What’s a simple yet effective thing to write about daily?

Itzcalli I.
You can write about your day, and your actions, it helps you reflect on them, and capture the details of your day. Or even write some quotes!
Shruthi Y.
It’s really helpful to write about the things you want to get done in your journal (or any tiny space you’ve set aside for yourself) before actually getting to doing the things. This is one of the few things that helps me stick to the goals for the day. It doesn’t have to be anything extraordinary at all.
Mac X.
the best thing to write about daily is who matters most and how grateful you are for them. my team is my everything and i love writing about them and what they mean to me. i can't imagine life without them around so they are an easy daily writing becuase they are my universe.
Elke F.
I have not did this but maybe try writing about the favorite parts about your day. If your whole day was great you could just put everything was amazing or if you would just like to write a little, go ahead. . I hope that I helped. Good day!
Lara G.
I personally write about what I learned about the things I witnessed today and how I see the things after for example talking to someone or really thinking about them. A really effective thing to write about are the negative thoughts that are distracting you on your journey. Always keep in mind that there are some better days and some that aren’t so good. But don’t give up. Write about it. It helps.

And if you fail on your journey, remember: no master has fallen from the sky yet.
•get up and start over•

All i have to say is what i did for memory purposes and what i’m feeling. it’s a good thing to do. i don’t like writing for long periods so i keep it simple and to the point i want.
Eugene U.
I don’t know what science says, which is what you should listen to, but I think simply writing about what you’ve done today, how that made you feel (try to describe with multiple words or paint up a picture) and what you can do tomorrow to make you feel either better or as good as today. Reflect on if something made you happy or if something made you sad and write that down, and you might just get to know yourself a bit better and what you need in your life and what you don’t. Hopefully you’ll learn how to understand what you need, and also listen to that.
Lia F.
You can do a gratitude journal. I do that I write about three things that I’m currently grateful for. They don’t have to be big they can be very simple they can even be people. It just puts you into a positive mind frame
Marcus J.
Feelings and why I acted or felt a certain way some time during the day to improve myself or learn more about how that decision has impacted me and others
Amy T.
You should write down the things your grateful for and what you are looking forward to everyday. It will help set the tone of your day right a give you motivation to achieve you goal for the day.
Alexa T.
Don't over think what your gonna eat just eat something, example I am not a morning eater but as I get ready I take a banana and spread a table spoon of peanut butter across it cut it into bit size and Bam! All done
Chloe U.
Feelings as it helps to get it out sometimes and it’s something I’ve done in the past and it helps, in a way I look at it as venting and even tho I’m the only one reading it I don’t mind I feel better after I’ve got something out that needed to be said but no one to listen but yourself and I can see how far I’ve come for looking at previous days.
Marjorie C.
Writing about family, love, self care, and home life is a great thing to write about because it gives you time to reflect on what you can change in your everyday life.
Azzy N.
How your day is gone and how it affects you what things you did throughout the day what you could have done better to make it a better day
Malou E.
It is quite hard, sometimes i don’t want to think about my day, others I feel to overwhelmed to “waste” time stopping and writing
Johnni G.
I always start with what I’m worried about, what is on my mind or how I am feeling. I give myself room to express it all, and accept my feelings and then I make a list of things I’m grateful for. It helps me wind down after an emotional vomit lol
Norisete T.
start by writing something you are grateful for that day. write down a few things you were proud of or just parts of the day that were interesting or you enjoyed. if you have any worries or overwhelming feelings jot them down too. lastly plan out tomorrow or write down some things you want to get done. make sure you have no rules or restrictions for your journal entry.
Dena Q.
Write about exactly how you’ve been feeling throughout the day. When you woke up this morning, everything you felt through the day and then before you go to bed. Say what was on your mind and anything that was bothering you.
Max F.
Try to remember something you’ve been forgetting and make a mantra. I forget that I’m strong and confident and full of life and energy. Writing a mantra in the morning helps me remember for the day. “I am strong.” “I am confident”, “I am full of life” etc.
Gemma X.
I enjoy waking up in a morning
Making a coffee
Hopefully peace ☮️ quite ✝️💟
Sit near a view grab book 📕 pen 🖊 and just looking out your window 🪟 don’t feel you have to do it want to write maybe the sun ☀️ reminds us of a holiday a past childhood memories it gives u the super power believe in yourself your blank page will start seeing letters then words a paragraph a short bio a cute poem hope this helps potential always keep that keepsake close
Violet Y.
I’ve found that the best thing to write about each days are your goals for that day. Become a better person starts in your mind. The energy to active it starts in your body
Tammy P.
Life is the best thing to write about daily your life
If you write about your life daily and your emotions you might feel better of them
Because futur you will see it and see themselves at the moment
And if you want to you can write supportive messages for you future self so if you’re going through something you will feel better about it
Sean O.
An effective thing to write about daily is motivating and saying nice things about yourself to keep your self esteem high and proud
Alexa T.
Your goals and commitment must be written. In this sense, you are able to identify the accomplishments you want within the day.
Asta F.
Write a letter for your future self and imagine that you became the person you have always want to be, think about all the things that this person do,like his habits for example.
Leiloca E.
For me, it depends on the time of day! In the morning, I write down what I’m looking forward to, and in the evening, what I’m grateful for. This lets me both start and end my day on a positive note, and see if my day turned out to be what I thought it would. I find that, even if my day is completely different from what I was looking forward to, I still find things to be grateful for.
Brynn P.
To be honest, rather than journaling, I prefer to write out my daily todo list. It gives me a chance to set goals, look ahead at everything I need to take care of in a day, and reflect on what I accomplished the previous day. This is particularly helpful if you don’t have a blocked schedule set by work or school.

