It doesn't matter if it's a fancy listallion journal or you know, just a scrap of paper. It's powerful. And what I like about what listallion's done is they've grouped the prompts into five themes.

Speaker 2:It's like a roadmap for self-reflection.
Speaker 1:Okay, I like that. So let's break down these themes a little bit. First one reflecting on personal growth.

Speaker 2:Exactly. It's all about acknowledging that journey you've already taken, how you've evolved, the challenges you know, the moments that have shaped who you are.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:And there are even prompts that ask you to like pinpoint areas where you've grown the most.
Speaker 1:Ooh, interesting.
Speaker 2:Which I think is a great way to kind of recognize your strengths.

Speaker 2:Oh, I like that.
Speaker 1:Makes you think about those little victories we often just like brush aside.

Speaker 1:Wow, powerful, Right. And Lestallion, you know, throws in a little quote here. Just you know, classic Lestallion, Growth starts with setting clear intentions. When you know where you want to go, the path to get there becomes clearer with every step. I know, I know sales pitch, but I mean there's truth to that.
Speaker 2:There is. It's about having a vision, and this theme it gets specific to like prompts, about forming new habits that align with your goals. Yeah, I like that and habits, we know they can really, you know, make a huge difference over time.

Speaker 1:Right and Lestallion. They jump right in with a prompt about a relationship that has ended.
Speaker 2:Ooh, yeah.
Speaker 1:That can be such a turning point.
Speaker 2:It can, and endings, as painful as they can be, they can teach us so much. This prompt encourages you to like dig into how that experience made you grow. What did you learn?
Speaker 1:from it.
Speaker 2:What did you take with you? And it's not just romantic relationships, right? No, not at all. There's one about like someone who's inspired, made you grow what did you learn from it?
Speaker 1:what did you take with you? And it's not just romantic relationships right? No, not at all there's one about like someone who's inspired your personal growth, someone you really admire, a mentor yeah, mentor friend, a family member it's about recognizing that influence, you know yeah, and and of course listellian has another one of their uh nuggets of wisdom here. Relationships are powerful mirrors for growth. They show us who we are and who we are becoming through the connections we share.

We'll unpack specific prompt, give some practical tips and really explore how to make this whole self-reflection thing really work for you.
Speaker 1:I can't wait. But before we jump ahead, let's take a moment to just like absorb what we've talked about so far.
Speaker 2:Yeah, take a breath, think about which theme resonated with you. Is there an area of your life where you're feeling drawn to reflect, you know, set some intentions or maybe even to celebrate your progress?
Speaker 1:All right. So we're back diving deeper into these Lestallion Journal prompts and, you know, I think it's time to get a little more practical.
Speaker 2:Yeah, let's, let's do it. I actually jotted down a few that really stood out to me while we were talking oh nice, let's do it. I actually jotted down a few that really stood out to me while we were talking oh nice, let's start with that first theme, the reflecting on personal growth. One. Ok, there's this one. It asks Think about one area of your life where you've grown the most in the past year. What changes have you noticed and how has this growth impacted you?
Speaker 1:I like that one. It's, it's broad right. It can be anything career relationships, you know whatever.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's like a big picture view of the last year.
Speaker 1:Exactly.
Speaker 2:And then it asks how that growth has impacted you. That's where it gets interesting, totally.
Speaker 1:Because it's all connected right, Like growth in one area can affect other parts of your life. It's like a domino effect.
Speaker 2:Right Like, let's say, you've been working on your communication skills. You become more assertive and maybe that makes you more confident in your relationships too.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, I see that. Okay, let's move on to the next theme Setting intentions for future growth. This one, this one I like. Think about a new habit you want to form. How will this habit contribute to your overall growth and what steps will you take to build it?
Speaker 2:Actionable, right? Yes, it's about habits. Habits, yeah, we all know how powerful they can be.
Speaker 1:they really can, but I like how this prompt it makes you think about the purpose of the habit you know yeah how it connects to your overall growth it's not just another thing on your to-do list exactly so. For example, if you want to start meditating every day, it's helpful to think about why. Like is it? To reduce stress, improve focus.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that why is important, keeps you motivated. And then the prompt goes even further. It asks about the steps you'll take to build that habit.
Speaker 1:Okay, so it's like a plan, a roadmap.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Okay, theme three learning from challenges. This one, I think a lot of people will relate to Write about a time when you felt discouraged but persevered. How did you pick yourself back up and what growth came from that experience. I mean, we all face challenges, right?
Speaker 2:Oh, absolutely. This prompt is about resilience. We all have those moments where we want to give up, but it's about how we push through.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and this prompt. It makes you think about a time you did just that. You know you faced something tough, but you didn't give up.
Speaker 2:And then it asks what did you learn from that?
Speaker 1:Right, because sometimes those challenges they're the biggest teachers.
Speaker 2:They really are.
Speaker 1:Moving on to reflecting on relationships and growth, this one got me thinking. Think about a relationship that has helped you grow. What did you learn from this person, and how has it impacted who you are today?
Speaker 2:Relationships are so powerful, aren't they?
Speaker 1:They really are. This prompt is about acknowledging the people who have shaped us, inspired us.
Speaker 2:And it doesn't have to be romantic.
Speaker 1:No, it could be anyone a mentor, a friend, a family member.
Speaker 2:Even someone you haven't known for very long.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's about recognizing that impact they've had on us. Okay, last theme, celebrating your journey. I always love this part. There's a prompt here that says to write a letter to your future self congratulating them on how much they've grown.
Speaker 2:That's a nice one. It's like a little self-love boost.
Speaker 1:It is, and sometimes we need that right. It's so easy to get caught up in the day-to-day and forget to appreciate how far we've come.
Speaker 2:It's about focusing on the positive, what we have accomplished.
Speaker 1:Exactly and this prompt. It's about celebrating all of that.
Speaker 2:The big wins and the small wins.
Speaker 1:Yes, and recognizing that growth it's a journey. It never really ends.
Speaker 2:There's always more to learn more to experience, and that's the beauty of it, right, Okay, ready for more prompts. I'm really interested in the ones that you know kind of challenges to think differently.
Speaker 1:Yeah, me too. Let's see when were we Learning from challenges? Okay, this one is pretty relevant. I think Right about a time when you had to adapt to a significant change. What challenges did you face and how did you navigate them? I mean, change is a part of life, right it?
Speaker 2:is a big part, and this prompt is all about how we deal with it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and sometimes it's good to look back and see like, wow, I got through that, you know it reminds us that we're stronger than we think. Exactly. Okay, let's jump to reflecting on relationships and growth. This one might be a little tougher. Think about a relationship that has ended. How did this experience contribute to your personal development and what lessons did you carry forward?
Speaker 2:Endings are never easy, they're not, but they can teach us a lot.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:This prompt. It's about looking for the growth in that experience, Like what did you learn about yourself, your needs, your boundaries, maybe even what you're looking for in future relationships?
Speaker 1:It's about finding those lessons.
Speaker 2:Exactly. Sometimes those relationships, even though they end, they change us for the better.

Speaker 2:Love this theme.
