Returning — February 2026

Beginning again, in this practice, isn’t about starting fresh.

It’s about returning to the page — noticing how it feels now, and meeting it where it is.

You don’t need a clear mind.
You don’t need momentum.
You don’t need to make sense of what came before.

This week’s prompts are about re-entering the practice gently, without pressure to explain or resolve anything.

This Week’s Focus: Beginning Again

Beginning again doesn’t erase what you’ve already written.
It doesn’t ask you to “do it better” this time.

It simply invites you to notice your relationship with the page right now.

Some returns are brief.
Some are tentative.
Some are steady.

All of them count.

There is no order to these prompts.
You don’t need to answer them all.

Choose one.
Let it be enough.

This Week’s Prompts

  • How does the page feel to you today — familiar, distant, welcoming, neutral?
  • What kind of return feels possible right now: brief, quiet, tentative, steady?
  • What part of this practice feels easiest to step back into?
  • What do you need less of as you begin again?
  • What has stayed with you since the last time you wrote?
  • What would a gentle rhythm look like for you this week — realistically?
  • If this return didn’t have to mean anything, what might you write first?

A Gentle Reminder

You don’t need momentum to begin again.
You don’t need confidence.

Returning — in any form — is enough.
