Try Journalling for the First Time

You've heard journalling clears your head, but you open the notebook and the blank page just stares back. This gets you going: drop the idea that it has to be deep or well-written, three simple prompts to get words moving, and how short a session can be and still count. For first-time journallers stuck at the first sentence.
