Write Three Lines in the Morningroutinedaily

A morning journal doesn't have to tell the whole story of yesterday. Three lines can be a manageable place to begin when a blank page feels too large.

Leave a notebook and pen somewhere you'll see them. At a convenient point after waking, write about how you are, what's on your mind, or one thing you'd like from the day. You can use a sentence for each, or let one thought take all three lines.

Keep it private and unfinished

The words don't need to be clear to anyone else. Misspellings, fragments, and a repeated worry can stay. There's no character limit or need to turn a feeling into an action plan.

Put the notebook somewhere private when you're done. If writing first thing feels difficult or brings up more than you'd like to handle then, try another time or a different kind of check-in.

Some mornings you'll want to continue; others you may skip. The small starting point is there to make writing available, not to create another streak you have to protect before breakfast.
