Decide Between the Two Options

New to Journal Party?

Meet your journal's new best friend.

This program is for anyone stuck between two real options, running the same two choices in circles without landing anywhere. If you keep going back and forth, weighing pros and cons in your head but never feeling settled, this session gives that back and forth a clear structure to move through. A session works through six prompts that walk you from naming the two options clearly, to what each one actually offers, to noticing which way you already lean. You write in your journal as you go, with a timer keeping the pace steady and music or soundscapes playing quietly behind you, so you can stay with the question instead of drifting from it. The later prompts have you weigh what you'd give up either way and check your lean against what matters most to you. You leave with more than a leaning. You leave with the actual decision named, and the words to say it out loud or act on it.

• A prompt when you need one

  Every session opens with a question, so you never start at a blank page.

• A timer and music

  Each prompt gets its own timer. Turn on music or a soundscape if you like company.

• New programs every week

  Hundreds of programs with new releases every week, and daily prompts for journaling.