When you’re writing out things on your list, make sure to include self care tasks, projects for work or school, and errands you need to complete either today or in the upcoming week. I also like to include a couple of fun projects I want to make time for. I’d recommend breaking each task up into something you can accomplish in 2 hours or less.

Notice that I said to add things you’d like to accomplish in the upcoming week, not just the day. We aren’t setting expectations, just clear goals. It gives you a list of options on how to spend your time. It’ll help you focus on tasks you‘be already outlined as important.

You can look back on what you accomplished when you make your next list. Anything that wasn’t completed can be written in your next list if it still needs to be done.

It can also be helpful to write about how you felt that day or how you felt about completing certain tasks. I use a day rating system to track my mood throughout the month.

I hope this helps you out. I know it’s a lot of information. At the end of the day, just make sure to write about things that are important to you. In my case, time management and productivity are important. If you’re focused more on your thoughts and feelings, be sure to focus more on that in your writing.

J Z.
I feel starting your day by writing your to do list is really important and also writing about how u feel in the end of the day is good too
Just asking yourself how are u really doing and writing it down is a good way to acknowledge they way you feel and I think a good way for validating your emotions.
Maya Y.
A simple yet effective thing that I write about is affirmations. They help me to make my day better they make me feel better and stronger inside. They also give me the strength and the willpower to keep being sober. I love to journal and I love to write about things that inspire me in good ways and ways to help me stay sober and strong.
Kayla P.
Write what you’re grateful for. The sun beaming through your window? Maybe the smile your family gives you when you arrive at the breakfast table in the morning? The traffic-free road to work because you went the country route this morning?
L Andre Z.
How you feel as soon as you wake up using all your senses. What you can see around/outside, the first thing you hear that's not an alarm, a scent that reaches your nose, can you still taste the toothpaste from the night before or your hair if it's been in your mouth by mistake in the night and also what you can physically feel. This should help move onto thoughts and emotions generally.
Thea Q.
Try to reflect on your thoughts. You can look back on what was written and notice how you view the world. Try not to judge your thoughts. If you get to caught up with blaming yourself for thinking such bad things, it’ll make it much worse. Accept the thought, and write it down anyway. I also recommend writing down self affirmations. There are many studies that show that it helps with self worth and confidence. You can also do this by repeating positive affirmations in the mirror. ☺️
Asad N.
It can be your initial morning thoughts that can be disturbing and shady, which pose a negative outcome later for the day ahead. Also it is strongly recommended to correct the pattern in mind or log so just what was wrong in thinking could be channeled.
Aureliza Q.
A simple way to write daily as per me is . how I spent my day , what were the learning points of the day , and also what mistakes I made so that I don't repeat them again.
Tobias G.
I think that writing a high and a low of the day is effective also writing important details from your day. I write whatever feels right. I like to rate my day as well.
Mads W.
It is great to do an abstract of your day or if in the morning the previous day, you recall some stuff you already had forgoten and also you will fell pleased by the victories of the day , even if in a bad day you will learn form it
Sara N.
I have tought about that too but I think that you can write some good and nice things about your day and tell how you feel
Lillie S.
How your day went, even if it’s not the greatest. Why? Everyday is a memory we either cherish or forget but both of them we will miss the slightest details as it always becomes a blur. This is why some people record it via film or phone to remember, but do only for the happiest moments. But I’d recommend at the end of the night, sit down and write. Your experience can help someone tomorrow, how to overcame a challenge even those ugly middle moments before your breakthrough. It will also help you as you’re expressing yourself and your feelings.
M Lody T.
Paying gratitude could be one. A lot of times we keep looking at everything but what we are blessed with. Paying gratitude helps us reflect on our achievements, success and good things in life that we might ignore in the busy world.
Rebekah P.
what your goals are for the day. Not for the future. Not something that you’re trying to make up from the past. But what you can do right now at this very moment to better yourself and get yourself in a better spot than you were five minutes ago.
Francine J.
How you felt that day, and maybe the greatest accomplishment/ thing that happens that day. When you read back to that in a few months or years you will have memories that let’s you remember that your life has been fun everyday.
Thibault Y.
The thoughts and feelings that situations cause. How I can go about changing the outcome of things, by taking a moment to check and calm.
Magliane A.
You thoughts, feelings, and emotions are a great things to write about daily. A daily gratitude log is great and journal about positive things and emotions is a great way to get into a positive mindset
Janelle X.
How you are feeling and your accomplishments! Anything that you are proud of or goals your close to achieving! Things that make you happy or that you are thankful for!
Ralph O.
Feelings. If I just write about my feelings, I can come up with other things too! The easiest way is to write "today was fine/not good etc." and then add other feelings to it.
Freddie C.
You can start with the morning and what you remember and just carry on throughout the day, and remember you are not writing for a audience so write down all emotions as well.
Eilin P.
I usually find myself writing the most about what made the day memorable or something that happened that made me happy, other than that I mostly journal to keep track of things: food, exercise, house admin tasks. I might be a bit addicted to habit tracking journals!
Mahi Z.
Write about your day, your whole day, every single thing you can possibly recall, whether good, exciting, loving, bad anything! It helps you realise how much productive you've been that day or how much you're growing! You may not remember what you did three days ago in the afternoon, but when you write it down at the end of each day, you put effort to recall the whole day, it improves your learning power of brain and helps you getting to know yourself better. And if possible, like me, always maintain a journal and write in it everyday, I know some days are busy af, but don't wuit writing, even a single line will do for such days but make an effort id you really really wanna live your life, and not just exist. Over the tine, you may not realise but your eng vocabulary and grammar also improves and it becomes a lot lot lot more easier to to write essays, letters, messages, mails, documents for school, uni, work or whatever. You suddenly become a pro version of yourself and that's when you feel like you're living 'the perfect life, you've always wanted'. Just think baout when years later you'll go through your old diaries, journals and randomly read a page, you will be soo happy that you wrote about it and maybe in future you'll read out your everyday experiences to your youbger generations, if you wanna, and trust me it will also help them a lot in their life, like really a lot.
L Andre T.
You could write about your favorite saying or "mantra" and how it pertains to your life. Write it over and over again until you can't forget it. This will guide your mind set to attract those things in your life. And will keep you focused on those goals. Another thing you could write about is how you felt that day. Its important to continuously check in on yourself and your emotional being. Its an act of self care and self love, and you deserve that. Writing down you feelings may seem silly at first but its a great way to get introspective about your thoughts and feelings and it will eventually help you be more empathetic and able to help others more effectively in the long run.
Luke Z.
About my mental health and how to love myself and ensure trust in myself. I can’t be there for other people and have the love and life I want without being able to show up for myself. I also can’t expect people to do that fire me.
Gon Alo N.
A good thing I like to write about daily Is how I have spent my day and main points for the next day then the next day I read what’s I was meant to do and I start doing them and I always get them done 😊
