Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 1:It's like they nudge you to think more deeply without overcomplicating things.
Speaker 2:I like how they do that, yeah, so for example in the June memories section.
Speaker 1:They don't just ask what did you do?
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:It's more like what was the funniest thing that happened, or how did the weather impact your activities?
Speaker 2:Yeah, there's a real strategy to that.
Speaker 1:Oh, totally.

Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Those little details tied to an emotion make those memories so strong.
Speaker 2:That's exactly how it works. Our brains latch onto those emotional cues.
Speaker 1:It's fascinating.
Speaker 2:And then, when you revisit those memories, it activates the same neural pathways, making them stronger and easier to recall, and that helps us understand our own behavioral patterns.
Speaker 1:Which helps us make better choices. Exactly it all comes together.
Speaker 2:It does, but you know what? There's one area that a lot of people tend to avoid when reflecting. With that Challenges.
Speaker 1:Yeah, even the thought of June's challenges right now. Right, it's a bit much. Yeah, but I will say Lestallion handles it really well.
Speaker 2:They do. They do In that June challenges section. The prompts are really good because they reframe those perceived failures into learning opportunities.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and the way they phrase them makes it less intimidating. Oh, absolutely Like they don't just say list your biggest failures.
Speaker 2:Ouch, nobody wants to do that, come on, it's more like what did you struggle with at work or school?
Speaker 1:Much better.
Speaker 2:Right, or how did you manage stress? I mean, these are things we all experience.
Speaker 1:Exactly, and just the act of writing about these things, even if you don't have solutions yet, can be really therapeutic in itself. Totally, it really is like processing those emotions and getting them out there.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's like talking it out with a friend, but instead of just venting.
Speaker 1:Right.
Speaker 2:These prompts actually help you process and learn from it? They do, and now let's switch gears from challenges to achievements. Lestallion has this whole section on your June achievements.
Speaker 1:Yeah. But it goes beyond, just like the big obvious wins you know, yeah, and this part is so important for our listeners, I think.
Speaker 2:Right.
Speaker 1:Especially, you know people who are constantly striving for progress. Absolutely. It's so easy to get caught up in the daily grind and overlook those small wins.
Speaker 2:Especially with a busy schedule, you're so focused on the finish line that you kind of forget to appreciate the journey.
Speaker 1:And all those little milestones along the way.
Speaker 2:Exactly.
Speaker 1:Which is exactly what these prompts make you celebrate.
Speaker 2:Yes, they want you to acknowledge those smaller achievements, those things that often get overlooked.
Speaker 1:It's so true.
Speaker 2:Like did you finish any important tasks Things like that or what skills did you improve? These are all about recognizing your effort and your growth, even if they don't feel monumental at the time.
Speaker 1:It's so true. We tend to just downplay our accomplishments, you know.
Speaker 2:We do.
Speaker 1:But acknowledging even those small achievements can actually really boost your motivation.
Speaker 2:It really can. It's like giving yourself permission to celebrate and say, hey, you know what I'm doing, all right.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:It's positive reinforcement and action.
Speaker 1:I love that.
Speaker 2:And often those small wins. They create this ripple effect, building momentum for the bigger achievements later on. I like that. And not only that, but celebrating those wins can help combat negative self-talk.
Speaker 1:Oh, for sure.
Speaker 2:Which I think we all struggle with Absolutely At times.
Speaker 1:Yeah. So, speaking of achievements and work and all that, this next part really resonated with me, where Lestallion wraps up with your June reflections and planning for post-June.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 1:It's like they're tying it all together.
Speaker 2:Absolutely. Lestallion highlights this really important cyclical nature of reflection and planning.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:It's not just about looking back on June. It's about how those reflections actually shape your future. It's true, and these prompts, they capture that bigger picture mentality.
Speaker 1:Yeah, they do. They prompt you to think about things like how has your life changed since last June, yeah. Or what habits do you want to build? Or even, how will you prepare for the end of summer?
Speaker 2:Right.
Speaker 1:You know it's less about June and more about your overall trajectory at that point.
Speaker 2:Exactly, and it shows how these journal prompts offer value beyond just a single month. They're like a framework for this ongoing self-reflection and growth. I like that, no matter what it is you're focused on.

Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:They're way more valuable than like trying to force these big sweeping changes. You know.
Speaker 1:Oh, absolutely yeah, but how often do we actually take the time for this kind of reflection, right?
Speaker 2:It's easy to forget.
Speaker 1:So easy to get caught up in the day to day and just completely forget to just like hit pause for a second.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you just get swept up in everything.
Speaker 1:Totally. And these prompts are like this. You know they're like a gentle nudge to slow down.
Speaker 2:They are.
Speaker 1:Pay attention to what we're actually experiencing.
Speaker 2:And for people who are constantly on the go, like most of our listeners probably, you really got to find ways to integrate this into your routine.
Speaker 1:It's essential and I bet you our listeners are thinking like OK, this is all great.
Speaker 2:When am I supposed to do this Right?
Speaker 1:When am I going to find time to journal every day? But that's the beauty of this.
Speaker 2:Exactly.
Speaker 1:Lestallion's approach doesn't have to take hours you know, even a few minutes can make a difference.

Speaker 1:Totally so. As we wrap up our deep dive into these journal prompts, what would you say is the main takeaway for our listeners?
