# How to find inspiration for journaling Avoid putting too much pressure on yourself. Journaling is not supposed to be stressful. We don't always have something worth adding to our journals. We're sometimes stressed, sometimes overworked, sometimes too tired. It's okay not to write when you don't feel like it. If you struggle to write, start with what's in your mind right now: - How do you feel? - Do you know why you're feeling like that? - What has happened in the last hour? - Was there anything interesting? Why? Why not? - What would you have liked to happen instead? - Do you have ideas to change that for the next hour? - Have you achieved your main goal for the day? If not, why? - Are you proud of something or someone? Another approach that can be useful is to write [[Morning pages]]. Sometimes, those can help you walk past the famous writer's block. In any case, don't blame and don't pressure yourself. There's no need. It's okay if the well is dry for now. ## Related - [[Journaling]] - [[Journaling prompts]] - [[Morning pages]] - [[5 Minute Journal]] - [[1-1-1 Method]] - [[Three good things technique]] - [[Capturing moments of joy]] - [[Bullet journaling]]
