All right. So today we're diving into something that I think a lot of our listeners are going to find really interesting, yeah, and that is journaling for self-improvement, and specifically, we're looking at these 50 men's journal prompts.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 1:From this blog called Lestallion. Have you heard of this blog?
Speaker 2:I have. Yeah, they're all about like helping guys unlock their potential through writing.
Speaker 1:I love that, and so the idea of like prompts that are specifically designed for men, I think, is super intriguing.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's interesting how they approach this. You know, it's not just like right about your day kind of thing. Right, they're really trying to get at those areas where maybe guys typically hold back a little bit.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:You know, talking about their emotions and vulnerabilities and all that stuff that you know. Society tells us we should just keep bottled up.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's like they're providing like a safe space, but it's on paper. Yeah, to kind of explore all of that stuff.
Speaker 2:Exactly.
Speaker 1:OK, so the stallion breaks these 50 prompts down into four different areas Personal growth, strong relationships, emotional wellness and health and fitness. And then they have a whole separate section on embracing new beginnings.
Speaker 2:Pretty comprehensive.
Speaker 1:It sounds pretty comprehensive yeah.
Speaker 2:And you know, I think what's really smart about this is they recognize that all of these areas are actually intertwined. Yes, you think about it like you know, you're not going to crush your fitness goals just by hitting the gym.
Speaker 1:Right.
Speaker 2:You need that mental toughness, you need self-belief, and like those are personal growth skills too.
Speaker 1:Totally. It's like that, saying like strong mind, strong body.
Speaker 2:Exactly.
Speaker 1:So let's kind of unpack some of these prompts.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 1:In the personal growth section. They really push you to define your values. There's one prompt that asks how do you define success in your personal life?
Speaker 2:Oh, interesting.
Speaker 1:Not career success, but what makes you feel accomplished, accomplished like as a person.
Speaker 2:That's such a good question because you know what society tells us. Success is as often so different from what actually makes us feel fulfilled as individuals. So I think it's really valuable to cut through all the noise and get to the core of what really matters to you.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Another prompt in this section that I thought was really interesting was what's one area you'd like to continue growing in?
Speaker 1:Well, that's a good one.
Speaker 2:Yeah, because it emphasizes that idea that you know personal growth is a lifelong journey.
Speaker 1:It's not a destination.
Speaker 2:Right, exactly. You don't just hit some level and you're like, okay, I'm done.
Speaker 1:I'm a fully formed person now.
Speaker 2:Exactly, but it's easy to get complacent.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:So I think that prompt is a good reminder to keep consciously moving forward.
Speaker 1:Yeah, to always be kind of leveling up in some way. Yeah, so speaking of moving forward. Let's shift to the strong relationship section. Ok, this one really dives into like the nitty gritty of what makes relationships thrive of what makes relationships thrive. Yeah, like communication, appreciation, and even like navigating those tough conversations that we all try to avoid.
Speaker 2:Oh, for sure.
Speaker 1:There's one prompt that stood out to me, and it was how do you set boundaries in relationships to protect your mental health?
Speaker 2:Oh, that's huge. I think we've all been in those situations where we felt like our boundaries were crossed.
Speaker 1:Totally.
Speaker 2:But we didn't necessarily speak up. Yeah, so I love that this prompt is making us think about. You know, where are we not setting those clear boundaries, and what is that costing us?
Speaker 1:That's a great point and it makes you think about you know, healthy relationships are built on mutual respect.
Speaker 2:For sure.
Speaker 1:And part of that is honoring your own needs and limits.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you can't pour from an empty cup, right?
Speaker 1:Exactly, and Lestallion doesn't just limit this to like romantic relationships.
Speaker 2:Right.
Speaker 1:They also have prompts for friendships and family dynamics too.
Speaker 2:It makes sense because those boundaries are important across the board.
Speaker 1:Yeah, absolutely. There's also a prompt about learning from past relationships, which I think ties in really nicely with the personal growth theme that we were talking about.
Speaker 2:It's about recognizing those patterns you know, understanding what worked and what didn't in those past relationships.
Speaker 1:Right.
Speaker 2:And then using those insights to build stronger, healthier connections, moving forward.
Speaker 1:It's like turning those past experiences into valuable lessons for the future.
Speaker 2:Exactly. So, yeah, and so now we're getting to a section that I think is super important. Okay, especially for men, you know.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Who might have been raised with that whole? Like boys, don't cry. Mentality Right, emotional wellness.
Speaker 1:Like Lestallion is saying, hey, it's not just okay to have emotions.
Speaker 2:Right.
Speaker 1:It's essential, yeah, Like to acknowledge them, to process them Exactly. And there's one prompt that just it's so direct. It says what is one emotion you've been struggling with recently and how do you cope with it?
Speaker 2:Oh, wow.
Speaker 1:It's like forcing you to just confront it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you can't really avoid it when it's staring you right in the face.
Speaker 1:Right, those feelings that you might be trying to like bury down.
Speaker 2:Exactly, and you know, it's about developing that emotional literacy, being able to like, identify and understand your emotions so you can actually manage them effectively.
Speaker 1:That makes sense.
Speaker 2:And they don't shy away from the tougher emotions either, like there are prompts that are specifically for dealing with anger and loneliness.
Speaker 1:Which, let's be real, like we all experience those things. Absolutely At some point. Oh, but it's what we do with them that matters, and Lestallion seems to be encouraging a more like, mindful approach. There's one prompt that asks how do you handle feelings of loneliness or isolation?
Speaker 2:Oh, that's a good one.
Speaker 1:So it's not just about like wallowing in it. Right, it's about thinking okay, how do I build meaningful connections?
Speaker 2:Yes, and I think that's such a powerful antidote to loneliness.
Speaker 1:Totally.
Speaker 2:It's, you know, recognizing that we're social creatures and we need that connection for our well-being.
Speaker 1:Yeah, for sure. So now let's shift gears to a topic that I know a lot of our listeners are probably interested in Okay Health and fitness. Yeah, and what I appreciate about Lestallion's approach here is that they go beyond, like the superficial stuff.
Speaker 2:Oh, yeah, totally.
Speaker 1:Like there's a prompt that says define health beyond physical fitness.
Speaker 2:I love that.
Speaker 1:It's like it's making you think bigger picture. You know what about your mental and emotional health? It's like it's making you think bigger picture. You know what about? Your mental and emotional health, your energy levels Right, just your overall sense of well-being.
Speaker 2:It's about understanding that true health is holistic.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's not just about like six-pack abs.
Speaker 2:Right, exactly.
Speaker 1:And then they also delve into the mindset piece which, as we've discussed, is so interconnected with all those other areas.
Speaker 2:Yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 1:There's a prompt that asks how do you stay motivated to maintain your fitness goals?
Speaker 2:Oh, that's a good one, because, you know, motivation isn't just about willpower, right, it's about setting yourself up for success with like sustainable habits Totally and a positive mindset.
Speaker 1:It's like are your strategies actually working for you?
Speaker 2:Exactly In the long run. Yes, Okay.

Speaker 1:Totally. And Lestallion doesn't stop there.
Speaker 2:No.

Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Because it's easy to get overwhelmed by like these huge goals, but if you just take one small step every day, Exactly it adds up.
