What am I intentionally ignoring?

What can I do in one hour or less to make my life better?

Mine is: what are you grateful for?

Write a letter to your past self (10 years younger than you are today). Then write another one to your future self (10 years from now).

I don’t really use prompts, but I’m really considering doing so soon. I want to commit myself to making journaling more of a regular habit until it becomes a daily practice and prompts may be a good way to get myself there.

Right now I just kind of do it when I feel like it, and sometimes I’ll go days or weeks between entries. It’s sad because I know how much it helps me when I’m consistent with the practice, but yet I haven’t really made it a priority.

I’ve been journaling on and off since I was a kid, but I don’t have any of my old journals from then. I have one from my teen years (cringe), and then I really got back into it again a few years ago.

If I’m particularly stuck, but know that I have something that I need to process/consider/write about in order to understand it, I’ll sometimes start with a particularly poignant line of a song, poem, etc., that somehow has relevance to the thing I am trying to process into writing.

There are a number of artists and phrases that trigger deeper thought within me where just asking myself a question to get the tap flowing would be less effective.
