5-Minute Mindfulness: Journal Prompts to Feel Refreshed and Grounded

We know how full life can feel, especially during this time of year. Between long to-do lists, festive plans, and the everyday demands of life, it can be easy to let moments for yourself slide. We feel it too—balancing everything is no small task.

That’s why we’re big believers in taking just five minutes to pause and check in. Mindfulness journaling doesn’t require much—just a pen, some paper, and a few moments to slow down and breathe. These simple prompts are designed to help you feel refreshed and grounded, creating space to reconnect with yourself and the present moment. 

Whether you’re journaling first thing in the morning, in the middle of the day, or just before bed, they’re a gentle reminder to prioritise your wellbeing—something we’re always working on too.

The Prompts

1. What’s one thing you’re grateful for today?
2. What do you need most right now?
3. What’s one moment from today (or yesterday) that made you smile?
4. What’s one thing you can let go of today?
5. What’s one thing you want to carry into tomorrow?

Even during the busiest days, taking five minutes for yourself can shift your perspective and leave you feeling more refreshed and connected. So take a breath, pick up your pen, and see where it takes you.
