May Journal Prompts
The bullet journal inspiration posts I share are always super popular. But of course bullet journals aren’t just for weekly spreads and trackers.
After quite a few reader requests it seems it’s time to put the “journal” into bullet journalling.
If you struggle with staring at a blank page and trying to figure out what to write about then journal prompts can help you. So today I’m sharing 31 May journalling prompts to inspire you.
You can use them to help you journal every day during May, or you can just pick and choose the ones that make you think.
