Reflection Prompts for Wreck It Journal

Write about a time you embraced the messiness and uncertainty of life instead of seeking perfect control. What I mean by that is, it pushes your boundaries and makes you think of both art and journaling in a different way. It tries to expand the ideas we have established of what we think a journal is. See, it’s not just about someone sitting down to neatly chronicle events and feelings; rather it can be the ultimate form of expression, experimentation of creation, and thought collection! Record your emotions throughout the day and assign a color to each one. Create a color map of your day. Chronicle a moment when you discovered something new and significant about your personality or character.

Ensure their journal is private: If a child is scared their words or pictures will hurt someone, or get them into trouble, they won’t be honest. That child will need to know their journal is a safe space before recording things with confidence. Activities like mindful coloring, journaling, and sensory experiences like ripping or tearing paper can have a calming effect on your mind. It allows you to be present in the moment, focus on the task at hand, and let go of any worries or stressors. It's like a mini-therapy session with paint and paper! 3. Fosters Experimentation and Risk-Taking The point of the book is to encourage people to be creative and to experiment with different mediums.

Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful.”– Albert Schweitzer Give up control: Don’t tell them exactly what to write. Make suggestions if they need them, but otherwise, keep your ideas to yourself (2). The book can be used in any way the reader sees fit, so there is no set amount of time it will take to complete. What's the most significant decision you've ever made? Reflect on the reasons behind this decision. Write about a time when you faced a fear and how you overcame it. This can give you hope and encouragement to face your current fears and anxieties.
