You came back! That's huge—because Day 2 of the Blueprint is where most people skip ahead too fast.

After becoming aware of what you're feeling (Day 1), the natural instinct is to jump straight to problem-solving. "This is how I'm feeling, this is why, so I should just DO THIS to fix it."

But jumping to solutions too quickly? You're skipping over a massive piece.

What you're missing: The judgments, expectations, and meanings you're attaching to everything.

In this 3-minute episode:

• Why it's NOT true that "it doesn't matter what other people think" (that phrase just forces you to stifle your actual feelings)
• Today's chance to honor the judgments you have for yourself (or feel from others)
• The expectations you're trying to live up to
• The meanings you're attaching to everything you wrote in Day 1

Today's journaling prompts:

Look at what you wrote yesterday and ask yourself:

• What meaning am I attaching to this?
• What do I think others are thinking about me?
• What expectations am I trying to live up to?
• Where do I feel like I'm dropping the ball?
• Where am I judging myself?

Permission granted: Be as petty as you want. Be honest. Release any criticism. Write for 2 minutes—or write 2 words. Whatever comes forward is exactly what you're supposed to feel today.

Why this matters: "This day is one of the biggest breakthroughs that people have."
