Retire the Excuse You Keep Using

New to Journal Party?

Meet your journal's new best friend.

This session is for anyone who keeps reaching for the same excuse and has started to suspect it isn't the real reason. If you're stuck between what you say is stopping you and what's actually stopping you, these prompts help you find the difference and decide what to do about it. You'll move through 7 prompts that start by naming the excuse, then trace where it started, find what's really true underneath it, and see what it's actually costing you. A timer keeps each step moving so you don't overthink, and quiet music or soundscapes play in the background to help you stay with it. You write in your journal as you go, working toward one honest sentence about what's really going on. You leave with that honest sentence and a specific action to take in the next 24 hours, something small enough to actually do.

• 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.
