While most of us are still attached to doing everything on a phone, tablet, or computer, one of the best ways to get out of your own head is to write your thoughts down. This is where writing prompts come in handy! These prompts are tailored to make you think spontaneously and a little deeper about certain topics.
Not only do these questions expand your mind but can be an easy way to find inspiration or even a new attitude. Scientific evidence also proves that writing accesses your left brain, which is more analytical. While your left brain is working, your right brain is free to create, therefore cultivating a more wholesome thought process you might not experience without the element of writing involved.
Try out these 10 writing prompts and start your workday off on the right foot.

Make sure to step back and look at the larger picture, whether that be considering a new job, career shift, or even a fun entrepreneurial adventure. Writing all of your thoughts out can help you fully understand how you’re actually feeling.
