10 Teen (or Adult!) Journaling Prompts for Tolerating Pandemic Prison
Whoever you are, wherever you live, you’re affected by the pandemic. There’s a lot we can’t control. But we can try our best to stay healthy and let out all the stuff that’s churning around inside of us. We can let out some of the frustration – confusion – anger – sadness, ETC. We can catch a short break by focusing on something better, too.
Try one or more of the following journaling prompts to release a bit of your burn:
- What are the first 5 things you’re going to do when this is really ALL over and life is back to normal? Pick one and tell why and how it will be AMAZING!
- Write a letter to COVID-19. Tell it plain and clear what you think about it – don’t hold back!
- Make a collage that expresses JOY! Hang it where you can see it every day.
- What feelings have you experienced while living in a pandemic*?
