Journal Party
06/17/24 • 21 min
Welcome back, Party People! In today’s episode, we’re diving deep into the art of cultivating patience. Ever found yourself tapping your foot in a long line, feeling your blood boil when stuck in traffic, or even getting frustrated waiting for a big life change like a job promotion or a significant personal breakthrough? In our fast-paced world, patience often feels like a luxury we can’t afford. But what if cultivating patience could actually lead to a more peaceful and fulfilling life?
Patience isn’t just about waiting without frustration—it’s about maintaining a positive attitude while waiting. It’s a skill that can transform your everyday experiences and help you handle life’s biggest challenges with grace and composure. By practicing patience, you can improve your relationships, reduce stress, and achieve your goals with a clearer mind.
In this episode, we’re going to jam through 5 journal prompts designed to help you cultivate patience in various aspects of your life. These prompts will encourage you to reflect on your triggers, learn from patience role models, and explore mindfulness techniques that enhance your ability to stay calm and composed.
Journal Prompts:
1.Reflect on Impatience: Write about a recent situation where you felt impatient. What triggered this feeling, and how did you react? How could you approach a similar situation with more patience in the future?
2.Patience Role Models: Think of someone you know who embodies patience. Describe how they handle challenging situations and what you can learn from their behavior.
3.Patience in Goals: Reflect on a long-term goal you have. How can practicing patience help you stay committed and positive throughout the journey?
4.Mindfulness and Patience: Describe a time when being mindful helped you remain patient. What mindfulness techniques can you incorporate into your daily routine to enhance your patience?
5.Patience with Yourself: Write about an area in your life where you struggle to be patient with yourself. How can you show yourself more kindness and understanding in this area?
As always, we’ll be playing some great tunes between each prompt to give you time to reflect and write. Remember, patience is a skill that can bring peace and clarity into your life, and it’s all about taking small, intentional steps every day.

Have you ever caught yourself thinking, “Why is everyone else ahead of me?” Maybe you’re scrolling through social media, feeling like everyone else’s life is more exciting, more successful, or more together than yours. Or maybe you’re looking at a friend’s career, relationship, or personal growth and wondering why you’re not further along. Yeah, we’ve all been there.
Comparison is sneaky. It creates the illusion that there’s a universal timeline for success and that you’re somehow falling behind. The truth is, there’s no race. Everyone’s path is different, and the moment you start measuring your progress against someone else’s, you disconnect from your own power. This episode is all about reclaiming that power and refocusing on your path.
In this episode, we’ll explore why comparison shows up, how it impacts your mindset, and what you can do to break free from it. Through five targeted journal prompts, you’ll get clear on where comparison is showing up in your life and how to shift toward self-trust and self-celebration. Instead of feeling like you’re in competition with the world, you’ll learn how to celebrate others’ success while staying grounded in your own journey.
What You’ll Learn:
✅ Why comparison is so hard to escape — and why it’s completely normal
✅ How to identify the underlying beliefs that fuel comparison
✅ How to shift from jealousy to inspiration
✅ Why your version of success matters more than anyone else’s
✅ How to reconnect with your own path and stop giving your power away
Journal Prompts from This Episode:
1. Think about a time when you compared yourself to someone else. What did you believe they had that you didn’t? How did that make you feel?
2. What’s one thing you’re proud of that no one else can take credit for? How did it feel to accomplish that on your own terms?
3. Whose success tends to trigger your comparison the most? Why do you think that is? What might this reveal about something you want for yourself?
4. Write about what success looks like for you — not society, not your family, not your friends — but for YOU.
5. What would it feel like to celebrate someone else’s success without it diminishing your own? How can you shift toward that mindset?
Why This Matters:
Comparison disconnects you from your truth. When you focus on someone else’s journey, you lose sight of your own progress and potential. But self-trust and self-celebration are antidotes to comparison. This episode will help you understand why comparison happens and how to release it, so you can shift back into alignment with your version of success.
Take the Work Further:
If this episode spoke to you, check out the guided session on releasing comparison inside the Journal Party app — it’s designed to help you deepen this work and create lasting change.

