54 Inspiring February Journal Prompts For The Month Of Love.

This post was updated 10th January 2023.

There are so many good things to love about the month of February. Valentine’s Day, Black History Month (in the USA), pancake day, Chinese New Year and looking hopefully forward to Spring (if you are in the Northern Hemisphere anyway).

As a homeschooling momma, I am all about self-love and self-care. It’s kind of essential when you are with your kids 24/7.

Journal time is one of my fundamental self-care rituals. It doesn’t need to be time-consuming or insta-perfect. Just some time out to de-stress, vent if you need to, or simply get creative.

Why not join me this February and start your own self-love journal routine? I have made these prompts with tired moms in mind, but I like to throw a few in for kids too. Recently, I introduced my boys to journaling and so far they are having fun with it. I hope it continues, it’s a nice thing to do together on a cosy afternoon.

Find your journal, make a cuppa and let’s get writing.

Free write or journal prompts?

I like to do a combination of free writing and using journal prompts, depending on the day. Sometimes I need to just write it all out, especially before I go to sleep. My before bed journal entry was and still is an important part of my insomnia management. Other days, I need a structured journal session, with prompts for inspiration. Find what you need and start today if you can. It’s always the best day to start a new habit.

Final thoughts.

Are you new to journalling? Have you found it easy or hard to start this new habit? It took me years to commit to journal writing. I think I had 5 different journals at one point, with only the first few pages written on. As with anything, change takes time. Just be patient, consistent and always hopeful.

My best journal prompt from January?

How can you make your home more cozy and peaceful this year?

I am really working on this one. Decluttering, setting up reading corners and cozy cushions, changing the lights, buying new house plants. We spend a lot of time at home as a homeschooling family and it’s been really lovely, making it a more cozy space to be in together.

Did you read my January prompts? Which ones are you working on? Let me know in the comments below.

Keep going. Happy writing.

How Many Journal Prompts Should You Do A Day?

Usually 1-2 journal prompts a day is a great way to get started. This makes the task seem less daunting and gives you the room to really explore what comes up. But there are no rules here.

Some prompts (what would you say in a love letter to yourself) take some time and thought, you might even do this one over several days. Others (i am happiest when______) might only require a few moments. The daily writing prompts in this post are a combination of short and longer form writing ideas.

What Should I Write In My 2023 Journal?

If you are thinking about your aspirations and dreams for the entire year, take some time to work out these 4 things (ideally on February 1st but you can do this anytime).

1. What am i deeply grateful for? This can be the big areas of your life (family, children, health, home, happiness) but don’t forget those small areas of satisfaction (your morning coffee, a great workout, your fluffy winter socks, a specific family member, snowy days). The more you look for all the things to be grateful for, the more abundant you will feel.
2. What transformation do you want to achieve this year? No matter how big or small, write it down.
3. What is your wildest dream? This is your journal, so no filter needed. Whatever your heart desires, write that in your journal. This is the best thing about journaling. It’s just for you. You can dream as big (or as small) as you like.
4. How can I make a difference to the world? What small positive changes can you make to your community, your planet, your relationships?

Take your dreams, ideas, inspiration from this and apply it to your own creative writing prompts to use in your daily writing practice. If you get stuck one day, use the monthly writing prompts to help you out.

I have every month covered on here and I am always adding new prompts. Enjoy developing your creative writing skills as well as figuring out your goals and dreams through the days of February.

February Journal Ideas.

You have a couple of choices if February is your first journal month. Use a physical journal (my absolute preference), use a digital version or try a quick notes journal app like Momento. You can create a February writing prompts calendar to make it easier when you come to journal. Don’t forget to make your February writing journal personal to you with beautiful journal covers.
