Does “How are you feeling?” actually lead to meaningful journaling?

I’ve noticed that “How are you feeling?” is one of the most common journaling prompts.

Sometimes it helps me unpack what’s really on my mind. Other times it feels so broad that I don’t know where to begin, and I end up staring at a blank page.

I’m curious how others experience it. Does that simple question naturally lead you into your thoughts, or do you find yourself needing something more specific before the writing starts?