Ep. 89 - Living with Intentionality
Journal Party
05/27/24 • 20 min
In this episode of Journal Party, we’re going deep into the concept of living with intentionality. Your host shares a personal story about recently making abrupt changes in behavior to better align with the person they intend to be. This episode is all about being mindful of our actions and making deliberate choices that reflect our core values and long-term goals. Living with intentionality is not always easy, but it’s a powerful way to create a life that truly resonates with who we are.
We start with a discussion on what it means to live intentionally. Our host explains that intentional living involves making conscious choices that align with your values and goals, even when it requires letting go of habits that feel good but lead you down the wrong path. This honesty with oneself and willingness to change is the essence of living intentionally.
To help you get started on this journey, we’ll guide you through five journal prompts designed to foster intentional living. Grab your journal and get ready to reflect deeply on your values, daily habits, goals, decision-making processes, and how to create a plan for intentional living.
Journal Prompt 1: Identify Your Core Values
We’ll begin by identifying your core values. These are the principles and beliefs that are most important to you and guide your decisions and actions. Take some time to reflect on what truly matters to you.
Journal Prompt 2: Reflect on Your Daily Habits
Next, we’ll look at your daily habits. Write about your typical day and how you spend your time. Consider whether your actions align with your core values. Identify activities that bring you closer to living intentionally and those that might be distractions.
Journal Prompt 3: Set Intentional Goals
Now, focus on setting intentional goals. Write down a few goals that align with your core values. These can be short-term or long-term. Reflect on how these goals reflect what you truly want in life and what steps you can take to achieve them intentionally.
Journal Prompt 4: Mindfulness in Decision Making
We’ll explore mindfulness in decision-making. Write about a recent decision you made and how you approached it. Were you mindful of your values and goals? Think about how you can bring more intentionality into your decision-making process.
Journal Prompt 5: Create an Intentional Living Plan
Finally, we’ll create an intentional living plan. Write about specific actions you can take daily, weekly, or monthly to live more intentionally. Consider how you will remind yourself to stay aligned with your values and goals and what practices you can incorporate to ensure you’re living with purpose.
In the outro, our host emphasizes that living with intention is a continuous journey. It’s all about making mindful choices every day and regularly checking in with yourself to ensure your actions reflect your values and goals. This might involve making tough decisions, but it’s all part of creating a life that truly resonates with who you are.

This episode is dedicated to helping you cultivate a deeper connection with your own intuition. In a world where we're constantly bombarded with opinions and advice, it's easy to lose sight of our inner voice. This episode is designed to guide you back to that place of self-assurance and confidence.
Have you ever found yourself asking others for advice, even when you already know what you want to do? You're not alone. Trusting ourselves can sometimes feel like an uphill battle, as if we need external validation to make decisions. But here's the truth: self-trust isn't something you earn from others. It's already within you, waiting to be acknowledged and embraced.
In this episode, we explore the concept of self-trust through five powerful journal prompts. These prompts are crafted to help you reflect on your past experiences, recognize patterns of self-doubt, and empower you to trust your instincts. Let's dive into these prompts and see how they can transform your relationship with yourself.
Prompt 1: Think back to a time when you trusted your gut and it paid off. How did it feel to lean into your own wisdom? Reflecting on these moments can reinforce your belief in your ability to make good decisions.
Prompt 2: Identify areas in your life where you tend to second-guess yourself. What would it look like to trust yourself in those situations? By visualizing a different approach, you can begin to shift your mindset and build confidence.
Prompt 3: Consider someone whose advice you often seek. What would happen if you trusted yourself instead of asking them? This prompt encourages you to evaluate the impact of external influences on your decision-making process.
Prompt 4: Make one small decision today without consulting anyone else. How does it feel to take ownership of that choice? This exercise is about practicing self-reliance and experiencing the empowerment that comes with it.
Prompt 5: Write a few encouraging words to yourself about why you are already capable of making good decisions. Positive affirmations can strengthen your self-belief and remind you of your inherent wisdom.
After working through these prompts, take a moment to sit with whatever came up for you. Remember, self-trust isn't about being right all the time. It's about knowing that even when things don't go perfectly, you have your own back. That's a powerful realization.
