Journal Prompts – Shifting Perspective
Fill Your Cup is a journal prompt series that encourages moms to take care of themselves by taking a short amount of time to journal during the week. The questions are meant to help you take a look inside and be intentional about your week to come. Respond to whichever speaks to you by writing, painting or drawing.

Journal Prompts – Shifting Perspective
- When meltdown moments strike, how can you rebound quickly, shift your perspective, and put a positive light back into your day?
- Take a moment to write a short note to each member of your family telling them what you love about them. Give the notes as gifts to each person before sitting down to eat dinner tonight.
- Pick an event or conversation you've recently had and write about it from two different perspectives. For example, if today I had a conversation with my daughter, I could write about it as if I’m me, telling a friend about it or I could write about it as though I was my daughter or even a stranger in the room, reporting what was seen and heard. How might your story be different when told from two perspectives?
- Go view the world from a different set of lenses. Go on a 10 minute photo walk (with or without the kids) and stop every minute to snap a photo. How did you feel before you left? How did you feel when you returned home? Did your perspective shift or change after seeing your surroundings in a different way?
