FAQ: Journal Prompt card decks

Journal Prompt Card Decks are tools designed to inspire reflective writing and self-discovery through structured prompts and questions. Each card contains a specific prompt or topic intended to spark thoughts, encourage introspection, and guide users in journaling about personal experiences, emotions, goals, or creative ideas. These decks make journaling easier and more focused by offering thought-provoking starting points.

These decks are used by individuals who practice journaling for personal growth, self-care, or creativity. They are popular among writers, therapists, life coaches, and anyone looking to develop greater self-awareness, work through emotions, or improve mental well-being through reflective writing. Educators, students, and people involved in creative writing or mindfulness practices also benefit from these decks.

You use these decks to stimulate your journaling practice, helping you focus on specific topics, work through emotions, or set personal goals. The prompts encourage deep reflection and make it easier to start writing, especially when you're unsure of what to write about. They can help with emotional processing, goal setting, creative thinking, and personal development by providing structure and inspiration for regular journaling.

To use the deck, you draw a card with a journaling prompt or question, then reflect on it as you write in your journal. The prompt may ask you to explore a personal experience, reflect on an emotion, or set intentions for the future. You can use the cards daily as part of a journaling routine, or draw a card whenever you need inspiration or direction. The cards can also be used in group settings, such as writing workshops or therapy sessions, to facilitate discussions or collective reflection.

Shitty First Draft

SMART AUTHORS START SOMEWHERE!

SINGLE DECK

Writing a book isn’t always easy – we all start with big dreams, but along the way, it’s easy to get sidetracked by doubt, distractions, or simply lose momentum. That’s where the Shitty First Draft deck comes in. Whether you’re just getting started, or deep into the writing process, these cards are here to help you keep going, especially when things get tough.

This deck gives you an insight into the Smart Author System’s Scheduling and Scribing principle, and is designed to give you bite-sized strategies to keep you on track. Each card offers a quick and actionable tip you can implement in just 15-30 minutes, helping you move forward as you work toward completing your book.

The cards are divided into four suits, each focusing on a key area of the writing journey:

Time – Practical strategies to help you manage your time, make writing a priority, and get those words down consistently.

Focus – Tips to help you stay on track, block out distractions, and build habits that keep you moving toward your goals.

Motivation – Ideas to reignite your passion, overcome writer’s block, and maintain your momentum throughout the writing process.

Boost – Confidence-boosting tips for those moments when self-doubt creeps in, helping you embrace your voice and push past the inner critic.

HOW TO USE THIS DECK

This deck is designed to be your go-to tool whenever you need a little push or fresh inspiration. Here’s how you can make the most of it:

Pick a Card a Day: Whether you need help managing time, staying focused, or finding motivation, commit to one action each day to keep your writing momentum going.

Go With Your Gut: Feeling stuck? Pick a card at random and trust that it’s exactly what you need to move forward in that moment.

Keep Moving: Each card is a small but powerful step toward finishing your book. Focus on progress, not perfection – even a little action can make a big difference.

At Librotas, we’re passionate about helping you confidently step into your role as an author and make an impact through your book. This is the first in a series of Book Mentor in Your Pocket decks, designed to support you on every step of your writing, publishing, and promotion journey.

ABOUT THE CREATOR

Karen Williams, The Book Mentor at Librotas®, has helped hundreds of business authors turn their expertise into impactful books. With 10 books of her own and over a decade of experience coaching clients, Karen knows what it takes to turn a rough first draft into a business-building bestseller.

We’d love to hear your thoughts and ideas! Please send them to karen@librotas.com – your input will help us make this deck (and the ones to come) even better.

A note on the design: You might notice the edgy, bold look of the deck cover, contrasting with the calmer design of the cards inside. This reflects the dual nature of the writing journey – sometimes it’s messy and full of crossed-out ideas, and other times, it’s about finding focus, clarity, and calm. Both are part of the process, and this deck is here to guide you through it all.

Return to Mindfulness

EIGHT SKILLS TO LIVE, LOVE, AND LEAD FROM A PLACE OF CLARITY AND CONNECTION

SINGLE DECK

Life is messy. And it’s beautiful. The Return deck offers a mindful lens for everyday life, to find beauty even in the messiness. You can draw cards to gain clarity about what’s happening and what’s important in the middle of a challenging day. You can also practice with the cards when life is good—to deepen your connection with all of life in that moment and make meaningful choices that benefit you, your loved ones, and the world.

Like a mindful friend, these cards are designed to be there for you when you need them.

Practice and play with the mindfulness cards to:

  1. Start your day intentionally
  2. Find clarity about a situation or relationship
  3. Make choices that are personally and collectively fulfilling
  4. Share a meaningful experience with a loved one
  5. Return to your present moment experience, possibilities, and creative insight

These cards are a work of love combining many hours of meditation, contemplative discussions, research, and a human centered approach to address the question:

What would help meditators integrate mindfulness into their everyday life?

The answers, we discovered, are relevant to everyone—whether you’ve been meditating for years or you’re not interested in meditation. Here’s the thing. Our minds enable us to see clearly, connect deeply, and find creative solutions. The same mind can also cloud our thinking, create divisiveness, and cause harm to ourselves and others.

While we may not have control over our circumstances, we can systematically and playfully strengthen habits of the mind that enable us to return to our innate capacity to know, feel, love, and connect with what’s important while staying open to possibilities.

More specifically, there are eight habits of the mind that empower us to be mindful in the real world:
1. Awareness
2. Compassion
3. Curiosity
4. Energy
5. Appreciative Joy
6. Inner Calm
7. Focus
8. Equanimity

Yup, based on the original mindfulness teachings and modern science, we can strengthen these eight habits that disrupt our default tendencies to rush and react and be mindful. This deck was designed to help you do that!

