Journal prompt

A small tradition you'd keep going

Perhaps a small tradition you'd keep going even if nobody else noticed.

A short prompt from our Prompt Library, for the little seasonal habits that belong to you. It might be something you do in November, at Christmas, or on an ordinary Sunday. A few lines will do.

A few ways in

  1. Perhaps a small thing you repeat: a walk, a recipe, a candle, a song, a visit.
  2. You might write why you'd keep it going, even if nobody else noticed.
  3. Some people like to describe how it goes. Others just name it and leave a little space around it.

Example: 'The first clementine of the season, eaten on the back step, even when it's cold.'

A thought: Some people love a tradition they share. Others prefer one that is only theirs. Both belong on the page, and you can write about a tradition you have only just started.

A journal is a writing hobby, not a treatment. A plain notebook is every bit as welcome.
