i have a couple of different things i like to do:
1. reflect on the day through the senses - make a chart of things you saw, ate, smelled, touched, etc.
2. write/brain dump immediately you wake up, aka “morning pages” i tend to write a lot about my dreams from the night before and i remember them better
3. i feel like i journaled more when i let myself write in word bubbles, doodle, free association, etc.
4. subscribe to moonlists.com really great reflective journal prompt email newsletter

Linked :) Incredible list of prompts
I would also recommend Lynda Barry’s daily diary four-square method (attached below) or any Lynda Barry… her book Syllabus is full of inspiration! As an on and off journaler, that’s the approach I’m able to stick with most consistently because I have a difficult time with narrative journaling but love making lists! It helps me to tune in and be present each day so I have something to write about.
Can be helpful to set a timer for 5 minutes or a number of pages you want to write and just do stream of consciousness. Morning Pages is a method from the Artist’s Way and you write three pages every morning about anything but you have to fill three pages.
And lastly, if you’re religious/spiritual at all, you might be interested in Two Way Prayer.

having girl bffs is so important - i cant even think of anything better … maintaining sisterhood is literally the 8th wonder of the world … i am incomplete without supportive female friendships … i can live with having only 5 friends if it means they’re the best 5 girls in the universe

been journaling for awhile and its been a tool for creativity and unwinding after a longgg day. but having a larger journal with many pages can be daunting so i would recommend a pocket journal of some sort and ur fav pen (even fun stickers and photos) so u can take it with u on the go and not feel too intimidated. i love writing what i just witnessed, immediate thoughts, and literally anything for memory keeping or reflection. im on my third pocket journal now and although i havent been consistent its been something i do look forward to revisiting all the time 💓