Jennifer Z.
The thoughts that I can’t stop thinking and want a break from. I give them their time and space outside of my head. Then turn the page.
Edilene C.
Am I working on the house more regularly? Are simple chores being attended to? Starting with small steps first, then add another habit the next week. How do I feel? Am I taking good care of myself? Am I spending less to ensure I have enough money to live on? How many hours am I putting into my business? Is it all coming together?
Alexandra S.
Thanks for the question! I sometimes struggle with not knowing what to write as well. What I recommend is to keep it simple. Write about your life! It’s the most beautiful thing out there. Your day, week, month, year, all of it. Hope that helps!
Alexa T.
Personally, my medication I take will make me throw it all up plus the water I've drank if I don't eat something in the morning. But other than that I think of what my reaction is to my loved ones not feeding myself and then realise I should love myself just as much as I love them. Which means I need to take care of myself and eat each morning.❤️
Liya E.
Your achievements for the day. This applies if you write your journal in the evenings or at night. Any little thing you did that makes you feel proud and pleased can go into your journal. This reinforces your strength and gives you a sense of accomplishment which increase the amount of serotonin
Arohi F.
I think that writing about my goals for the day in the morning is the most effective thing to write about because it makes your mind clear about what to do and you are no more in a confusing situation. For example my main goal for the day is to complete chapter 1st of genetics. So I am definitely going to do it. So now I am not in confusion anymore about what to do or how to to do because I have already figured out and now I have to just keep working in a way to achieve my goal and I will end up being very productive and happy through the day .
Allie N.
A simple yet effective thing to write about every day would be your feelings. You could do it when you're feeling something big, or before bed so you can reflect on the day. Writing always helps me process my emotions, because my thoughts are always so scrambled in my brain. And I can’t always voice them correctly. So when I have a pen and paper, it all just comes out fluently. I know that no one can read it (without my permission) so it is a safe place that I can always come back to. It’s also interesting to look at previous journal entries to see what was happening back then, how I felt, and see how much I’ve grown.
Luke P.
Your feelings, how did you feel today? What made you feel that way and what could you do to change the outcome If you are unhappy
Khoa G.
I think the most effective thing is one small goal or productive item that you plan to achieve today. This help as even if the day goes by really quick. You still get the work and celebration for completing that one small step forward.
Tronq N.
A to do list! It can be just simple dot points done in around 10mins or so. Perfect to make the next day a productive day and create hobbies to ourselves.
Simone S.
To write about how you are feeling at the end of the day with everything you accomplished that day. It holds you accountable and reflect on what may be holding you back. If your day was as productive as you hoped when you are reflecting, you will remember the feeling of achievement at the end of the day and will want to have the same feeling at the end of the next day.
Molly P.
The things I complain about, and the things I want for my future, the things you like, your hobbies and just scenarios you imagine being true.
Michelle O.
You can pull a daily tarot card and write about how you think it will play out for the day, or how it fits in your life currently.
Kai F.
How your day was, doesn’t matter if it was a sad day or a good day, vent, pour your emotions out, reflect, when you go back through all that stuff you will feel emotional. That’s a good thing.
Kristin P.
My emotional feelings! Writing my feelings down daily will allow me to release emotions that don’ doesn’t serve me. It will be a reminder to release and not hold on to any emotion that is out of alignment with who I am!
Claudio N.
I write a list of the things that make me feel bad, and then I try to write an equally long list of the things I appreciate about my life at that moment, what makes me comfortable. In this way my problems are clearer to me, therefore more solvable, and I develop gratitude for what I have.
Isabella Y.
The best thing(s) in that day and the worst thing(s) in that day. Try to get out all of the things that were making you angry, sad or worried and let go of them. Focus on the happy things, the feelings of joy, of love and of excitement. Let those good things set the tone for tomorrow.
Steven F.
One important thing is writing about projects that we have for the future. For example: travels, places to visit, things to do…
Something else is the things that we are grateful for. For example our family, or our friends, or an experience that we have made…
Quinn J.
Simple things you want to get done that day could be one option, I like doing that. Sometimes I just sit and write about a topic I like as well. It can be something important or just small things you like. For example one day I wrote about coffees I have tried, what I want to try and how I prefer different ones.
E N.
I like to make lists, especially when I’m too tired to write full sentences. So, I make lists of the things that made me happy today. Tiny things and big. For example, I saw a flock of pigeons today and it made me smile. I also felt supported at work, which made me happy. One small, one big, and you get to reflect on all the smile-worthy moments of the day.
Marice E.
You can write about what you have learned or what you’re grateful for. Maybe a small win you had today or even just how you’re feeling.
Francine J.
To be honest at the beginning it can be vey challenging however you have to prepare you mind to get up even if you dont want to after a couple of times you will get used to it and it would be easier hope this helps ps you could play something in the background making the experience much more better
Hayam N.
Thoughts. Small ones. Seemingly insignificant ones. Silly ones. Mundane ones. Just write about a collection of things you thought about that day. Or just focus on one thought and reflect on it. It helps you focus on what your thinking and can even assure that you have happier thoughts in general
Isabel C.
It’s good to write down the thoughts you have had during the day if you’re writing at night. Write especially about your negative feelings to release them. You could also analyze why they come up. If it’s in the morning, it’d be a good idea to write about your intentions for the day or jow you woke up feeling.
Madison F.
I have found that writing down 3 things I’m grateful for and 3 small goals for the day helps me tremendously to start my day on the right track. When I first started writing in a journal, I started very small with just the things I’m thankful for and 1 small goal, such as make my bed or eat breakfast. Gradually over time I added to it.
Charlotte G.
I consider humans to be very emotional creatures, so no matter the situation any one person is going to feel something. Focusing on what emotions you feel, or felt, during the day is one thing anyone can journal about daily. Not only does this give you something to journal about but it also encourages inward reflection.
Isra X.
Hi, I think the mistake simple yet effective thing to write about daily, as cliche as it sounds Ian to write about three things you aren’t grateful for every morning. I find this helps you focus on the simplicities of life and reminds you that you still have so much and not everything is hopeless. Similarly, at the end of the day, you can write about three good things that he ave he happened to today, big or small. It’ll help you filter out the bad thoughts and and remind yourself you still have much to look forward to.
Rida A.
Write about your daily feelings after completing your habits and compare these feelings to those you were feeling when not doing the good habits. This will motivate you and help you build self-discipline.
Anshika O.
Write daily is dimple because it will take more to more 20 to 30 mins and these 20 to 30 mins for your self gives you confidence and happiness. I suggest to write happy things and proud things in your journal and few motivational quotes small but effective that suits you is best.😌 My favourite quote is I HAVE A POWER TO CREATE A CHANGE.
Yes i have!!
Rafael Z.
You can literally write about and you want. It doesn't matter if it's about how your day was, or what your favorite color is. As long as it helps you reflect, then it's already effective
Margita B.
I think we should always write about our daily affirmations and goals, I think it helps give us more courage to go for it.
