More about this style...
You are someone who benefits from practices that allow you to reflect on your thoughts and emotions.
You may find that practices like gratitude journaling, freewriting, or reflective journaling help you to gain insight into your inner world and process your feelings.
These practices can help you to identify patterns in your thinking and behaviour, increase your self-awareness, and cultivate a sense of mindfulness and presence.
“First thought, best thought.”
as a starting point
As per the teachings of Tibetan Lama Chogyam Trungpa, start with whatever thought is on your mind when you sit down to write and follow from there. Observe what comes through without judgment. You can always finish off with one thing you are grateful for.
Use journal prompts
to get you inspired
You might benefit from using prompts if you haven't journaled for a while. The prompts will focus your writing on mindfulness. Here are some samples as well as further explanation on the subject.
Here is another pdf that I found helpful.

Nice to meet you!
You might be wondering who I am and why I care about mindfulness.
Well, my name is Ana. I have always loved exploring ways to improve my mental well-being and how to make the most of our precious time on this earth.
As my brain tends to go 1,000 miles per second, I needed to find ways to ground myself and stay present. That led me to try different mindfulness practices and eventually develop Your Mindful Year.
