Do you really know yourself? Are you happy with life? Are you making the most of everything? Well, I have come up with 50 questions about yourself to develop your personal growth and work on yourself. These questions can also be used as personal growth journal prompts. So recently I have been getting into journaling and I wanted to think up some questions that could help me with this!
Journals can be a great place to write down all your thoughts and feelings.
They are designed to make you really think about yourself and about those around you. They will make you think about gratitude and being happy for what you have. You make even find out more about yourself and think about things you haven’t really thought of before.
Asking yourself questions is an amazing way to start to understand yourself a bit better and release what you want to do with your life. I know it can all be a bit confusing which is why you need to go through all the questions one by one.
This post was inspired by Ell Duclos.

Final thoughts
After asking yourself these questions it is good to reflect. Reflection can be so important. It makes you think further into what you can do about the answers to your questions. If yuo struggle to answer any of the questions then try writing them down instead of thinking about them.
A great thing you could try to do is start journaling. A journal is a great way to write down your thoughts, feelings, your plans and aspirations and your short term goals on how to get there. They also let you get a bit creative. If you need help learning how to start a bullet journal I have a post covering it. These personal growth journal prompt questions can be a great place to start.

About the Author
Thank you for reading my post about 50 questions about yourself. If you want to find out more check out my about me page. My name is Amber Page and I run The Unpredicted Page. You can find me over on:
This is such a powerful post! I ask myself these types of questions often. They really help with mental health and personal growth!
There are some seriously in depth questions there Amber, some real self analysis here and it only works with total honesty
A few of these resonated with me and had me thinking – why don’t I listen to good advice when it comes from myself? I guess it can be easy to ignore one’s gut feelings until they’re put on paper. As for question number 35, I always try to find something to be proud of in terms of how I’ve changed. It’s just hard to see when everything good about life is shoved to your periphery by the chaos in front of you.
Ooh, I love these journal prompts! I have never written a journal, but these questions are worth pondering about. For instance, ‘Why am I worth knowing’ is a unique spin to a regular self-introduction. Thanks for sharing these question prompts, Amber! 🙂