ABOUT THE CREATORS
Each card in this deck has been lovingly created by Dr. Shalini Bahl and Max Alaghband to meet you wherever you are on your journey.

Dr. Bahl brings her lifelong commitment to mindfulness backed by her trainings, award-winning research, and experience of teaching thousands of people around the world.

Max Alaghband brings his training and expertise in yoga and human-centered design, which informed the development, testing, and trying of this product.

Most importantly, we brought our full selves to the project and hope that everyone benefits from these cards as much as we did in the process of creation and continue to do so as a part of our daily practice.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

HOW TO USE THE RETURN DECK

There are many ways to engage with this deck on your own, with a partner, or with a group:

  1. Go through the entire deck, picking one card each day and using it as a reminder to practice and play throughout your day, and/or

  2. Pick a card from a mindful habit you feel you need most in that moment and let it guide you to return to your place of inner knowing, and/or

  3. Pick a random card and trust that that's the mindful habit you most need in that moment to see clearly and act intentionally

Embracing Intuition Affirmation Cards

TRUST, EMBRACE, AND ENHANCE YOUR EMPATHIC AND INTUITIVE ABILITIES

SINGLE DECK

You've always been a little different. You're an Empath, a HSP (highly sensitive person), a Psychic, a Seer, a Knower, a Mystic...or whatever descriptive words you wrap around your challenging gifts.

Your intuitive or psychic gifts set you apart. You know things others don't know and receive signs and messages that others don't recognize. Your path is often lonely and difficult.

As an extremely psychic-sensitive child, which we would now call Empath and HSP, I learned that I shouldn't talk about the spirits I saw, the feelings I had, or the things I knew. I had nobody to talk to--nobody in my family had powers--no mentors. Nothing. I had to figure out a LOT by myself. I embraced my abilities and used them essentially in secret for a long time.

Me? I'm an HSP (Highly Sensitive Person, in case you haven't seen that term), empath, clairvoyant, clairaudient, claircognizant, clairsentient, medium, animal communicator...and on it goes.

Now I love teaching psychically gifted people to help you connect with the divinity of yourself as you discover how to trust, embrace, and grow your abilities.

These affirmation cards help you do all that and more. Draw a card. Read and speak the affirmation aloud. Meditate and journal about it.

You may notice feelings coming up--maybe self-doubt, or imposter syndrome, or wondering whether your gifts are real. But you're not an imposter and your gifts ARE real. You have them for a reason.

Give yourself a hug and begin your journey of self-discovery, self-acceptance, and self-love.

Pathways Through Grief

TOOLS AND STORIES TO HELP YOU NAVIGATE YOUR JOURNEY THROUGH GRIEF

SINGLE DECK

Hi, I am Rhonda Haley-McKinnon, and I created the Pathways Through Grief Oracle Journey deck, inspired by the profound personal losses I've experienced. Between 2017 and 2018, I lost my sister, father, and brother. (My mom passed in 2006).

During the pandemic, I faced the challenges of leaving my job due to chronic health conditions, while my husband lost his business of 26 years.

We also endured the loss of four beloved animals and my uncle during this period. These events plunged me into a state of deep grief and C-PTSD.

As a Reiki master teacher, Certified Reflexologist, Sound practitioner, and spiritual coach, I have become a compassionate guide for those in mourning. Through these transformative experiences, I have unwittingly become the Yoda of grief, helping others find their way through the shadows.

I am an avid Oracle and Tarot card collector and I professionally read Oracle and Tarot cards as well.

I am currently working on three Oracle decks.

My daily practices of meditation, breathwork, and Kundalini Yoga keep me connected to my inner wisdom and the divine.

I am motivated by the belief that each day offers a new perspective, an opportunity for gratitude, and the essential practice of self-love. I cherish spending time with my husband and cats, and I believe my deck can be a beacon of light for those navigating grief.

Please reach out to me for spiritual support and guidance on your journey through grief.

UNCOVER YOUR BRILLIANCE AND SHINE BRIGHTLY

SINGLE DECK

Welcome to the Dissolving Imposter Syndrome Card Deck.

My intention is for this deck to be used to dismantle and dissolve fears, limiting beliefs, patterns, programs, repeating patterns, unworthiness, self-doubt and anything else standing in the way of you showcasing your Particular skills and gifts. Each of us has a gift or gifts that we have come here to share with others. Sometimes a negative experience, a negative comment, a run of bad luck, low self-esteem, anxiety and regular old fear can get in the way of us Shining our Light, shining and sharing our Gifts with the World.

This deck is here to support you as you navigate the dismantling and dissolving of all the things that stand in your way.

The deck has four categories and several bonus cards. Each category is color coded with a theme.

The first category is the dissolving piece. These cards are yellow. Yellow, like the third chakra to access your Power. These cards provide information and prompts to get you thinking about where Imposter Syndrome may have originated for you.

The second category is called Questions to Support You. These cards are Purple. Another powerful and strong color to lift you up as you contemplate each question meant to support you on your journey.

The third section is called, Inspiration. These cards are pink. The beach scene with a pink background is intended to drop you into a relaxed state and provide a sense of inspiration. As you feel the warmth of the ocean water and air, feel your feet in the sand, the intention here is to feel inspired by the information on these cards.

And lastly, the blue cards are the Take Action cards. This is where I prompt you to take some action each time these cards are pulled. Be gentle with yourself with these and be sure to have fun taking one small step towards your goals and dreams.

A Dissolving Imposter Syndrome workshop will be offered throughout the year. The deck will be a support to the workshop. Rest assured, if you can't take the workshop with me, the card deck will serve as a helpful companion on your journey towards stepping forward with your gifts with more confidence and certainty.
