When You Can’t Quiet Your Mind, Start Here

(You don’t need peace and quiet to begin.)

Some days, journaling feels like trying to meditate in the middle of rush hour.

You sit down. Your pen hesitates. Your mind says,
“Actually, let’s spiral about EVERYTHING instead.”

It happens.

This isn’t failure.
This is where the glow begins.

You don’t need a clear head to write.
You don’t need incense or the perfect playlist.
You just need to crack the window to your soul open just slightly and let some air in.

Try this prompt:

What part of me have I been ignoring—and what might it need today?

That’s it. That’s the whole ritual.
Even if you only write three lines. Even if one of them is “I don’t know.”

Journaling isn’t about achieving calm.
It’s about giving the chaos a place to land.

Let it land here.
