Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey everyone, welcome back, ready for a deep dive
into some serious self-discovery.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
I am.

Speaker 1 (00:04):
Today we're exploring journal prompts, okay,
specifically how they can unlockyour self-worth, you know,
embrace your awesomeness.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
You know, what's so cool about these prompts is that
they're kind of like theselittle keys that unlock these
hidden places of likeself-reflection.

Speaker 1 (00:22):
I love that analogy that we never really look at.
Yeah, it's really neat andwe're taking inspiration from
this blog post called 50Self-Worth Journal Prompts.
It's over at listallioncom.

Speaker 2 (00:32):
Oh, excellent.

Speaker 1 (00:33):
And they've got this treasure trove of prompts.
And, trust me, these are notyour average deer diary entries.

Speaker 2 (00:41):
No, not at all, and they're crafted so specifically
to help guide you to be moreself-aware, and they really make
you think about you, know yourvalues, your strengths, even how
you impact the world.

Speaker 1 (00:52):
Okay, let's get specific.
One category that stood out tome was reflection on personal
strengths, and there's this oneprompt, and it's so simple what
are three qualities that youlove most about yourself and how
do they impact your daily life?

Speaker 2 (01:07):
So often we go through life and we kind of
forget about all of the goodthings about us, and this one
makes you actually stop andthink about those and really
look at how those qualitiesactually shape your experiences,
and I think that's so important.

Speaker 1 (01:18):
It's like holding up a mirror to your best self,
exactly.
But it's not just about listingtraits, there's another one.

Speaker 2 (01:34):
But it's not just about listing traits.
There's another one, rightabout a time when you felt
misunderstood.
How did you handle thesituation and what did it teach
you about yourself?
And we've all been there, rightFeeling like someone's just not
getting us.
We have, and this one is reallybrilliant because it makes you
look at it as a way to grow fromit.
You're not just looking at theevent, but you're like how did I
get through that?
What did I learn about myboundaries and how did I come
out of it stronger than before?

Speaker 1 (01:49):
Yeah, it's like rewriting the narrative on our
own resilience.

Speaker 2 (01:51):
Exactly.

Speaker 1 (01:52):
Okay, this next one is kind of a mind bender, but in
a good way.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (01:57):
Think about the people whose lives you've
touched.
How have you made a positivedifference in their lives?
I think that feels very outwardfocused for a self-worth
exercise.

Speaker 2 (02:07):
And that's such a good point.
You know, we're always stuck inour own thoughts and thinking
about ourselves, but this makesyou realize that we make a
difference in other people'slives and I think that's just
incredible.
It's a really good perspectiveshift.

Speaker 1 (02:20):
So by recognizing how we impact others, we actually
boost our own self-worth.

Speaker 2 (02:25):
Yes, absolutely, and it's tapping into that.
You know that part of us thatwants to know that we matter.
Yeah, and when we see it onpaper, it's just yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:34):
It's like we're shifting from like a
self-centered view of self-worthto a more interconnected one.
It's like our worth isn't justabout us.
It's how we contribute ExactlyTo the world around us.

Speaker 2 (02:46):
And then it creates this like positive feedback loop
where you start realizing howmuch you do impact the world and
it makes you want to do it more, which makes you feel better
about yourself.

Speaker 1 (02:54):
Okay, last one before we dive even deeper.
This one feels super actionable.
Imagine your life five yearsfrom now.
What achievements and qualitiesdo you see in yourself?
It's like a vision board, butlike journal style.

Speaker 2 (03:08):
I love that, and you're putting it down on paper,
which I think is so important,because when we speak things
into existence, it's more likelyto happen.

Speaker 1 (03:15):
Oh my gosh, I'm already like itching to grab my
journal.

Speaker 2 (03:17):
Me too.

Speaker 1 (03:18):
But before you do, stick with us as we explore the
psychology behind why theseprompts are so effective.
Okay, we've looked at someseriously thought-provoking
prompts, but let's shift gears abit and talk about, like the
why.
Why are these prompts soeffective?
It's got to be more than justjournaling magic happening here.

Speaker 2 (03:38):
Right, there's actually a lot of really cool
psychology behind it.
You remember that prompt aboutlike identifying three things
you love about yourself?
Yeah, Seems simple, right.

Speaker 1 (03:46):
Yeah, almost too simple.

Speaker 2 (03:47):
But our brains are actually wired to look at the
negative.
Oh, interesting, like what weneed to fix and change.

Speaker 1 (03:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (03:53):
So this is making you stop that pattern and actually
acknowledge and be like you knowwhat.
These are my strengths.

Speaker 1 (04:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (04:00):
And I think that's so important.

Speaker 1 (04:02):
So we're kind of like hacking our brains a little bit
.

Speaker 2 (04:04):
A little bit yeah.

Speaker 1 (04:05):
I'm into it.
Does I'm into it?
Does simply writing thesethings down, though, actually
make a difference?

Speaker 2 (04:10):
It does, because you're not just writing them
down.
You're actually like sayingthis is who I am.
This is like affirming it inyourself, and when you do that,
it actually like strengthensthat idea in yourself.

Speaker 1 (04:20):
So it's like we're planting these seeds of
self-love, yes, and watchingthem grow.

