end of the month journal prompts

As we say goodbye to September, the end of another month brings an invitation to think about successes, challenges, lessons learned, what you’re carrying forward, and what you’re leaving behind.

Here are some journal prompts I’m using that will help me think about my goals, habits, what I want more of, and what I am looking forward to in the month ahead:

~What did I learn about myself this month?

~What am I proud of that I didn’t celebrate enough?

~What did I outgrow? (These might be routines, habits, beliefs, relationships…)

~What surprised me most about September? (These could be positive surprises or challenging ones) What did these surprises teach me?

~What was the biggest lesson of this month?

~What do I want more of in October?

~What is one bold move I want to make next month or as we wrap up 2026?

~What support systems do I need to build or strengthen in October?

~What am I willing to release or leave behind before October begins?

~How can I show up for myself this month in a way that helps sets the tone for the year?

~What small routines or habits do I want to start in October?

Do you do an end of month reflection?