Benjamin W.
What you are gratitude about for that day, no matter how little. This shift your focus from being overwhelmed or anxious. Those little miracles are worth celebrating
Alexa T.
A thing writing daily affirmations and things you like about yourself and repeating them so they get stuck in your head or writing a journal or anything like a diary 🙂
Tristan W.
Writing about how each day goes is important because it helps you keep track of your progress and to see whether you’re improving or not. Another important thing to write about are you’re goals and aims this pushes you to not give up and continue fighting
Maya Y.
A simple thing to write about daily is the weather and how the weather makes you feel. Do you like the weather today? Does it remind you of anything?
S L Ne E.
Gratefulness, to write down at least one thing you’re grateful about each day makes you think about other things you’re grateful for that day. Remember that it doesn’t have to be anything big, it could be anything and you can also write down the same thing the day after if it’s consistent but once you’ve started you will always be able to find at least one new thing each day to be grateful for.
Leon Z.
Think of life as a baby although it may be overwhelming you will soon begin to walk and run like the others , baby steps first in order to achieve your goals.
Ruperto P.
I think it is helpful to write three things you are grateful for each day. I also like to write about what went well in the day as something to look back on. If I have a lot on my mind or are feeling emotional, I will work that out through writing, and it usually helps me feel better.
Othmar T.
Your emotions and feelings, in order to understand what makes you happy in life and what you should change to feel better in your lifestyle
Winter O.
My goals for the day and if I achieved it. Possibly how my mental and physical health has been the day. How my mood has been the entire day, if I was really awake and happy or very tired and moody the whole day.
Owen C.
I personally like writing about things that I learned throughout the day, like little pieces of information from books or tips for cooking. I also like writing about what I want to learn more about the next day
Kimberly B.
How you have been feeling and any situations that may be bothering you. That way you are being able to get everything you need and want off of your chest.
Caitlyn S.
A simple and effective thing to write about in my opinion would just be about my day because you’re getting all of it off your chest by writing it down what you did that day and it helps me sleep better too.
Sadie Z.
Personally I like to ask myself about my emotions everyday. How I feel, how that emotions makes my body feel, new habits or goals, and what rewards will I giver myself for improvement.
Natalie N.
You have to be the one to decide what the right amount is for you. Eat when you are hungry and stop when you are full. If you obsess over portions or what you’re eating then it will be more stressful than nourishing. Hope this helps. You’ve got this! ❤️
Rebecca T.
A simple but effective thing to write about daily is just how it went. Be honest and reflect on the day. Reflecting can help you pick out something you did not like in that day, and can help you change it to be better.
Anoushka P.
A simlple yet effective thing to write about daily is your mood. It is something that fluctuates daily and even a few times in the day. I feel that writing about your mood and then reading it later makes you realize about the things that affect you the most and the ones that affect you the least. You can write just one line in the ending about your overall mood in the day. Then, when you read it someday in the future, you can understand how you used to feel earlier and how you feel now. Just one simple line can be so effective.
Margaret Y.
Definitely Your motivation. it is proven this if you speak good about yourself you begin to think better about yourself so always say something nice about yourself in your journal and talk about your struggles and make plans to overcome them I hope this helps!!
Haylee Z.
Something that I feel is simple yet effective to write about each day, is your morning. What did you do? How did you feel? Was there anything new that happened? Was there anything that you hadn’t noticed before? Writing about your morning or even your afternoon or evening can be a great reflective exercise and can release a lot of tension from the day.
Gabrielle Q.
Answer the question, how are you? It’s so simple but gives you the opportunity to really explore how you’re feeling and to untangle those emotions. I found the 7 day journaling challenge really helped me, and the letters gave me some great journaling prompts.
Karen J.
Absolutely black nostalgia anything you have deep inside you it’s better if you only use one paper to write things that hurts you write them over each other so you can’t even read them anymore
Astrid G.
In my opinion writing about our current feelings is the best idea. Just relax and let yourself write everything you think of. It’s like you want to write a book. You are the protagonist and all your thoughts are to be read by someone.
Iona P.
Personally, I used that time to get off my chest any feelings I have. Whether it is a burden or a unstoppable bliss, I write them down daily for I found that not saying it was weighing me down.
Alexa T.
gratitude. being grateful for things can make you feel better as well as other people. forgiveness and compassion is key. mental health is soo soo important.
Emma S H.
It really helps to write write about your emotions, physical health and goals because it help keep you calm, productive and honestly doing before bed it helpful, so your away from electronics which helps you sleep and happy to write down. But if your creative like me, it also can begun to write an idea or story which improves your imagination, and imagination is key to bringing you happiness and keep your brain going. So yes writing in my opinion is essential and brilliant.
Nicklas B.
How grateful I am for everything I have. Currently there’s been a lot of issues with the Afghanistan and children and women are trying to live the country so they can live a normal life. I saw videos of things that I thought that would never be done. Therefore, I am grateful for the life I have, every little thing. I am grateful for living in a country that allows me to have an education and to chase my goals. I am grateful for the family and friends that I have, for the food on the table every single day, for the roof that I have over my head that protects me and so much more…
Leah I.
How I am thinking throughout the day. Where my mental state is and where I can find happiness. Seeing what I can do with that extra time instead of watching tv.
Rhonda Z.
write about your day, how you felt in certain situations. You can also write about things you're grateful for that day. But really, about ANYTHING, even trivial things, let things out.
Naya X.
Simply, your thoughts, whatever crosses your mind. It could be about dinner and it could be about how mentally youre feeling. Write what u want, there are no particular rules ❤️
Touched O.
Go slow with stretching out sore spots. Don’t bounce while stretching either, you could hurt yourself. Also if you have a foam roller use that at a slow pace. It helps work out the tension and knots in your muscles
Benny E.
Gratitude and whatever the things that you are concerned of or worried about + why those are important for you to concern/worry
Brinkli C.
Just go through the day, you could make it intricate by writing how you felt in each situation or just what happened, and what you did.
Lauren N.
A review of your day so you can take the time to think over your actions. This enables you to both commend yourself for things done right, and learn from your mistakes to strategize for the next day.
Jean F.
I find that in my journal entries i reflect on the quote of the day by thinking about moments in my day/highlights that relate to where I am at and how I feel about the quote of the day
Gana U.
How you feel, you should write about how you feel because it helps you not to overthink things and helps you with how you comfort yourself.
Earl P.
I think using quotes that can often relate to people. A deeper understanding of something. Ask questions like “what is an obstacle you have over come” and that gets people thinking about their life and processing it. It can get people to process something they didn’t even know they needed to. It will also help by bringing up memories that maybe that had forgotten. Another one could be something like this “how would you feel being you friend” this can help people reflect on how they treat people in their life and if they think they should do better or not. How we treat the people we are closest to in life is important. This will help build better and stronger relationships which are very important.

