Hey What's up party people you're listening to the journal party podcast where every week we get together to jam out some tasty grooves while we journal through guided journal prompts this community. My name is Alex Gallner, and I'll be your host. Today we're going to be talking about persistence. We all know that feeling, you're trudging through the thick of it and every step feels like an uphill
battle. The only thing you can see ahead is an infinite stretch of road with no end in sight, you'd suddenly doubt your ability to make it to the finish line. But you know, you have to keep going. Somehow. When the going gets tough, it's important to find a source of motivation to keep you going. For some people, that means listening to pump up music or reading inspirational quotes, and for others, it means drawing on their faith or taking a more positive perspective on their
situation. But for many people, myself included, journaling is maybe the best way to work through difficult times. Putting your thoughts and feelings down on paper can help you to process them in a healthy way and develop a plan for moving forward. Today's journal party features five prompts that will help you to stay motivated when the going gets tough. Here's how it works. I'll give you a journal prompt and a groove and you just start writing. After a few minutes you'll hear a little
bell that sounds like this. And we'll move on to the next prompt. After a couple minutes you'll hear the bell again and we'll move on to the next prompt and we'll just keep going like that until we're finished. It's pretty simple pretty fun. So let's get it done. All righty get ready for your first prompt of the day. What is one thing I'm grateful for today? What is one thing I'm grateful for today? Just start writing?
