you’re not. It’s about aligning yourself with who you were meant to be. Journaling is allowing you to meet HER in the present day. Journaling allows you to speak to HER, learn from HER, and slowly mold your life into something that matches hers.
Each of these journal prompts is here to encourage you to step into HER. Stop looking at HER as if she’s somebody else. She is you, and you are her.
Keep this in mind when journaling your way into becoming THE BEST VERSION OF YOURSELF:
She isn’t waiting for you in the future. She’s right here, in the present. The more you journal, the more you’ll realize that you ARE HER.
