The Honest Perspective Weekly Prompt

31st January — 6th February

Whether the ideas have slowed to a trickle or you’re just feeling curious and in the mood for a little reflection. Our weekly prompt is an invitation to ruminate on an idea and see what arises.

Be it poetry or prose you’d like to submit to us, or a journal entry for your eyes only, take a moment to pause at some point during your week and set your pen free.

January is the month in which we make our resolutions for the year ahead and many of us make them in relation to our physical appearance. Why?

Whose image is your body being compared to? What definitions of beauty do you hold?

How has the popular ideal of beauty shaped your relationship to your body?

When did you last feel beautiful?

What is your perspective on the beauty industry?

A few things to remember…

You can respond to any prompt at any time, so if you feel in need of a nudge but this week’s isn’t right for you, have a look through past posts and let your curiosity lead you.

Please remember prompts are not mandatory, you can submit a piece of poetry or prose on any topic in our publication.

And last of all, if you are submitting a response to a prompt, please include the tag ‘prompt’ when sending it to us.

If you would like to support this publication feel free buy me a cup of tea to keep the creative fires burning!
