- What have you learned about yourself? (There are parts of isolation I actually like)
- What have you noticed about your own creativity? (I seem to be feeling more creative than usual)
- What creative solutions have you tried? (Working out in my living room using soup cans for weights)
- What has made you teary or sad? (Talking on the phone to an elderly cousin when she said, “I may never see you again.”)
- What have you enjoyed listening to, watching, or streaming? (I seem to be stuck on Australian television shows)
- What has made you laugh out loud? (Same answer twice in a row---Australian television shows)
- In what ways are you thinking differently about your future? (Definitely on-line teaching, more virtual clients)
- Responses to each of the prompts can be short or later developed into longer journal entries.
- This is a very limited list. Make up your own prompts.
- As always, there are no right or wrong ways to use these lists.
