How do you stay consistent with reflective journaling and avoid blank pages?

[Scarlett_R]

I've started personal journaling as a way to process my thoughts and reduce anxiety, but I often find myself staring at a blank page, unsure of what to write or falling into just listing the day's events. I want the practice to be more reflective and meaningful, not just a chore. For those who have maintained a consistent journaling habit, what prompts or approaches helped you dig deeper and make it a valuable tool for self-discovery? Do you follow a specific structure, like gratitude lists or stream-of-consciousness writing, and how do you overcome the internal critic that makes you censor your thoughts before they even hit the page?
