Close your eyes, think back to a song, hum and listen intentionally to the memory that comes to your mind. Gently call to it, go deeper, follow the journey through time then pick up your favorite pen and create the scene you just saw developing. Allow the story to unfold page after page in your recently selected special journal. Take a sip from your tea or wine or seltzer with sliced orange pieces, breathe deeply at the count of 1, 2, 3, 4. in and out, in and out …

In reply to Julia. For me, the biggest source of joy and motivation is the pen I use. I’m rather picky about what I write with as it makes all the difference! I love my Muji 0.38mm pens and have several different colors. While I do have a dedicated journal for writing, I also write in my calendar daily, which has large spaces every day to write. I love your 2 minute rule!

These are amazing tips! I would love to add one that I learned from Atomic Habits by James Clear which is the two-minute rule, which states the new habit should take less than two minutes to do. An example he gave was doing yoga - instead of shooting for 30 minutes, scale it down to simply rolling the mat out. So if 15 minutes of writing sounds like too much, shoot for taking out the journal and pen, maybe writing down the date, and one sentence if you can. Alongside finding a journal that looks and feels nice, a good pen or pencil also does wonders! My 0.5mm Uni Jetstream has filled dozens of pages. Thank you for this article BG
