Attention all goddesses out there: are you ready to manifest abundance into your life? Do you want to let go of limiting beliefs and achieve financial freedom? If you’ve answered yes to both questions, then you’re in the right place. Today, I’m going to share with you some effective journal prompts for money mindset that can help you transform your relationship with money. So, grab your pen or laptop, and let’s dive in!
What is your current financial situation?
First, we need to define where we are at the moment. Financial awareness is crucial in setting financial goals. Take some time to examine your current financial situation. List down your income and expenses, assets, and liabilities. Be honest with yourself and do not judge. This journal prompt will give you a clearer picture of what you need to work on.
What are your limiting beliefs about money?
Limiting beliefs are the negative thoughts that we believe as true about money. We’ve heard the sayings, “Money is the root of all evil” or “I can never be wealthy because of my background”. These beliefs block us from manifesting abundance into our lives. Write your limiting beliefs and challenge them with positive affirmations.
What is your ideal financial situation?
We need to have a clear vision of what we are manifesting. In this journal prompt, write your financial goals and how you feel when you achieve them. Consider different aspects of your ideal financial situation – income, savings, business, and investments. Specify these aspects as much as you can. This journal prompt will give you the motivation to work towards your vision.
What is your attitude towards money?
Our attitude towards money shapes our relationship with it. Our words, thoughts, and actions determine how much money we will attract. In this journal prompt, reflect on your attitude towards money. Do you believe that money flows easily to you, or do you struggle to earn and keep it? Write your money affirmations and declare them every day.
What are you grateful for in terms of money?
Gratitude is a powerful force that attracts more abundance into our lives. In this journal prompt, write what you are grateful for in terms of money. Acknowledge your blessings and how they have contributed to your current financial situation. Expressing gratitude strengthens your relationship with money and opens the door for more opportunities.
And there you have it, my lovely ladies: the five journal prompts for money mindset that can help you shift your relationship with money. You have the power to manifest abundance into your life, but it starts with your mindset. Remember, it’s not about the amount of money you have, but your attitude towards it. Be conscious of your thoughts and beliefs about money, and use these journal prompts to transform them into positive ones. With a bit of patience, faith, and action, you’ll amaze yourself at how the universe will bless you with financial freedom.

GET OUT THAT NOTEBOOK, THAT LAPTOP, THAT VOICE RECORDER!
Reflect on Your Past Achievements and Challenges
The first step in goal-setting journal prompts is to reflect on your past achievements and challenges. This will help you identify your strengths and weaknesses and give you a better understanding of what motivates and demotivates you. Ask yourself the following questions:
What were your biggest achievements in life?
What were your biggest challenges, and how did you overcome them?
What are your top 3 strengths?
What are your top 3 weaknesses?
When do you feel most motivated?
When do you feel demotivated?
What are your biggest fears?
Determine Your Short-term and Long-term Goals
Once you’ve reflected on your past achievements and challenges, the next step is to determine your short-term and long-term goals. Your short-term goals should be achievable in the next 6-12 months, while your long-term goals should be achievable in the next 2-5 years. Ask yourself the following questions:
What are your goals for the next 6-12 months?
What are your goals for the next 2-5 years?
How can you achieve these goals in actionable steps?
How will you overcome the challenges you see down the road?
Break Down Your Goals into Actionable Steps
Setting goals is not enough. You need to break down your goals into actionable steps, which will create an actionable plan to follow. Ask yourself the following questions:
What are the necessary steps to achieve your short-term goals?
What are the necessary steps to achieve your long-term goals?
Are there resources needed to achieve your goals?
How will you overcome the potential obstacles?
Create a Timeline for Your Goals
A timeline can help you visualize your progress and stay on track. When creating a timeline, consider both your short-term and long-term goals. Ask yourself the following questions:
What is your deadline for achieving your short-term goals?
What is your deadline for achieving your long-term goals?
What milestones do you need to achieve in order to meet your deadlines?
What are the consequences of not meeting your deadlines?
Review and Evaluate Your Progress
The ultimate step in goal-setting journal prompts is to review and evaluate your progress. This will help you identify what’s working and what’s not. Ask yourself the following questions:
What progress have you made toward your goals?
How have you overcome the challenges you have faced?
What have you learned about yourself by working towards your goals?
Do you need to revise your goals or adjust your plan?
In this post, we’ve discussed how goal-setting journal prompts can help you achieve your dreams. By reflecting on your past achievements and challenges, determining your short-term and long-term goals, breaking down your goals into actionable steps, creating a timeline, and reviewing and evaluating your progress, you can make your dreams a reality. Remember, goal-setting is not a one-time process. It’s an ongoing journey that requires commitment, dedication, and hard work. But, with the help of goal-setting journal prompts, you can achieve anything you set your mind to.
Productivity Tips For New Small Businesses
You never know how starting an online business will truly be until you actually do it. Here’s some advice on how to handle running your business, equipped with tips and a free weekly reflection.
Overview
Hello, all! How are we doing? Need some productivity tips for your business?
Well, one way I keep myself motivated over the weekend is by journaling about the previous week, plus what I need to prepare for when the coming week arrives. It keeps me accountable for tasks I did/didn’t get done, as well as keeping me attuned to my hopes and drive for the future.
While I am a person who doesn’t necessarily thrive on lists, I do find them a requirement for work and school, and ESPECIALLY since starting my business. The reflection part naturally comes while journaling about my productivity, which is a super awesome bonus.
So take out a notebook, a sketch pad, or a laptop and get ready to journal! (Copy and paste the questions down below if you’d like, as well.)
JOURNAL MAP #1: END OF WEEK REFLECTION

