Sometime last year, I came across a blog written by Courtney E. Ackerman about Writing Therapy. Brilliantly written!
She mentions Psychologist Margarita Tartakovsky listicles in her blog, wherein she states Ms. Tartakovsky provides a handy list of 30 prompts (2014). Some of these include:
- My favourite way to spend the day is…
- If I could talk to my teenage self, the one thing I would say is…
- Make a list of 30 things that make you smile.
- The words I’d like to live by are…
- I really wish others knew this about me…
- What always brings tears to your eyes?
- Using 10 words, describe yourself.
- Write a list of questions to which you urgently need answers.
I was spellbound by the blog written by Ms. Ackerman. Moreover, Ms. Tartakovsky’s listicle gave me a further push.
I happen to scribble down and made a list of 15 things instead of 30, that make me smile.
Here’s the list for your reference. Hope you could relate and maybe write some too.
Well! I’m off to writing the other’s recommended by Ms. Tartakovsky’s
