DAE feel like daily writing prompts just mess with your flow?

I got into the habit of using a different prompt each morning to kick off my writing session. It ended up making all my stories feel forced and samey, which totally killed my vibe. How do you guys use prompts without letting them take over your ideas?

Yeah I was all about prompts for years honestly. They started feeling like training wheels I forgot how to ride without. Had to ditch them for a full month just to remember what my own ideas sounded like. Now I only grab one if I'm truly stuck staring at a blank page. Turns out my natural flow is messy but it's actually mine.
