2025 Journal Reflection Prompts

Reflecting Back to Reset Forward: Preparing for a Nourished, Aligned (and Slightly Less Chaotic) 2026

As 2025 comes to an end, many of us find ourselves doing that familiar thing where we stare into space and wonder:

“Wait… what even happened this year?”

Reflection doesn’t need to be heavy or dramatic.
It’s simply giving yourself permission to say:

“Oh yes… that’s what I learned.
That’s what I survived.
And THAT is definitely not coming with me into 2026.”

We reflect back so we can reset forward — a bit like tidying a drawer before putting fresh socks in. It just feels better.

If you’re craving a soft, supportive RESET rather than a hard-edged “challenge,” you’re in exactly the right place.

Here are your 2025 Journal Reflection Prompts — Part 1 - to get you in the mood for a beautiful 2026.

✨ 2025 Journal Reflection Prompts — Part 1

1. What part of your life is quietly whispering, “Please reset me a little for 2026”?

Maybe it’s your morning routine.
Maybe it’s your boundaries.
Maybe it’s the relationship you have with your phone… or your expectations… or your to-do list.
Or maybe your whole life is waving a big flag saying, “Start again, my love.”
Perfectly normal.

If you’d like gentle support with this, you can join my Begin, Begin Again Reset — a soft landing rather than a mountain climb. Think of it as a friendly nudge, not a boot camp.

2. What surprised you about yourself in 2025?

Where did you grow?
Where did you soften?
Where did you show resilience you didn’t know you had?
And when did you cry in Tesco?

3. What are you absolutely NOT taking with you into 2026?

Old stories?
Habits that drain you?
Beliefs that shrink you?
Other people’s expectations?
The idea that you need to “do all the things” before 10am?
Release, release, release.

4. Which quality supported you the most this year — and which one wants a little upgrade?

Did you lean on courage, humour, patience, stubbornness?
No judgement — just notice what carried you, and what you’d like more of.

5. How do you actually want to feel in 2026?

Not what you want to achieve — but how you want your days to feel.
Write the vibes, not the tasks.

6. What did 2025 teach you about your needs?

Where did you honour them?
Where did you override them like a houseplant pretending it doesn’t need watering?
Awareness is the first act of self-kindness.

7. What one small, nourishing habit would you love to bring into 2026?

Keep it tiny. Keep it kind.
A morning stretch.
A minute of grounding breath.
A short walk.
A softer inner voice.
Little things. Big difference.

A Gentle Invitation Into Your Reset

If you’re longing for a reset — the nice kind, not the “reinvent your entire life by Wednesday” kind — the Begin, Begin Again Reset is here to support you.

It’s warm.
It’s doable.
It’s designed for real humans with real lives.

And it will help you step into 2026 with more clarity, more steadiness and far less pressure.
