20 Journaling Prompts to Reclaim Your Energy & Reconnect With Yourself

Sometimes the things draining us aren’t loud or obvious they’re subtle. Lingering emotions, people-pleasing, unspoken needs, or a breath we haven’t fully taken in days. Journaling can be a powerful way to slow down, check in, and gently reclaim your energy.

Use these prompts as part of your RESET practice, after breathwork, or whenever you feel scattered, depleted, or a little disconnected from yourself.

Self-Check: The Breath & Body Connection

1. What does my breath feel like right now? Shallow, slow, tight, soft?

2. Where in my body am I holding tension I didn’t notice before?

3. If my body could speak right now, what would it say?

4. What part of me needs a breath, a pause, or a softening today?

Energy Awareness: Identifying Leaks

1. What situations or habits are leaving me feeling drained lately?

2. Who or what am I giving energy to that doesn’t give anything back?

3. What does “leaking energy” look like in my day-to-day life?

4. What would it feel like to call my energy back from those places?

Nervous System Regulation

1. What helps me feel safe in my body?

2. When was the last time I truly felt calm, clear, and steady?

3. What does “overstimulated” feel like in my body—and how do I usually respond?

4. How can I support myself better when I feel on edge or overwhelmed?

Emotional Clarity

1. What emotions have I been avoiding or pushing down?

2. What would I say if I didn’t have to be “polite” or hold it all together?

3. Where am I still carrying feelings that aren’t even mine?

4. What do I need to feel, express, or release in order to move forward?

Reconnection & Boundaries

1. What boundaries do I need to honour more clearly this month?

2. Where in my life am I saying yes when I really mean no?

3. What does “coming home to myself” mean right now?

4. What would it feel like to be fully resourced and at ease in my own skin?
