Choose a notebook, app, or document
Pick a regular time to journal
Start with the date
Write whatever is on your mind
Use short sentences if needed
Focus on thoughts, feelings, and events
Ask yourself simple prompts
Write about what happened today
Write about what you felt today
Write about what you want to remember
Be honest with yourself
Do not worry about perfect writing
Keep entries short if that helps
Use bullet points if you prefer
Review past entries when useful
End with one takeaway or intention
Journal consistently, even for a few minutes
