Micro-Journaling: The 3-Sentence Trick That Clears Your Head

When your mind feels cluttered, you don’t always have the time or energy to write pages in a notebook. That’s where micro-journaling comes in—a simple method that can help you feel lighter in just a few minutes.

Here’s the trick: write only three sentences.

  1. One about what’s on your mind right now.

  2. One about how it makes you feel.

  3. One about what you want to focus on next.

That’s it.

Three lines.

No pressure to be profound or perfect.

This quick journaling practice is powerful for mental health because it clears mental space, reduces overwhelm, and builds self-awareness without feeling like “homework.”

If you’ve struggled to stay consistent with journaling, try this simple journaling prompt every morning or before bed—it might just become your easiest mental reset.
