## Resource

L' Shawn and Eryn continue their survey of the "Explore" section, focusing on the journal prompt about believing in oneself and capacity to do hard things. They discuss how to approach past challenges by observing them objectively as if through an anthropologist's lens, identifying strengths, and applying lessons learned to current situations. L' Shawn shares her experience transitioning from teaching young adults to children in Japan, emphasizing how observing veteran teachers and receiving feedback helped her succeed. Eryn explores the concept of neutral observation and reflection, suggesting that journaling with curiosity rather than judgment can help identify what's working and understanding one's values. They discuss the importance of embodying feelings and using body awareness as a guide for alignment, with L' Shawn sharing techniques like muscle testing to determine if actions align with personal values.
