Here are 31 Perfect Autumn Journal Prompts for you to enjoy.
Why Autumn?
Why not Autumn?? I think to anyone who reads my blog over the next few months, it will become very obvious that this is my favourite time of year. From September until about March, I am at my happiest.
It seems only right to continue my monthly journal prompt series with this Autumn theme.
I can’t wait to answer these prompts and I hope you join me. I will be sharing the responses like I did with The Journey of Grief – Journal prompts on Instagram and Facebook.

Why is a journal prompt useful?
For me, having a reason to write each day is so important. It makes me stop, even just for a few minutes each day. It’s a moment in each day that is not about work, or housework or being a Mum. But it is also lovely to look back over your thoughts from the years, see how your answers could possibly change over time.
Do you keep a journal or diary? Do you feel it is valuable?
I hope you join in and find these prompts to be a fun way to record the time of year and how it makes you feel.



I’ve been thinking of starting a journal but didn’t know where to begin! This post is going to help me a lot x
Glad I could help x
These are lovely prompts. I really like the idea of journalling, I have seen some great ideas on Pinterest!
I can spend hours lost in journal prompts on Pinterest (And then more hours on everything else!!!)
This is such a good idea, I will definitely use this. Great post!
I hope you enjoy it x x
I read recently that October is the time of the year when farmers reap their harvest. For many, their entire financial year will be based on this time, so October is full of hope and prospects.
Our selves, like the fields outside, get cleared, cleaned and ready for a new beginning. October is traditionally a time to reflect and plan forward, the moment to find new goals.
So yeah, Autumn is a great time to start a journal, or any other goal. Well done for the incentive!
What a brilliant way to look at it, October being full of promise. Love it x
I’ve never written a journal myself, I know many people do like to do this. You’ve included some great ideas to help inspire people.

I’ve never been one to write in a journal, because all of my writing is for my blog. But the idea that it makes you stop and focus on just that has an appeal to me, because it isn’t something many of us do nearly enough. Reading through some of these prompts, it is something I can see myself doing and will give it a try.
I am s o glad x x
Journaling is one of the things that I’ve been doing since I was young, It reminds of the things I am grateful for.
I love being reminded of how wonderful life is x I love reading back over all my journals x
Autumn is my favourite season too, for fashion and there are lots of fun autumn activities like bonfire night and Halloween. Can’t wait to get our log burner roaring to get cosy by too.
I really wish we had our log burner in, we took it out to replace and never got round to it!
I love these prompts! Autumn is my favourite time of the year, and I definitely feel more inspired to get my bullet journal out after reading this! I know many of these will be helpful to me, thank you <3 x
I am so glad they are helpful, enjoy x x
Great prompts! I’ve been loving your Instagram posts this month and they’ve always given me something to think about as I’m scrolling through! x
Thank you lovely x
