Journal Prompts · For the Hard Days

For the Hard Days.

For the days when you don't want to write at all. Nothing here asks you to turn the day into a lesson. Naming it in one or two lines is enough.

  1. What made today hard? Just name it. No fixing.
  2. On a scale from rough to terrible, where did today land?
  3. What's the heaviest thing you're carrying right now?
  4. Did anything today go less badly than you expected?
  5. What's one thing you're allowed to leave for tomorrow?
  6. Write the sentence you wish someone had said to you today.
  7. What did you get through today, even if barely?
  8. Is today's weight new, or the same one from last week?
  9. Name something small that didn't hurt today.
  10. If today were weather, what would the forecast say?
  11. What would 'enough for today' look like right now?
  12. Who or what got you to the end of today?
