Rooted in the Rush — December Reflections & Journaling Prompts

December has a way of sweeping us up, doesn’t it?It’s a month full of excitement, gatherings, celebrations, school events, work parties, family traditions — a beautiful mix of joy and busyness. And with all of that movement, it’s very easy to feel pulled in different directions.

This month’s theme, Rooted in the Rush, is an invitation to stay connected to what truly grounds you. Even when life feels full, you can return to your roots — your values, your intentions, your people, the little rituals that bring you home to yourself.

If you’d like to take a moment to reflect before the month unfolds, here are a few gentle journaling prompts to explore. Let them guide you back to what matters most.