Speaker 2 (04:27):
I'm digging this gardening metaphor and just like
a garden, our self-worth needsto be tended to Like.
Going back to that beingmisunderstood yeah, it's not
about dwelling on it, but it'slike what did I learn?
How did I grow from that?

Speaker 1 (04:39):
Right, it's that saying what doesn't kill you
makes you stronger, but like forour minds, exactly, we're
taking that narrative andflipping it.

Speaker 2 (04:48):
Instead of being like oh, I can't believe that
happened, You're like wow, lookwhat I learned, Look how strong
I am.

Speaker 1 (04:53):
That is a powerful shift in perspective, right, and
it makes me think about thatprompt.
The one about recognizing ourpositive impact on others.
That one, I'll admit it, threwme for a loop at first.

Speaker 2 (05:05):
It's a different way of looking at it.
We're always thinking aboutourselves and this making us
realize that it's also about ourconnection with others.

Speaker 1 (05:12):
Yeah, how we impact other people, which makes total
sense when you think about it.
Like we crave that feeling ofbelonging.

Speaker 2 (05:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (05:19):
Of knowing that we matter.
And what better way than torecognize our actions actually
make a real difference.

Speaker 2 (05:25):
And that in itself is such a good way to boost your
self-worth because you're like,wow, like, look what I did for
that person Right, look how Imade them feel like that's
incredible.

Speaker 1 (05:34):
Yeah, it's like this understanding that we are all
interconnected and our capacityfor kindness is actually really
powerful.

Speaker 2 (05:41):
Yes, a hundred percent.

Speaker 1 (05:43):
This is blowing my mind.
It's like we're uncoveringthese hidden pathways to
self-worth like psychologicalshortcuts.

Speaker 2 (05:52):
I love that.
I love that.

Speaker 1 (05:53):
That can have a huge impact on how we see ourselves
and our place in the world.

Speaker 2 (05:57):
It's so true, and the cool thing about these prompts
is that they're kind of guidingyou to that, to realize that
about yourself.

Speaker 1 (06:04):
So how do we take these aha moments and make them
last?
How do we take these journalinsights and use them?

Speaker 2 (06:10):
Such a good question.

Speaker 1 (06:11):
In our everyday life.

Speaker 2 (06:17):
Yeah, it's all great to write them down, but how are
we going to apply them?
And that's what's so importantabout the next part is we're
going to talk about what itlooks like to have good self
worth.

Speaker 1 (06:22):
Okay, so we've unpacked the why behind these
powerful prompts and uncoveredsome serious like psychological
gold here.

Speaker 2 (06:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (06:30):
But let's get practical for our listeners.
How does this newfoundself-worth show up in our
everyday life?
What tangible difference doesit make?

Speaker 2 (06:41):
You know it's funny.
It's like that saying knowingyour worth is your superpower.
But what good is a superpowerif you don't know how to use it?

Speaker 1 (06:47):
Exactly so.
Give us the practical everydayapplications.

Speaker 2 (06:50):
Well, I think one of the biggest things is decision
making, because when you areaware of your worth, you're not
going to choose things thatdiminish that Right.
So, whether it's like a job, arelationship or even how you
spend your free time, so it'slike self-worth becomes this
internal compass.
Yes.

Speaker 1 (07:09):
That's guiding us toward the right choices for us.

Speaker 2 (07:11):
A hundred percent.
And even in our relationships,when we know what we're worth,
we can set those healthyboundaries.

Speaker 1 (07:19):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (07:20):
We communicate better and I think we attract people
who appreciate us for us.

Speaker 1 (07:25):
It's like we're showing up authentically.

Speaker 2 (07:26):
Yes.

Speaker 1 (07:27):
In all areas of our lives.
Yes, 100% no more shrinkingourselves, no, to fit in.

Speaker 2 (07:32):
And we're not looking for other people to validate us
.
We know who we are and that'sall that matters.
And for other people tovalidate us.
We know who we are and that'sall that matters.
And I mean honestly our health,our well-being.
I mean there's been studiesthat have shown when we have
high self-worth, we can handlestress better.

Speaker 1 (07:45):
Oh, wow.

Speaker 2 (07:46):
Yeah, we're more resilient and even our physical
health is better.

Speaker 1 (07:49):
Wow, it's like this ripple effect.

Speaker 2 (07:51):
It is.

Speaker 1 (07:51):
We invest in our self-worth and it impacts
everything.

Speaker 2 (07:54):
I love that because it's not like we're going to
have perfect self-love all thetime, but it's like we're
building a relationship withourselves where we accept
ourselves.
We love ourselves through thegood and the bad, and I think
these journal prompts are sogood for helping you realize
that about yourself.

Speaker 1 (08:08):
It's true.
So to wrap up, dedicating timefor self-reflection through
these prompts is like givingourselves a daily dose of
self-empowerment.

Speaker 2 (08:17):
Yes.

Speaker 1 (08:17):
And it makes us better partners, better friends
and just overall, our well-beingis better.

Speaker 2 (08:23):
I love it.

Speaker 1 (08:24):
I'm going to leave you with this final thought how
do you think acknowledging yourpositive impact on others
creates a ripple effect in yourown life?
