An easy moonlight journal

On a night when the moon is visible, or simply when you feel like it, step outside or to a window for a moment. Take a few breaths in the night air or the quiet of the room. Then write three short lines about how you are doing.

Some people like to connect entries with moon phases: beginnings at the new moon, gratitude or celebration at the full moon, release as it wanes. This is optional. The moon can simply be a gentle reminder to pause and check in.

Finish with a glass of water and an early night if you can. Over months, your entries become a soft record of your own seasons. Read them back now and then to notice how much you have grown.