I think it is really helpful to write about the things you're thankful for, or the things you're looking forward to. They can be big or small things. Try to have them pertain to you though, because it's easier to write about something you are passionate about.
Nichole N.
If you can not think of anything to write about, start with what you are grateful for. If I journal in the morning, I do what the author of The Artist’s Way, Julia Cameron calls a brain dump! It’s where you write 2-3 pages of whatever is in your mind-first thing in the morning.

How life is going?
What issues I endured today?
How I handled or resolved that issue.
Did you solve or pass the problem.
What can you do to make you feel better about the situation
Belinda Z.
I am grateful for my eyes 👀 because I can see the beautiful mornings every day. I am grateful 😇 so happy for my hands 🙌 that I can hold my beloved partner and dance with him. I love him with all my heart. I am grateful for being able to feel the temperature of water 💦 in my body when I shower 🚿. For being able to notice the smell of soap 🧼. I am grateful for my nose 👃 that I can smell the freshly of cleaning 🧹 house and fresh washer clothes. And also fresh washdishes.
I am so happy and grateful to hear the laughters of my children and my fiancé Randy Barnes Jr. I am thankful to the Lord for bringing so much greenery and abundance into my life. I wouldn't have it if it wasn't for the Lord. I am thankful that I am grateful to have faith to help others.
Sara F.
Well depends on the day,on good days even in normal ok days gratitude really help to feel better . however when you feel lost I like doing shadow work,it is type of journalling that helps dealing with darker emotions
Francine J.
Something that I’ve recently done is to write the things you are grateful of. It’s really neat to write it in bullet points also with some doodles!
Laurora Y.
Hi!!! I don’t really know what is my favourite book, I think that the book that I enjoyed the most was School Of Good And Evil. Thank you very much for the question <3
Mira Z.
Well there’s the obvious answers like things you’re grateful about or positive affirmations or the most important tasks of the day. But i think one thing that is often overlooked is just communicating with yrslf. Communication is one of the most important aspects of any rlsp even with yrslf, it provides validation clearance and reassurance. So i think reminding yourself that youre doibg great everyday, or voicing what u want to do better/more often etc. is a really effective way to better your lifestyle and learn more about yourself.

