I’ve had the same problem with staring at a blank page. What helped me was using guided prompts that weren’t too heavy. Instead of “write about your life goals,” I’d go with something like “describe a place that makes you feel calm.” It shifts the focus from pressure to exploration. I actually came across a Liven app review where they mentioned a feature that suggests questions for journaling, including positive topics like decisions you’re proud of. That kind of prompt makes it easier to start writing and keeps the process enjoyable.

I think variety is the real key. When the brain is exposed to lots of small, different ideas, it naturally starts blending them together in new ways. It’s the same principle artists use when drawing inspiration from multiple sources. The speed just means you’re collecting more sparks in less time, which raises the chance of something fresh coming out of it.
