35 One-worded Journaling Prompts




You never know where a single, simple word can take you. We’ve compiled 35 one-worded prompts from previous Writing Verandas to let your imagination and creativity run free.


How we recommend journaling:


Grab your journal and pen, pick a prompt (or combine two or more!) and set aside uninterrupted time (at least 10 minutes). Then, just write and let your thoughts flow!

We can’t wait to see where one word can take you. If you’re feeling up to it, share your writing with us on Instagram @mindterra.co or email us at team@mindterra.co - we’d love to hear from you! And if you want to write along to music, we’ve curated our very own MindTerra playlist on Spotify here.

  1. Air

  2. Lemonade
