Kick off March Craft Month with Creative Journaling Prompts
Did you know March is craft month? We're starting off the month with some journaling prompts to get your creativity flowing. If you've started a journaling goal this month, but you're running out of steam after week one, here's 20 prompt ideas to get you through the rest of the March!
Write about any upcoming events, milestones, or celebrations you'll be participating in this month. Are you looking forward to them? Why or why not?
2. Senses of Spring
Write about the sights, smells, feelings, tastes, and sounds of spring
3. March 8th is International Woman's Day
Interview or write about a woman you know and admire - bonus: take a portrait of them and include a print with your entry.
4. Make a list of things you want to craft this month
Try to pick crafts with purpose. After you make a list, pick out 3 to 4 crafts to focus on and write about why you want to tackle them.
5. Someone new
Write about an encounter you had with someone you just met.
6. Write about a collection
Sometimes, we find that there's collections in our homes we never knew about. Do you have a growing number of coffee mugs from places you visit? What about an overcrowded shelf of books on gardening? Write about a collection you didn't purposely start. You'll be surprised to find out how much it means to you.
7. Try your hand at poetry
Take your writing from the "Senses of Spring" prompt and use it to help you pen a poem.
8. March 8th is International Woman's Day
Interview or write about a woman you know and admire
9. Day in the Life
Record your activities from the time you woke up to the time you went to bed in hour increments.
10. Photo Prompt
Find a photo around the house of someone you know and write about them or the day the photograph was taken
11. How do you Relax?
Write about your ideal form of relaxation and why it helps you. After writing, go relax (or make a plan to)!
12. Secret
Write about a secret you're keeping for yourself or someone else. How does it make you feel to keep it secret? Do you plan on revealing it to someone soon?
13. Hope
Write about a day or moment in your life where you were hopeful
14. Introvert or Extrovert?
What is it about yourself that puts you in one of these categories?
15 March 20th is Earth Day
Do something to celebrate and tell the story in photographs
16. Craft with Purpose
Do a craft that you can gift to someone to show you were thinking of them; write about what you crafted, who you chose to give it to, and why.
17. The clock is Ticking
Whether you're worried you won't have kids, or if you're running out of time to reach your career goals, right about the time constraints that are currently stressing you out.
18. Photo Prompt
Find a photo of yourself and write about the day the photo was taken.
19. Celebrate the Ordinary
We live in a world where standing out and rising above is celebrated; but sometimes 'ordinary' can be appreciated. Write about the benefits of incorporating a little bit of ordinary in your life.
20. Write about your goals for April
Before March is completely over, write about the things you want to accomplish in April. Bonus: These goals can be journal entries for the month.
