What to do when you don't know what to journal about
I was pondering what I do to kickstart my journaling on those days where blank pages stare at me, and I stare back in wonder what on earth to write.
I did write a blog post on how to start keeping a journal filled with questions you can ask yourself, but I can imagine you either run out of questions or you don't find any inspiring.
What do you do?
The answer is simple: keep a tiny notebook and pen handy during the day.
Whenever something happens that makes you happy, or whenever you remember something about your life during your day, write down a quick note in your little notebook.
My little notebook is a Europe Minor pad, a tiny pad that fits in my hand. I use a Uni Pin fineliner with it, so I can write my daily lists, but also doodle, write poetry or write my daily lists.
I can write something more about my little notebook later (just ask me on Mastodon and I will write that post.
Then at the end of the day, or the next morning, grab your journal and write something to the prompts you jotted down earlier.
If that fails, you can journal to a theme. My little notebooks contain my most important journal of all: my gratitude log. At the end of each day I write down the things I'm grateful for and it is so very helpful to leaf through my little notebook and see all the things I'm grateful for. This never fails to inspire.
I do hope this helps you to fill your journal's pages!