What’s been good in the day because when you write about what has been good it allows you to know what to be thankful of and that your whole body is concentrated on the good things that happened that day you just forget the bad things it just follows away from you and the day is better already.
Priyanka W.
Affirmations. They are great way to begin your journal. Usually i write about what i see. At first it sounds hard if you don't go out often but it's not that bad. Describe your room, house, garden. Random strangers you saw. I did this for weeks. The first few entries look like a toodler wrote it but now I'm in love with it. Sorry if I couldn't help
Katherine O.
The better person you wish to become. Realize the steps you need to take to achieve that and this may help your path become more clear
Salma Y.
What you want to accomplish that day. It is very simple because there are only so many hours in a day, and most times you go into a day with an idea of what you want to do. It is also effective because you get a chance to organize your priorities and you can create a plan of what you want to get done so your day won’t be wasted.
Alexa T.
I feel like keeping track of your overall mood for the day is an effective thing to write about. then it’s nice to look back and see if you’re improving overall
Juliana A.
Your mood and why you feel this way. You can see what triggers which mood and either avoid it (if it’s bad) or go to/do it more often (if it’s good).
Pauline O.
It is best to write about what I want to pray to my father in heaven about. My concerns, my fears, my weaknesses, and the desires of my heart. If I add that to the things im grateful for. Then the next step is to pray about all of those things. Then listen to what comes to my mind and heart.
Renske N.
If you want to write about something, write about what you are grateful for.
Otherwise, just write. Write with no purpose. Write with no intention of reading, write with your ugliest handwriting. Write 3 pages full. You’ll be amazed the things that come up. Paper has no judgement. It is healing and freeing to write like this. It’s called Morning Pages. I can really recommend this!
Olivia M.
For me there are two things that I find effective to write about. One, is how I’m feeling on that moment. This helps me to acknowledge my feeling, and do little check-ins on my self. Another simple yet great thing to write about would be goals. Everyday I would recommend making three small goats for yourself when you journal or write. It can be something smaller, like making sure you drink water, or something bigger, like cleaning your room. Whatever this size of the goal, it’ll take very little time to write down, but helps to shape your day.
Rahajeng P.
Dear me…

The society talks a lot about how important it is to have empathy for the people around you. But very often, we forget to empathize ourself. Sometimes a day goes just by like that : fast, tiring, demanding, burying our feelings in order to just get things done. But at the end of the day, don't you think you could have maybe done better? Like empathizing yourself more? Were you actually happy? Did you sleep well? Eat well? Did you tell someone about what you actually felt instead of just nodding and smiling? Be with yourself and listen well. Maybe it needs to live more rather than just living up to the world's expectations.

You deserve to be loved, to be heard, to be understood

Chloe N.
I like to write at the end of my day and just talk about what I did that day and what I would want to remember if I looked back on it.
Mj N.
I always try to write down what I’m grateful for. I write about what I did get right instead of always focusing on what I did wrong or didn’t accomplish. I’m grateful that I get second chances and that I’m never starting over from scratch. There are always benefits to the stops and starts. Lessons I’ve learned and hope I can cultivate.
Wyatt Q.
Write about yourself. How well you’re progressing. It helps you keep track of yourself AND your emotions. If you’re looking for something more simpler, opt to just write about your day or any reoccurring patterns/thoughts you experienced!
Touched O.
I listen the meditation music from YouTube. There is plenty of different guided meditation in various languages. Or there is a great app called Law of attraction with bunch of meditations🧘🏽‍♀️ and affirmations.
Camila N.
How your day has been, it helps you reflect on the things you have done or what you wish you would have done. It’s nice to have something written down so you can maybe better something in your daily routine.
Milo G.
I love to write all the things I think in a piece of paper or either in the phone notes because it makes me feel free from something I got stuck in my brain
James Y.
A few simple yet effective things to write about daily would be the following: things you are grateful for, what you did that day and what was your favorite part, and some major things you want to get done tomorrow or the rest of the week:)!
Sing Y.
Write a quote that you can abide by like when it rains look for the rainbow when it’s dark look for the stars this means that even though it’s a bad thing, you still look in the brighter side of things 🙂
Claire S.
I like the idea of having a post-it reminding me to ask myself “what could you do do to feel the way you want?”.

That makes me more conscious about how I feel, and instead of being reactive to whatever life throws at me, it helps me finding the actions I can take towards feeling the way I want.

