Journaling Prompts for Sunday Reflection: Set Intentions & Reflect for a Better Week Ahead

Hey loves! 💫

Let’s talk about Sundays—the perfect day to slow down, reflect, and get your mind right for the week ahead. One of my favorite self-care rituals is Sunday journaling. It’s a chance to check in with myself, let go of any lingering stress, and set positive intentions for the upcoming week. ✍🏽

If you’re new to journaling or just need a little inspiration to switch things up, I’ve got you! These journal prompts are all about self-reflection, gratitude, and planning for a week filled with positive energy and growth.

Let’s dive into these prompts and start turning our Sundays into moments of self-discovery and intention-setting!

1. Reflect on the Past Week

Before jumping into the new week, take a moment to reflect on the week that’s just passed. This helps you learn from your experiences, celebrate your wins, and identify areas where you want to grow.

• What were your biggest wins this week?
  Celebrate the moments—big or small—that made you feel proud, accomplished, or joyful.

• What challenges did you face, and how did you handle them?
  Be honest with yourself. Did you handle those challenges the way you wanted to? What could you do differently next time?

• What lessons did you learn from this week’s experiences?
  Reflect on any insights or lessons that came out of this week. Sometimes the tough moments are the ones that teach us the most.

• What are three things you’re grateful for this week?
  Gratitude is everything. Taking time to appreciate the little things can shift your mindset in a powerful way.

2. Set Intentions for the New Week

Now that you’ve reflected on the past, it’s time to look ahead and set some positive intentions for the week. This is your opportunity to decide how you want the next seven days to unfold.

• What’s one thing you’d like to focus on this week?
  Maybe it’s self-care, being more productive, or nurturing your relationships. Choose one area of your life to give a little extra love this week.

• How can you take better care of yourself this week?
  Whether it’s through rest, movement, or setting boundaries, think about what you need to feel your best.

• What mindset will you carry into the new week?
  Are you aiming for positivity, resilience, or patience? Set a clear intention for how you want to show up mentally and emotionally.

• What is one small action you can take each day to move toward your goals?
  Break down your bigger goals into bite-sized steps. What’s something you can do every day this week to bring you closer to where you want to be?

3. Release What No Longer Serves You

Sometimes we carry unnecessary weight from week to week without even realizing it. Sunday is the perfect time to release those burdens and start fresh.

• What’s one habit or thought pattern you want to let go of?
  Identify any negative habits or thoughts that are holding you back and commit to releasing them.

• What are you currently worrying about, and how can you release that worry?
  We often worry about things that are outside of our control. Write it down, acknowledge it, and then let it go.

• Who or what do you need to forgive to move forward?
  Whether it’s forgiving someone else or yourself, think about how you can let go of any resentment or guilt that’s weighing you down.

4. Embrace Gratitude & Abundance

Gratitude helps us see the beauty in the present moment and opens us up to more abundance. It’s a powerful practice for bringing more joy and positivity into your life.

• What are five things you’re grateful for right now?
  Take a moment to acknowledge the blessings in your life, no matter how small they may seem.

• How has abundance shown up in your life this week?
  Reflect on the ways abundance—whether in the form of love, opportunities, or experiences—has flowed into your life.

• What’s something you’ve been taking for granted that you can appreciate more?
  We all have things in our lives that we overlook. This prompt helps you shine a light on those things and appreciate them fully.

5. Manifest Your Desires

Journaling is a powerful tool for manifesting your desires. Use these prompts to tap into your dreams and start aligning with the life you want to create.

• What do you want to manifest this week?
  Be specific and intentional about what you’re calling into your life this week—whether it’s a new opportunity, better health, or inner peace.

• How will you feel when you’ve achieved your goals?
  Write down how you’ll feel once you’ve manifested what you desire. This helps you connect to the emotions and energy of already having it.

• What are you grateful for that hasn’t happened yet?
  Write about your desires as if they’ve already come true. Gratitude is the key to attracting more of what you want!
