Good questions are the nuts and bolts of journaling.

About

Hello and welcome! My name is Christie Zimmer and this is my website. Thanks so much for stopping by!  Here you'll find my collection of reflective journal prompts and printable guided journal pages.

I believe that journaling is an invaluable tool for creating a life you love. Your journal is a place to nurture and develop your voice, to make more meaningful decisions, to set and pursue priorities that matter to you -- in other words, to engage in the type of purposeful reflection that transforms you into the most effective and most fulfilled version of yourself.

I've found that purposeful reflection starts with good questions.

Lots of them. On every possible subject. With a positive attitude, but also without shying away from difficult or uncomfortable issues.

Good questions are the nuts and bolts of journaling. They lead to understanding, which in turn leads to intentional action that takes into account your unique strengths and circumstances. This is both good news and bad news. The good news is that anyone can enjoy the benefits of journaling. It's quite straightforward, after all. The bad news is that there is no quick fix, no easy three-step solution for creating a life you love. It requires thoughtful inquiry and a willingness to explore and experiment.

Which is where I can help.

I have been creating guided journals and printables for more than 10 years, here and at my previous website Adventures in Guided Journaling. I also give workshops, journal talks, and create reflective learning materials for schools and other organizations.

The primary focus of my journal work is the process of reflection — thinking through your experiences, making sense of them, learning from them, and ultimately, putting that learning to good use in future experiences. It can be delightfully surprising and full of unexpected twists and turns. Even a few moments of reflection have the capacity to deepen your experiences, encourage you to embrace new opportunities, and move you meaningfully toward achieving your goals.

My goal here is to create colourful, curious, forward-looking printable guided journal pages designed to give you a wide variety of opportunities to reflect from different perspectives. In my growing collection, you’ll find pages for quick and insightful 10-minute journaling, for navigating life’s bumps in the road, for transforming thoughts into action, for building resilience, and so much more, including many pages you can try for free!

If you love the idea of regular journaling and are looking for a variety of engaging resources and lots of encouragement along the way, journal with me or join me on my blog, where I'm always experimenting with new prompts and printables.

I also send out occasional newsletters with new ideas, updates, and works in progress. (This is where new pages often appear before they’re available anywhere else!)

Take a look around. Make yourself comfortable. Choose a prompt or a printable journal page and start writing. If you have any questions, drop me a line. I'd love to hear from you and I'm always happy to chat.

Best wishes and happy journaling,
Christie