H Dieter U.
Write about being grateful, about the love in your life and what goes right. About what you enjoy, about the people you love and care about. Write positive affirmations, write what ever keeps you from living life to the fullest, write what’s on your mind, what blocks you to shine.
Josue P.
Your goals, something that you really want to achieve. It’ll keep you motivated to go and do what you gotta do to achieve that goal.
Meags T.
What can we Write about daily could be a journal entry on one thing I would like to accomplish for the day. Sit down and … sit down? Sit down, you don’t have time to sit down! You’ve got to get up Up UP na smoke love Move. But wit think about this, isn’t it more effective to take a moment before the day begins and checking to the fabulous app. Drink you’re water, eat the well nutritious breakfast and write in your fabulous journal. Go through the motions. This will help you’re day go as planned and better handle the unexpected. Follow the motions and routine being created and set forth. Climb the mountain… with the appropriate steps and access to appropriate equipment along the way.
Fabiane S.
I write about my state of mind, my mental health, as I need to know how well I am before I can start to help anyone else. I'm doing fine just now but I continue to meditate with deep breathing every day and write a diary of what is going on in my life.
Aesha N.
Write your progress throughout the day. I carry my iPhone which has a notepad. I write my morning thought afternoon finish in the evening.
Flora E.
a smile yet effective thing to write about daily is whatever your thinking and feeling. this can get somethings off your mind and if the future you can looks back on it and remember what you were going through and feeling and see how much you’ve changed
Ana F.
How are you feeling today?
Think about a person who makes you happy, a situation where you are feeling comfortable, a thing you enjoy to watch. How do you feel at this moment? Write about this and you will have a reminder that everything is going to be okay.
Carmen Z.
I think that if you write about things you hold dear, even if it isn’t real is best to write about. You’ll feel special about having them so it’ll get you up to great confidence. Thank you for asking!!!
Kaitlin P.
For me something simple but very effective I right about in my journal every day is being thankful to have an outlet, even if it’s just a journal, to write my feelings down. And I always write about my significant other who is helping me with my issues
Devynn N.
How your day was, the ups and downs. Things you accomplished and are proud of. And the bad things, so you can work on improving them
Efrosini P.
I love writing an everyday emotional check up. Is easy to track your progress and find something that might bothers you and then fixing it. Also is nice to search for inspiration like quotes or just something that comes to your mind . Is important to let yourself free while writing and just be you
From J.
Plan tomorrow's day! It helps me a lot! Or u could write your feelings or track them in an app. For pc; coffee mood and for phone; mood potatoes! Enjoy😊 and i hoped that i helped

“To succeed in life, you need two things: ignorance and confidence.” – Mark Twain
To start off this list of success quotes from history, let’s go start with a funny one. It is a little bit humorous but also deadly serious. A trait that sums up much of Mark Twain's writing. (He is among the famous people who kept journals.)

Confidence is certainly one of the keys to achieving any measurable success. But ignorance actually can have its place. People who achieve those incredible levels of success that people make not of and talk about often also need to gamble to achieve their success. They take risks, they fight long odds and they overcome them. This is wonderful and motivating, but could any sane person face such odds if they were not a little bit ignorant of what they were facing?

