Prom[p]t User Experience
After launching Prom[p]t 15 weeks ago, we are excited to receive so much positive feedback from our community. We have discovered that Prom[p]t has resonated with and touched people in different and diverse ways. We are happy that folks have shared with us many different ways they are utilizing the Prom[p]t Set in their daily practice.
One group of users shared how they had a Connect Circle but instead of journaling the group used the prompts and images to inspire their paintings. After the group completed their inspired paintings many of the members processed the experience and shared thoughts and emotions that came up during their artwork.
Other users have used the prompts and images to enhance conversation and intimacy. In this blog series Lili shares how she used the prompts to enhance conversation with her boyfriend thus leading to deeper connection. Yet another user has shared that she brought the set to dinner with her family as a way to open conversation about spirituality.
We introduce the journaling component of our Connect Circles with a brief meditation. It is with great joy that we have heard from users who use the prompts simply to meditate. Some folks discuss looking at a card first thing in the morning and letting the prompt percolate throughout the day. In this blog series Diane shares how she often starts her day with her journaling but also reflects throughout the day and often revisits her journaling at night to see what has perhaps changed throughout the day.
Many of our users express that they were already journalers and found the experience of using prompts an enhancement to the experience. Folks have shared with us that utilizing the image and a prompt has often led them to places of growth that they wouldn’t otherwise have visited. In this series Peg discusses self care and the addition of journaling with the Deep Awakenings Journal Set as a positive force in her life.
Meet Lili, Peg, and Diane
Perhaps the most interesting application of the Prom[p]t Journaling Set is when one of our Connect participants placed the Deep Awakening box on her nightstand next to her bed, replacing her cell phone. The idea of the Prom[p]t Set bringing peace and quiet before sleep is humbling.
For us, these creative uses of the product are profound. When imagining and creating the product, we thought a lot about our community. We wanted a box that would be visually appealing and would prompt people to want to display the box. We wanted to create a box that had a soft feel and would foster a soothing feeling when handled. We wanted to create something that encouraged users to journal and… well, to use it. That being said, the intimate ways our community has welcomed the journaling set into their lives is awe-inspiring and again, humbling. We are ever grateful for the feedback, love and community.
Check out our series this month for guest blogs on individual uses and please keep sharing your experiences with us!
Love,
Andrea & Co
