Creative Journaling
Journal Sparkers

Where to begin?
Just jump right in.
Write till you’re done!
You’ll see. It’s fun!
 

  • Describe an event, aspect, memory, situation etc. of your life as if you lived in a parallel universe where everything was opposite to this universe.  Sad times are happy times, Roadblocks are opportunities, 

  • Pretend you are the opposite sex. Write down what your life’s goals would be.

  • Have a dialogue with a body part.

  • Write your own prayer.  Write the answer to the prayer.

  • Pretend you are 6 inches tall. Describe what you see, where you’d go, Where would you  live? How do you feel?

  • If you could fly where would you go? Where would you live?  How would it feel?

  • Write yourself an anonymous love letter. . . and send it.

  • Rewrite the story of Cinderella, casting yourself, family, friends, colleagues or acquaintances in the roles.

  • Imagine that you are the bravest person in the entire world. Write about the things that you would do that you are not doing now.

  • Write down 3 wishes. Pretend you are a discriminating genie – what 2 wishes would you grant ? Which wish wouldn’t you grant? Why?

  • Write down a problem or concern. How would superman solve it? What advice would ________ give about it? How would Judge Judy rule on it?

  • If you had an identical twin describe how you both are alike, how your twin is different from you. What you think and feel about the similarities and differences. Imagine you have a tiny devil sitting on one shoulder and a tiny angel sitting on the other shoulder. What does each whisper in your ear about family, friends, work, play, food? What do you respond to each of them?
