January's Journal Prompts

8 new prompts to help you build a more resilient mindset

Hey, Chasers!

As we mentioned last weekend, we've been working to create more resources to help you chase what truly matters in 2025.

Specifically, we want to provide more catalysts for action.

In light of that, we'll send monthly journal prompts inspired by conversations we’ve had on the show.

Free subscribers will receive a few prompts each batch, while Chase Club members will get all eight.

Journaling is a powerful tool, and we hope these prompts strengthen your existing practice or motivate you to start one.

Thanks for being here,

👊 Ben & Patrick

PS: Just a reminder that we’re running a January special where you can get a year of the Chase Club for 40% off the usual price.

Turning Triggers into Growth

Our reactions to life's challenges can significantly impact our mental and emotional well-being. The suggestion to view being triggered as an opportunity to develop your character is a powerful shift in perspective. Instead of seeing these moments as frustrations or setbacks, we can reframe them as chances for personal growth and self-improvement.

This mindset shift doesn't mean ignoring or suppressing your emotions. Rather, it's about acknowledging them and then choosing to respond in a way that aligns with your values and contributes to your personal development. Over time, this practice can lead to increased emotional resilience and a more positive outlook on life's challenges.

Think about a recent situation where you felt triggered or upset. How could you have viewed this as an opportunity for character development? What specific aspects of your character (patience, compassion, resilience, etc.) could you have focused on improving in that moment?

Creating an Environment for Health

Our environment plays a crucial role in shaping our health habits. We often emphasize the importance of creating an environment that makes it easy to eat well, move often, sleep lots, think deeply, and create real connections. This involves intentionally structuring our surroundings to support healthy choices.

By setting up our environment for success, we reduce the need for constant willpower and make healthy choices more automatic. This could involve keeping nutritious foods readily available, setting up a dedicated workout space, or creating a relaxing bedtime routine.

Reflect on your current environment. What are three specific changes you could make to your home, workplace, or daily routine that would make it easier for you to maintain healthy habits?

In our crazy-paced world, multitasking is often seen as a valuable skill. However, research consistently shows that the human brain isn't built for true multitasking. What we perceive as multitasking is actually rapid task-switching, which can lead to decreased productivity, increased errors, and mental fatigue.
