I feel you. What finally did it for me was getting into the bullet journaling community. Watched some YouTube vids about the creative ways you can use your journal & the bullet journal method, made it an art project and a planner as well. It's really working for me

There are Journaling feeds here on the Sky - that is how I found you to respond ❤️ You could check those out and see what other people are doing, or talk to other journalers? It might inspire you

I'll have to check those out. Thank you. I think prompts or other inspiration might be what I need to get things started.

If you want to start out with a prompt or a structure, pick a basic work that represents your emotion that you feel the need to write about. An example could be "I feel sad. I feel sad because my bro left without amending our fight. I feel this way because..." Something like that.

Then you can see if your hand, mind, and energy will help you keep writing out your feelings. It might look shallow or you might dive deeper and find something more than just being sad. You can also do a mood tracker and then figure out what brought on that mood/feeling.

Step 1 - open your book
Step 2 - grab your pen
Step 3 - start writing what is on your mind

The first step may be the hardest.