Here’s a list of questions to ask yourself at the end of each week, specifically relating to your business:
If you could sum up the work week in one word (or image), what would it be? Simply think or write: how does seeing that word printed out make you feel?
Journal Sandwich! Stick anywhere on the paper.
Name one thing that went well.
Name one thing that didn’t go well.
Name one more thing that went well.
What was your most productive day? Do you understand why it was? Jot down a short paragraph.
What was your most relaxing day? Do you understand why it was? Jot down a short paragraph.
List all the tasks you completed. Don’t write out long sentences, just short and sweet bullet points.
Take a look at the list and all you accomplished. Well done! Give yourself a pat on the back.
For the next section, consider: are there over-arching goals you need to refresh yourself on? Devote ten minutes at least to thinking, journaling, and/or mind mapping the progress you’ve made concerning those goals this week. If it’s hard to stay focused, set a timer or play a song, then close your eyes to recenter your mind.
For the next section, consider: beyond work, how did you feel mental-health wise? For instance, if you were stressed, was work the reason, or was it something else? Is that stress going to continue into next week and you’ll have to adapt, or can you nip it in the bud over the weekend? Paragraphs, notes, or a mind map: this decision is up to you.
Sum up your mental health in one word, or one image.
At the end of the page or map, sum up this reflection in one word. Relate the word to the time you spent journaling, not the week. (ex: relaxing? worthwhile? overwhelming? messy? understandable?) productive?
Compare your one word (or image) for the week, your one word for mental health, and your one word for this reflection. How connected are they, if at all?
Consider drawing a connection between these three themes for the next week. You don’t have to write anything down unless you desire.
END. Draw a little heart and turn the page.
JOURNAL MAP #2: NEXT WEEK PROMISES

Here’s a list of prompts you can write about to help you start next week with a plan already set, specifically for your business:
List all the tasks you didn’t complete this past week. Keep it simple (bullet points, not paragraphs).
In the same list, jot your main tasks for the upcoming week.
Take a look and evaluate. Out of your list, what is the biggest priority for next week?
Write down your biggest priority and leave a little space underneath to journal, draw, or create a mind map based on the following questions:
If you haven’t already, describe this priority in one sentence.
List or describe the sections of work it will take to complete this task.
Based on the work needed, when can you expect to get this done?
Go back to the list of all tasks and repeat with the next biggest priority, and so forth.
Once you only have small or routine tasks on the list, simply determine when you could be able to complete them based on your timing for the big tasks. Calendar them in or post a sticky note somewhere for you to remember, but understand they are not your biggest focus for this coming week.
Now, close your eyes and take a second to visualize this week. Include everything: work, school, family, trips, nights out, carpooling, appointments, etc.
Can work be your personal biggest priority, or does it need to be something else? What are you going to do to make sure you don’t lose sight of that priority?
List the major priorities in order. Seeing them printed out, does it feel right to you? If not, re-arrange.
At the end of the page, sum up your reflection with one word (or image).
Think of a word to sum up how you want this coming week to end (ex: productive. simple. comfortable. challenging.).
Also, think of a word for how you would like to end the coming week mental-health wise (ex: happy. safe. assured. motivated. confident.).
Search for a connection between these three themes. Post the words somewhere where you will see and be reminded throughout the week.
END. Draw a little heart and close the journal.
HEY! WELL DONE! You made it to the end of the reflection. Pat yourself on the back, and decide (without thinking too hard) if you want to keep journaling for other reasons, or if you’re done for the day. If it helps, pick a piece of music or a quote for the start of next week that will motivate you, and stick it somewhere.
Then get off your computer! It’s time to relax, and let that productive mindset recharge itself.
