When you say “I don’t know what to write about” or “I don’t have anything to say” this really makes your inner critic/internal editor a very happy camper. I can just hear him/her/it saying, “Sweet success! No creative, expressive, exploring today; staying stuck is the bestest of ways!” So here are some journaling jump starters from the weekly Journaling Therapy Tips newsletter you can get [by signing up here.](https://www.createwritenow.com/writing-for-the-health-of-it/)

**#75 The Miracle Worker **

Inspiration comes in the strangest ways, when we are not trying to force the issue. An AARP commercial about what I want to be when I grow up prompted this week’s tip. We lose track of our dreams and goals and passions and Journaling helps in their retrieval.

~~Bring your Inner Kid into the conversation and tell your Journal, "When I grow up, I wanna..." ~~~

**BONUS JOURNALING TIP**

 "We don't grade on a curve. If I give any of these guys a helmet on Sunday, I expect them to put themselves in position to be the reason why we win."   
                    (My Inner Coach) Mike Tomlin   
Who’s your Inner Coach? Had a Journaling conversation with him/her lately, ever? 

**#76 Memoirs of a Geisha**

~~~Have a heart-to-heart concept meeting with your Journal on writing your life story—the Book. Create a working title. Design a cover. What treasures and insights do You want to share with the world?~~~

**BONUS JOURNALING TIP**

Take your life in your own hands, and what happens?   
A terrible thing: you have no one to blame! Erica Jong 

**#77 Without You**

I’ve recently discovered my pop belter voice and am redoing my ‘A Baby Boomer’s Christmas’ album in a 70s Rock n’ Roll style. That musical genre has the most gorgeously lyrics that make for great awesome journaling prompts.

No, I can't forget tomorrow  
When I think of all my sorrow  
When I had you there but then I let you go  
And now it's only fair that I should let you know  
What you should know...  
   
And what should he/she/they know? Maybe Harry Nilsson can give your Journal some words. 

**BONUS JOURNALING TIP**

We are on this earth in bodies because our souls have things to learn that we could not learn in any other way. Jamie Windsong Kasper
