Where are you starting from?

Pick the moment you are in. Each entry below opens Rainku with prompts written for that state, so the first question you meet is one you can actually answer tonight.

If none of the four fits, the general guide is how to start journaling — one sentence, five minutes, no rules.

Four entry points

• After a breakup

  For the weeks when the same conversation keeps replaying and you draft messages you don't send. Seven prompts, starting with where the feeling sits in your body.

New to journaling?

Start with Journaling for beginners. It is the five-step version — pick a format, attach it to a time you already have, write one sentence — and it includes a full first entry written out from three spoken lines.

Want a question rather than a framework: 100 journaling prompts grouped by starting point, or ten questions worth a whole evening.
