15 Journaling Prompts to Explore Your Spiritual Side

Your spiritual self informs your beliefs about the world, your purpose, your place in the bigger puzzle of life, and more. Spirituality can involve religion, but it doesn’t have to. It’s how you make sense of the world, where you find joy, and what you feel gives your life meaning.
