Submissive Journaling Prompts

To read my introduction to submissive journaling, please read this post.

Journaling prompts are themes that you can write about or questions to make you think more about your submission. Here are a few of my own submissive journaling prompts, and links below to some examples from other websites.

• Are you a natural submissive or a learned submissive or both? What parts of you are each?
• What does submission mean to you? Surrender? How is this different from passivity? Are the two connected?
• Would you rather surrender or be conquered? Why?
• When you were younger, what kind of fantasies did you have? Did you understand what they meant? How did you feel about them? Did you share them with anyone? Try to act any out? What happened?
• How do you feel about punishment in a BDSM relationship? Is it necessary for all Masters and slaves? Does it turn the slave into a child or make her a more responsible adult?
• What parts of you are submissive? What parts of you are dominant or a switch? How do you balance out these different parts of yourself?
• What actions your Dom does have you noticed make you feel immediately submissive or small? What actions just annoy or irritate you? Make you horny? Make you resentful? Afraid? Grateful? How could he recreate the good feelings in you and avoid the bad ones? Should he avoid the bad ones or do they help you grow?
• What aspects of your Master's leadership do you enjoy? What are harder to deal with? How do you find the inner strength and patience to endure the aspects you don't enjoy?
• What do you think about the phrase, "Topping from the bottom"? Is it always a bad thing? Do you do it sometimes? Why? How does your Dom react?
• What do you think are the top five qualities any Master should have?
• What activities or limits did you use to be afraid to try, but have now tried? Did you like them? How did you feel when you tried them despite your fears? Why did you try them?
• "A sub with a safeword is just a Domme on her knees." Do you think this is true? Why or why not?
• Do you ever desire to be a Top or a switch? In what situations? Why do you think these situations bring out that desire in you?
• How did you and your Master meet? When you first met your Master, what initially attracted you to him?
• What was your first introduction to BDSM? Who was involved? What aspects did you like or not like?
• When did you first begin to think you might like to live a lifestyle as a submissive? Did you enter the lifestyle with complete joy or did you have some reservations? How did you overcome them? Do you still have any reservations?
• What personality traits or habits do you most need to overcome in order to grow in your submission?
• What parts of yourself are not yet totally submitted to your Master? Why do you keep those parts separate? Does he know about them, and if so, how does he feel about them?
• Do you think you could be happy in a vanilla relationship? What would that look like?
• Describe what it would look like if you and your Master decided to have a vanilla-only relationship. What would change? What would stay the same? How would you feel?
