Use Today Felt Like as the First Line

A reflection page gets easier when the first sentence is partly decided. Write Today felt like... at the top, then answer with texture instead of forcing a single mood label.

Turn feeling into evidence

The advanced move is to make the starter specific without making it heavy. Let the answer land in the body, the room, or the story you kept telling yourself.

Make it reusable

Use this layout when you feel too much, too little, or too scattered. The point is not a perfect mood word. The point is a first honest sentence.

The starter opens the page; the evidence deepens it.

What Happened / How I Felt / What I Need

Reflection gets easier when the page separates the event from the emotion and the next care step.

Use three lanes

Write what happened, how you felt, and what you need. The layout keeps the entry from becoming one tangled paragraph.

Why the order works

Start with facts so the entry has an anchor. Then name the feeling. End with the need, because the goal is care, not just analysis.

Reflection works when the page gives the feeling a place to land.
