action I can take today to justmove towards resolving this.

Whether it's mentors, role models, even just

don't go as planned?
Speaker 2 (09:06):

Speaker 1 (10:58):
You know, I'm really curious about the science behind
gratitude.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
I've heard that it has tangible benefits for our
well-being.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Oh, you're absolutely right.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
So is there a prompt about that?
Speaker 2 (11:09):
There is yeah, there's one that actually
encourages you to reflect onthis.
It asks how has practicinggratitude changed my perspective
and what benefits have Inoticed?
Speaker 1 (11:19):

Speaker 2 (11:20):
Well, a research has shown that gratitude can reduce

It's amazing to think that something so simple as

Speaker 2 (11:50):
It really is Okay.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
So let's move on to a category that can be
challenging and incrediblyrewarding at the same time.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Okay, I like it Emotional awareness.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
These prompts seem to encourage a deep dive into our
inner world.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
They do.
They invite us to explore, youknow, the full spectrum of our
emotions.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
The good, the bad, the ugly.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Everything the joyful , the challenging.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
The feelings.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Everything in between .
Speaker 1 (12:14):
What stands out to you in this category?
Speaker 2 (12:17):
Well, one that stood out to me is how do I feel about
expressing my emotions and whathelps me communicate them
openly?
Speaker 1 (12:24):
It's interesting to think about how comfortable we
are, or aren't you know?
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
With expressing our true selves.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
To ourselves and to others.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
To ourselves, to others, all of it.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
It's about understanding our own emotional
landscape.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
And developing healthy ways to process and
communicate our feelings.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
And sometimes those feelings aren't always pleasant,
right.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
It's true.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
So how do these prompts address that?
Speaker 2 (12:47):
Well, there's one that asks what's an emotion I've
been avoiding and why do I findit challenging to face?
Speaker 1 (12:53):
That is so important.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
It is.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
Because sometimes I think those challenging emotions
, the ones we avoid, they're theones that hold the most
potential for growth.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
They do.
By acknowledging them, we canbegin to understand their root
causes and develop healthierways of coping.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
It's like shining a light on those shadowy parts of
ourselves, and saying hey, I seeyou.
I'm willing to work with you.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
I love that.
It's about approaching ouremotions with curiosity and
compassion rather than judgmentor avoidance.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
That's great, okay, so we've explored
self-reflection, setting goals,gratitude and emotional
awareness.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Wow, that's a lot.

Oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
You know, not just accepting society's definition
of it.

asks what does success mean tome and what can I do today to
move closer to that definition?

Speaker 2 (12:17):
Well, one that stood out to me is how do I feel about
expressing my emotions and whathelps me communicate them
openly?
Speaker 1 (12:24):
It's interesting to think about how comfortable we
are, or aren't you know?
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
With expressing our true selves.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
To ourselves and to others.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
To ourselves, to others, all of it.

landscape.
Speaker 1 (12:37):

Speaker 2 (12:38):
And developing healthy ways to process and
communicate our feelings.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
And sometimes those feelings aren't always pleasant,
right.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
It's true.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
So how do these prompts address that?
Speaker 2 (12:47):
Well, there's one that asks what's an emotion I've
been avoiding and why do I findit challenging to face?
Speaker 1 (12:53):
That is so important.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
It is.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
Because sometimes I think those challenging emotions
, the ones we avoid, they're theones that hold the most
potential for growth.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
They do.
By acknowledging them, we canbegin to understand their root
causes and develop healthierways of coping.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
It's like shining a light on those shadowy parts of
ourselves, and saying hey, I seeyou.
I'm willing to work with you.

compassion rather than judgmentor avoidance.
