50 That Girl Journal Prompts to Help You Plan Your Next Glow-Up Era

Let’s be honest—we’ve all had That Girl phase saved on Pinterest since 2021.

She’s got the tidy apartment, the morning routine that actually happens, the iced coffee with oat milk, and the gym bag that’s somehow… not still in her trunk from last week.

But here’s the thing—being That Girl isn’t about having it all figured out. It’s about trying. It’s about becoming more you, not some internet version of “perfect.”

And THAT’S where journaling comes in.

These 50 “That Girl” journal prompts aren’t here to judge your messy hair or that half-folded laundry pile (same, girl). They’re here to help you slow down, check in, and gently remind yourself of the kind of life you want to build.

Maybe that looks like 5AM workouts and vision boards… or maybe it looks like setting one boundary and drinking more water today. BOTH count. 💛

So grab your notebook (or your Notes app—no pressure), light that candle you’ve been saving, and let’s make space for the version of you that’s already showing up.

She’s in there. These prompts will help you hear her voice a little louder.

Let’s start your next glow-up—on your terms.

What does it really mean to be “That Girl”?

Before we get into the prompts, let’s clear something up—being That Girl doesn’t mean you’re perfect, or aesthetic 24/7, or living off green smoothies with a $60 planner in hand (unless you want to, in which case… go off).

Being That Girl in 2025 is about showing up for yourself.

Even on the weird days. Even on the days you’d rather scroll TikTok than journal or do that 10-minute stretch you promised yourself.

It’s about small, intentional choices. Waking up five minutes earlier so you don’t have to sprint out the door. Saying no to things that drain you. Saying yes to yourself without guilt. It’s messy, beautiful, awkward, and empowering all at once.

And journaling?

It’s how you get in touch with that version of yourself. The one who’s growing quietly. The one who still has bad days, but doesn’t give up. The one who wants MORE—but also wants peace.

So if you’re here thinking, I want to become That Girl… but I also have no idea where to start—these journal prompts are it.

Not because they’ll magically change your life overnight. But because they’ll help you figure out what kind of life you want to build.

And babe, that’s where the magic happens.

Morning mindset prompts to start your day like That Girl

We’re not saying your morning has to be perfect—because let’s be real, some days the vibe is coffee-fueled chaos and forgotten dry shampoo.

But if you can start your day with intention, even just for a few minutes, it makes a huge difference.

These morning prompts are designed to help you feel grounded, focused, and a little more connected to the version of you that’s out here doing her best (even if she’s still in pajamas at noon).

Try one while sipping your matcha, sitting in the sun, or curled up under your blanket. No pressure. Just presence.

Self-care and wellness prompts to recharge

Being That Girl doesn’t mean you have a 20-step skincare routine and a gym membership you actually use every day (though if you do, go you).

It’s about listening to your body, protecting your peace, and showing up for yourself in the ways that matter most.

These prompts will help you check in with how you’re really doing—not how you look on the outside, but how you’re feeling underneath it all.

Because glow-ups start with rest, boundaries, and choosing yourself (even when it’s uncomfortable).

Goal-setting and glow-up prompts

Let’s be real—glow-ups aren’t just about looks. The real glow-up is in your habits, your mindset, your boundaries, your energy.

It’s in the way you speak to yourself. The way you follow through on your promises, even the quiet ones.

These prompts are here to help you dream boldly, plan realistically, and remind yourself why you started. Whether you’re manifesting your next big move or just trying to stay consistent, this is your space to reflect, plan, and own your next era.

Confidence and mindset prompts

That Girl isn’t confident because her life is perfect—she’s confident because she knows who she is (even when things are messy), and she refuses to shrink herself to fit in.

Confidence is a muscle, and these prompts are like mini workouts for your self-worth.

Use this section to rewire the way you talk to yourself, challenge those sneaky self-doubts, and show up like the main character you already are—no extra filter required.

End-of-day reflection prompts to wind down and reset

That Girl doesn’t end her day doom-scrolling and spiraling about everything she didn’t get done (okay… maybe sometimes, but we’re working on it).

She checks in, reflects, and lets go—so she can rest and recharge without carrying all that mental clutter to bed.

These prompts are here for those sleepy, soft moments when you want to be honest with yourself, celebrate your little wins, and just breathe out the day.

For You

There’s no single way to become That Girl. There’s no checklist, no aesthetic filter, no perfect morning routine that magically turns you into the best version of yourself.

But there is this: the quiet choice to keep showing up.

To pause. To reflect. To ask yourself honest questions—and really listen to the answers.

These 50 journal prompts aren’t here to fix you (because you’re not broken 💛). They’re here to help you remember who you are, where you’re headed, and what it looks like to love yourself through every version of the process. Messy days, glowing days, all of it.
