What's up party people? You're listening to the Journal Party

0:12

podcast where every week we get together

0:15

for a little guided journaling jam sash. My name is Alex Goner

0:18

and I'll be your host. So here's how it works.

0:21

I'll give you a journal prompt and a

0:21

groove, and you just start writing.

0:24

After a few minutes, you'll hear a

0:24

little bell that sounds like this,

0:27

and we'll move on to the next prompt. After a couple minutes, you'll

0:28

hear that bell again, and we'll

0:31

move on to the next prompt and

0:31

we'll just keep going on like that.

0:33

Until we're finished, feel free

0:33

to write 'em whatever you like.

0:36

And if you finish before the bell, you

0:36

can try to dig deeper and elaborate

0:39

or just chill out and enjoy the tunes. Don't overthink it.

0:42

There's no wrong way to do this. So welcome to the party Journal.

0:46

Party. Yeah, party people.

0:51

What's up, how we doing? I've been thinking a lot

0:54

about mission lately.

0:57

What really drives us? What makes us feel alive and what

0:59

bigger purpose we're working toward.

1:04

For me, that's getting a million

1:04

people to journal with us.

1:08

I mean, they can, they don't have to

1:08

journal with us, but I wanna get a

1:12

million people to journal in general,

1:12

because I believe that self-reflection

1:16

makes the world a better place. But missions don't have to be grand.

1:23

I mean, it's cool if they are, but

1:23

sometimes they're just deeply personal.

1:28

Either way. Today we're gonna be jamming through

1:28

five journal prompts to help you

1:32

connect with your mission, whether it's

1:32

something you're already working on or

1:36

something that you're still uncovering.

1:38

So open up that journal and

1:38

let's get this party started.

1:42

Here comes prompt number one. What's something you care deeply

1:45

about, even if no one is watching?

3:53

Prompt number two, think about a moment

3:53

when you felt truly in alignment.

3:58

What were you doing? Prompt number three.

6:48

If you had unlimited resources,

6:48

what problem would you

6:51

dedicate yourself to solving? Prompt number four.

9:25

What's one small action you can take today

9:25

to move toward a mission that excites you?

12:10

Prompt number five. Write a pep talk to yourself as if

12:12

you're already living your mission.

12:17

What do you say? All right, party people.

14:29

Take a second to sit with

14:29

whatever came up for you.

14:32

Your mission doesn't have to

14:32

be world changing necessarily.

14:35

It just has to matter to you. And remember, missions can evolve so.

14:40

It's okay if you don't have it all figured out yet. The most important thing is to listen

14:42

to what's calling you right now and

14:46

take the next step no matter how small. Now if you want to take the next step with

14:49

journaling, check out our app for some

14:53

more guided journaling programs, mood and

14:53

energy tracking, and a community of people

14:56

that are sharing this journey with you. So you can find that in the Apple

14:59

App Store as well as Google Play.

15:03

Or you can just visit the web app. Which is available on our website,

15:05

journal party.com, and if you haven't

15:09

already, you can get a free journal when

15:09

you sign up for journal Party premium.

15:13

Just cover the shipping and handling

15:13

and I'll send you one myself.

15:16

Well, we have a warehouse that

15:16

does it, and that's why we charge

15:20

for the shipping and handling. It's expensive and it

15:21

comes outta my pocket. So anyway, if you want a fancy new

15:22

journal and you want to try out Journal

15:27

Party Premium, there is a link in the

15:27

show notes for you to do exactly that.

15:31

Also, I'd like to invite you to join us

15:31

every Wednesday night at 6:00 PM Pacific

15:35

Standard Time for Journal Party Live.

15:38

It is a free live stream where we journal

15:38

through our newest programs together, and

15:42

then we share our insights at the end. You can tune into that on our YouTube

15:44

channel, our private Facebook group,

15:47

or even directly inside of our

15:47

app, and all the links for those

15:50

are in the show notes as well. And lastly, hit me up on

15:52

Instagram at journal party.

15:55

Omg, if you're loving the show

15:55

15:58

It really helps more journalists find

15:58

us and journal with us and journaling's

16:03

way more fun with more people. So anyway, thanks for

16:04

16:12

lights you up and as always, party.