Lewis N.
How your day was. you can reflect on what you did right and what you did wrong and it makes it easier to make better choices in the future
Anna N.
That tiny thought that appeared in your mind at some point today – the deeper one amongst daily trivial worries and duties. Try to elaborate it a bit more, a few sentences are enough. Useful for your inner growth and effective against the blank page too
Alexa T.
a question that would help jumpstart the day would be something along the lines of "what will today bring?" or "how can i improve myself today?"
Destinee J.
Your childhood. It helps to express even the most traumatic things in your writing because you have your feelings out in the air, yet only you and your journal heard them
Rani R.
I write about how I feel in this moment, for example…." Am I proud of my decisions and my feelings of myself today, so far?" The Answer: Yes, I would like to improve my productivity and my self admiration. I would like to feel better about myself and all of my choices I have made up to this point. I want to give myself credit for the hardships I have endured and conquered. I CAN do this….one step, one day, one obstacle at a time.
Olivia Z.
All of the things you did that day, no matter how big or small. You brushed your teeth? Write it down. You did the dishes? Write it down. I find that when I'm having a day where I did nothing and I feel completely useless, I can look back in my writing and be reminded of all the stuff I've done in the past. Existing every day is difficult, and simply getting out of bed is something that should be celebrated. It's okay if you didn't do anything today, you did something yesterday. Or you did something the day before. It's okay to take breaks, as long as your breaks don't hurt you. You could even list the things you did in bullet points if it's easier or you like doing it that way. Personally, I describe each thing I did and make small notes about it in my journal, but sometimes when I'm tired/sad I resort to the bullet points so I can keep myself sane 🙂
Expedito P.
Just writing about your daily thoughts and actions is good. When I’m not doing well, I’ll type out exactly what I’m thinking. You could do that every day if you wanted to.
Maya Y.
Write about a memorable experience you had that day and describe it in great detail, mention who was there and how it made you feel. Pull it apart, and make it surreal even. Just make sure you understand your emotions in that moment
Uta J.
Something I achieve everyday. It gives me a direct look at my progress and provides me with encouragement to keep on going.
I C.
Summarizing you're day is simple yet effective. You can also write about what you're grateful or a goal you have for today
Gabby B.
Your emotions, thoughts, and feelings from that day. Be detailed! It truly gives you the opportunity to think, process, and voice what happened in a safe place. Highly recommend!
Franklin Q.
A simple yet affective thing to write about is…for me why you love yourself. Just a few things a day that signify that you love yourself
Cathy N.
Probably giving yourself self credit. Writing out how you’re proud or maybe disappointed in yourself. But always pay more to the proud part. Feelings are very important to journal out, and just like Anne Lister, writing out every little detail is a key to keeping your thoughts organized!
Casey N.
I love using insight planners which have prompts in them. Some people find gratitude journaling effective, other people just like to brain dump. It really depends on the person. Try and figure out what you need and journal about that. For me, I need something that forces me to reflect on how I feel about the events around me, as im going through life changes at the moment. For you it might be a therapeutic journal, or something more productivity oriented. Find what you need and use your journal as a tool to help you do that.
Baldemar C.
I have found that writing about what I’m grateful for is the easiest starting point. Sometimes coming up with something challenges me but I force myself to find something. On a challenging day, this often leads to a longer journal entry about what’s bugging me, and allows me to write through my feelings. I have found that starting with gratitude changes my mindset over the course of a few weeks of doing it. Because my default setting is to notice what’s wrong. This forces me to notice what’s right.
Edwyn N.
Describe in one sentence the best version of your self in every area of your life!. Financial, spirituality, professional, familial,recreational, emotionally , you can add if you wan think
Breno A.
Write about your life. Journal about it and thank the universe for everything. Another simple thing is that you can write about how things in your past have affected you and your thinking now. Has it helped? Try to improve those things. (If ur unhappy with them)
Gen N.
Write something you deeply care about, something you think about 24/7, something that excites you…somehow it just makes you happy, something you are strongly passionate about, and something you love so much you’ll die for it for any reason. Write something that interestss you, that intrigues you to write more.
Fateme R.
Hello there! In my lifestyle gratitude and to do‘s are the most effective things write in my journal. I feel good and organized at the same time. I hope it helps you.
Jovina Q.
I think to write down your current gratitudes, the parts of you that is already strong an 3 things you want to accomplish.
Wyatt Y.
the little things that you enjoyed in your day. For example the weather or waving at a stranger. Anything that made you smile
Br Ulio C.
I find that something I like to think and write about daily are my dreams and goals in life. See, everyday is a new opportunity to be better than yesterday and earn a small victory in whatever it is that you want to develop.
Clarence S.
My thoughts about what happens through the day even if it’s just about a song I was listening to or a video I saw or sumthing someone said to me
Millie Z.
A simple yet effective thing to write about daily is:
How your feeling
What is new about you
What's happening in your life
Johanne A.
My current mood and how I'm feeling like today I'm on my period and k feel really sick due to my cramps and stuff and I feel like I dont feel like doing anything but I still have to do it and I should note down my mood mor often
Fateme R.
In my opinion the most important things are gratitude (in order not to forget what good things we have) and to do’s. I hope it works for you.
Rabea E.
I think the best thing to write about everyday is how you feel and what you are grateful for today. This helps you to discover yourself and to realize that there is something good everyday.
Alli F.
Anything. When I say that, I mean it with death. All of the thoughts that are racing through your mind, whether it be: everything you need to get done that day, appointments or events coming up that you need to set reminders for, stuff at work.. anything. Putting it all down on paper, I especially like to categorize mine, breaking to do list down into tasks (it helps me stay on track). Because my mind is constantly racing, I forget things all the time, or I get anxious at all forget about some thing. Writing things down can help ease your mind because now you have them all written out in front of you and you don’t have to worry about forgetting. Another way that I have found it to be helpful, I see it as a similar thing to those times where a thought is driving you crazy, until you finally get to say it out loud and feel that relief. Writing it down can give you that relief because it doesn’t have to stay in your head anymore.
Taylor E.
I answer 4 questions right before I go to bed.
"What am I grateful for today?" and "What did I get done today?" strengthen skills of positive reflection and end my day on a good note.
"What would I do differently next time?" gives me an opportunity to flex a growth mindset and critique my day in a healthy way.
"What's on my mind right now?" gives me an opportunity to write down any challenges, anxieties, or ideas I think of, putting aside for tomorrow anything that might otherwise keep me awake.
Francine J.
what your goals for the future are. if you reflect more and more on them you will be more likely to achieve them. they can help spill your internal thoughts into new ideas you’ve never thought of
Caroline U.
Simple thing to write about daily? I think it would be . . . Basically a summary of what i did that day, what i liked…what i enjoyed… what i didn’t enjoy… stuff like that!
Bea G.
A simple yet effective thing to write about daily, for me, is thinking about what I’m grateful for. There is always one thing, or more even, which can help spark more ideas to write down!
Beanie O.
Write something you are going to do that productive. Write a kind message to yourself and a kind word about yourself. Write your goal for today. Write a paragraph on how you want to shape your day.
Daria R.
The simplies and the most important thing to write about daily is the way you are feeling , how you started the day how you think it will be and just focus on beeing happy and just FOCUS
Lezly Z.
I am just starting to write, it seems that when I do; I do my best to write my intentions; keeping it positive, and then Im honest ti myself to point out habits that I must work on that might be slowing me down to reach my intentions in the correct mindset. Once in a while I write down my inner goals like maturely training my perspective. It helps to see your own progress.
Merna N.
how you feel. because i personally feel one of the most important quality in a person is emotional intelligence. i believe that gaining emotional intelligence is by writing and reading and really considering and thinking abt who u are what u want and how do you really feel at the moment. identifying ur emotions is crucial
Savvy Rose H.
How you’re feeling! When you write about your feelings you can reflect on them and better understand them and why you feel the way you do.
Kristi T.
I find writing in the evening (preferably before laying down to sleep) in a cozy, quiet and faamilir place to be the optimal time and setting. Something simple, yet extremely effevtive, to write about is to simply reflect upon your day. Let anything that enters your mind about your day exit throuth the pen or pencil in your hand…don't try to control or manipulate the words those thoughts bring to the paper/journal in front of you…just let them flow. Simply write for yourself…no need for everything to look or sound a specific way.
Read over everything you wrote. You'll likely find yourself surprised or moved by what you've written once you truly read and take it all in.
Finally, jot something down about what you noticed. Are there things that stand out to you in a way that motivate you to change tomorrow? Things you realize you took for granted or are proud of and would like to continue to perfect? Sometimes, there may be no reaction at all. That's okay, too!
You get to know yourself better over time by doing this consistently…and it's amazing to be able to read again several years later to see how far you've come and/or how much further you'd like to go!
Jeanne C.
How I feel, what am I thinking and what is the event reminding me of. And then write a prayer at the final and ask for grace.
Earl Q.
Write about your day mostly you doing things you love write down how you felt when something happened to you during your day.
Francine J.
I believe a simple and effective thing to write about daily is how you feel. Your current emotions are important and good to note down so that you can understand and become better aware of what you feel.
Orkida V.
Writing out your emotions and how fulfilled you felt throughout the day. It should take no less than ten minutes to complete but it can be very beneficial for your mental health. In doing so, you have to remember what you did throughout the day, what emotions you felt, and how you reacted to those emotions. If you had a bad day, you can reflect on what happened that made your day bad
