☁️ What are Mind Prompt Tracks?

Audio tracks with 20 - 30 curated, guided questions that help you think differently, solve problems, and create change.

You can listen while doing low attention tasks e.g. walking, folding clothes or stretching (don’t use these tracks while doing anything that requires your full attention to do safely e.g. driving - I did mention driving in this because.. I use these when I'm driving super familiar routes - Use your own judgment, you know you best, I'll advise against for safety reasons!!).

Each track focuses on a specific theme.

You don’t need to answer out loud or write unless that’s your preference. Just listen and notice what comes up.

They are designed to prompt your subconscious mind, pointing it in the right direction, so that it can work for you in the background.

Think of your subconscious as an assistant.

When you start listening to a Mind Prompt Track, you give a specific area of your life or outcome that you want consistent, gentle attention. It (your subconscious) notices. It wants to help you to solve your problems and to get what you want.

Buut it can help you much more easily when you’ve:

Let go of your old thinking about the problem/area/outcome

Framed the problem in the right way

Figured out exactly what’s in your way that you need to overcome

Acknowledged and let go of unhelpful assumptions

Pointed it in the right direction as to how to think

Mind Prompt Tracks are designed to do all of the above. When you use Mind Prompt Tracks, you stop trying to push your way forward and start letting your mind do what it’s built to do - solve your problems, create clarity, and move you toward what you want.

When you try to solve a problem by thinking harder, it usually backfires. The more pressure you add, the less creative and open your mind becomes.

Mind Prompt Tracks work because they do the opposite. They help you look at a problem in a light, curious way, without urgency or self-judgment. They direct your subconscious mind to get to work on your goals and problems for you, with minimal effort involved.

Most of this video is just... years of experience with journaling (with a lot of giving up on journaling, trying again, noticing what worked and noticing what didn't. But there are always sooo many smart people that have influenced me along the way. In this video, that includes:
🔗 Judd Brewer talks a lot about the "emotional juice" of memories in the context of anxiety - I looove that wording and using it a few times in this video.
🔗 The idea of "dropping a question into your mind like you're dropping a pebble into a pond" is from a book with a one-word title - unfortunately I can't remember the name of it! If it comes to me I will add here.
🔗 "Sentence starters" is something I got into after reading "Unlocking The Emotional Brain" - this book is... amazing, life-changing lol and has nothing to do with journaling at all, but also has everything to do with journaling for me: https://amzn.to/4z3Ib7S

🔗 The idea of memories holding emotional juice was also something that came from using "imagery rescripting", more on that here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2qPNirHniQ

🔗 The research on venting "Don't ignore your negative emotions, but don't dwell on them": https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/happy-together/202309/do-you-vent-because-you-think-its-good-for-you-think-again
