You know those moments when you're trying so hard to stay on track but something just pulls you in the other direction .

For me , it's actually pizza . We've all been there , and that's why today you're trying to eat healthier . For me , it's actually pizza . We've all been there , and that's why today we're going to be jamming through five journal prompts to help us to understand and manage temptation better . So go ahead and grab your journal and find a comfy spot . Let's dive on in .

Prompt number three what are some tricks or strategies you've used to resist temptation ? Maybe it's avoiding certain situations , or maybe it's a mantra you repeat to yourself no-transcript . So Prom number four . Everyone has that one thing they find almost impossible to resist what's yours . Why do you think it's so hard to say no to it ? Reflect on what this temptation reveals about your needs or desires and how you might address no-transcript . What do they say to each other and who wins out in the end ? Thank you , so Thank you . Thank you all right party people .

If you're interested in connecting a little bit deeper with the community , I'd also like to let you know that we connect every Wednesday on a live stream . The best way to join up on that is to either connect with us on our private Facebook group there's a link in the show notes for that or you can subscribe to our YouTube channel and make sure you turn the notifications on , and we usually do that every Wednesday night at 6 pm Pacific Standard Time so that would be 9 pm Eastern Standard Time and usually it's every Wednesday night . Sometimes we do it on Fridays , mix it up a little bit , but we've been doing that just about every Wednesday and it's been a total blast . We just get together and usually journal through the newer programs that we debut inside of the app . But it's 100% free , totally fun , just a really great way to connect live with the members of the journal party family .
