Find your way back to yourself with simple questions that meet you in the in-between.

Ever stare at a blank page and feel like it’s staring back at you?

Sometimes the hardest part of writing or reconnecting with yourself is simply knowing where to begin. On the days when your heart feels full, your mind feels loud, or everything just feels… too much, it helps to have a gentle invitation.

This isn’t about fixing yourself or doing more — it’s about finding a soft place to land inside your own thoughts. These 12 prompts are here to hold space for whatever version of you shows up today.

No pressure. Just presence.

Let’s begin with honesty, not pressure.

• What’s one soft, imperfect step I could take?

Would I feel better doing one small thing… or doing nothing?

• What helps me remember that clarity often comes after starting?

• What can I do with what I have right now?

• How can I break this down into smaller pieces?

What mental clutter is making everything feel harder?

• What part of me already knows where to start but needs permission?

What could I do for the next 10 minutes—no pressure, no plan?

What is my body trying to tell me to prioritize?

What task would bring the most relief if it were done?

Am I stuck because of fear, confusion, or exhaustion?

• If I had to pick just one thing to focus on, what would it be?

Start with the one that feels kindest to your energy today. There’s no wrong way to begin.
