Tips for a Calming Journaling Ritual

  • Set the Mood: Light a candle or play soft music to make your journaling time feel special. Keep it simple to fit your schedule.

  • Find Your Spot: Pick a cozy corner—like your favorite armchair or a sunny window—to spark inspiration.

  • Keep It Short: Even 3–5 minutes is enough. Write a sentence or two for each prompt to capture the essence of your dreams.

  • Add a Keepsake: Tape in an ultrasound photo or a doodle of a dream (like a tiny heart) to make your journal pages extra special. Save these in a keepsake journal for a forever memory.
