Journal Prompts

Money is a necessity at this point in human history, and it'll most likely never be something that we can avoid. So lets' play that hypothetical game and think about what we would do if we didn't have to worry about money. Work takes up a lot of our time and without work, what would you fill your day up with? Would it be seeing friends and family more? Or start picking up hobbies and focusing on having fun?

Every single day that life passes there's always something we regret doing, or some unfortunate event that occurs. The common reaction to these events are normally replaying situations in our head, or not being able to move forward. Accepting outcomes is a tough yet necessary action to take because without accepting, you'll be wasting time and energy on past events that are no longer in your control.

Living in the present is a tough thing to do when you have people in your ear always questioning you about your future. How is it possible to live in the present but care for the future? If you're not living in the present, are you living at all?

Perspective is an interesting trait we all have. When I first saw this journal prompt I thought about dreams for my future life, but my guest Frank had a different idea of what this journal prompt meant to him: What do you dream about when you sleep? Both make you think a little bit. One of these forces you to think about things that haven't happened in your life yet in a vivid way, and the other forces you to remember a different reality that is vividly hard to remember and grasp, with a plot the usually makes no sense.

Starting up anything in life is hard because you think about everything that can go wrong. Changing your mindset to thinking of the possibilities that it can eventually lead to is going to help tremendously. But seriously, why can't you do it? Why can't you be the next huge YouTube star or pop-star? Or even something so small like doing 20 push-ups in a row? Limiting yourself is what most people do, once you can change the limitations on your life start really thinking of why YOU can't do it?

Productivity is a strange topic to ponder about. First of all, what does productive even mean? And how do you consistently make sure you're not wasting your time by doing activities that fall under the umbrella of 'Productive'? This word didn't mean much to human beings until ... kinda now. Since we can do anything at anytime in our life, whats the solution to keeping busy in our free time and feel like we've accomplished something?

Most of the population is always thinking about taking care of a specific object, or animal, but rarely do we think about ourselves. What food do you put into you body? How much sleep do you get? Does physical and mental health even reach the surface of your thoughts?

We have a million things constantly running through our minds every single day, but only a few seriously stick to us. Connections are a strange positive feeling, and for some reason we ignore it sometimes. Trying to find a deep connection to something is the wrong way of looking at it, letting it come to you is the best way of doing it.

There are so many times in your life where you make a decision and at first you have 100% belief in yourself, and then it slowly creeps down. How do you continue to stay on the path of not doubting yourself and truly believing in YOU to make your goal happen? It's a tough thing to do, but I promise that it's possible.

The journal prompt that my friend Ilia and I discussed is "What gets your inner child excited and makes you feel alive?" Everyone can have a different definition of what your inner child is, so listen in on exactly what we think our inner child is, and how we feel alive from our excitement.
