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 party.

0:48

Yoyo, yo, your boy Alex in the

0:48

house, ready to do some journaling.

0:54

All right, here's what I got going on.

0:58

You know that feeling when you keep asking

0:58

everyone else for advice, even though deep

1:04

down you already know what you wanna do. Same.

1:08

Trusting ourselves can feel weirdly hard

1:08

sometimes, like we need someone else to

1:12

give us permission to trust our own gut.

1:14

But the truth is, self-trust isn't

1:14

something we have to earn from others.

1:20

It's already inside of us. We just have to practice listening to it.

1:25

Today, we're gonna dig into that and give

1:25

ourselves permission to know what we know.

1:32

That's right. Today we're gonna be jamming

1:32

through five journal prompts to

1:35

help you strengthen your self-trust.

1:37

So open up that journal.

1:40

Let's get this party started. Here comes prompt number one,

1:41

right about a time when you

1:45

trusted your gut and it paid off.

1:48

How did it feel to lean

1:48

into your own wisdom?

4:24

Prompt number two, where in your life

4:24

do you tend to second guess yourself?

4:29

What would it look like to trust

4:29

yourself in those situations?

6:44

Prompt number three, think of

6:44

someone whose advice you often seek.

6:49

What would happen if you just trusted

6:49

yourself instead of asking them?

10:21

Number four. What's one small decision you can make

10:22

today without consulting anyone else?

10:28

How does it feel to take

10:28

ownership of that choice?

12:48

Prop number five, write a few encouraging

12:48

words to yourself about why you are

12:53

already capable of making good decisions.

15:18

Nice work party people. Go ahead and take a moment to sit

15:19

with whatever came up for you today.

15:23

Self-trust isn't about

15:23

getting it right every time.

15:27

It's about knowing that even when things

15:27

don't go perfectly, you've got your own

15:31

back, and that's super powerful now.

15:34

If you're craving more support in

15:34

building self-trust, I'd like to invite

15:39
