January begins here, quietly.
Not with resolutions or reinvention, but with noticing — the small details, the recurring thoughts, the ordinary moments that shape our days when we slow down enough to see them.
This month’s prompts invite you to arrive as you are.
No fixing. No optimizing. Just attention.
About This Month
Noticing is a gentle practice.
It asks you to pause before the day gathers momentum — to observe what’s already present in your body, your space, your thoughts, and your mornings.
There is nothing to complete here.
Nothing to keep up with.
You are free to return to the same prompt again and again, or to skip writing entirely and simply read.
How to Use These Prompts
Each week in January, you’ll find a set of seven journaling prompts.
There is no right order.
No expectation to write daily.
No pressure to “finish” the week.
Choose one prompt that speaks to you.
Write a sentence. Write a word. Or sit with the question and close the notebook.
That still counts.
