20 Daily Journal Prompts for Self-Awareness

A s an empath, I do pretty well at knowing how others feel. But discerning my own feelings can be difficult. The emotions of others can get so interspersed with my own that it feels like homogenized milk. The reason for this is because of extroverted feeling (Fe). Scott Morgan, INFJ YouTuber and certified MBTI practitioner, has the best explanation of Fe that I have found online. Here is the link to his video. One way I have improved this is through journaling. Here are 20 daily journal prompts that have helped me to distill my feelings. 1. What did I do well? 2. What made me laugh? 3.

I discovered it when I was doing research as a graduate student. I have always been underweight. When I was a toddler, the doctor told my mom to put cereal in a bottle for me to help me put on some pounds. When I was in middle school, I got called down to the school nurse’s office and questioned about my weight and eating habits. Looking back at my photos, I definitely looked anorexic. I started running in 6 th grade. I wasn’t good at sports but I could run so I signed up for track and then cross country. One season of high school cross country, instead of getting faster, I got slower. My cross country coach told our team about iron-deficiency anemia and how it affects running.
