All right. So today we're diving into something a little different.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 1:We're going to be exploring 50 St Patrick's Day journal prompts.
Speaker 2:Interesting.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and they come from this website listallioncom.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 1:And you know they're all about journaling. They sell journals.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:They've got a ton of content like prompts and articles. But here's the thing about these prompts Okay, they really go way beyond, just like you know, shamrocks and leprechauns, right. It's more about, you know, reflecting on traditions and luck and gratitude, even personal growth. You know, it's almost like a chance to do some like deep self-discovery.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:But all wrapped up in the spirit of St Patrick's Day. So I'm curious, like when you first looked at these, what really jumped out at you?
Speaker 2:What's really fascinating to me is that they kind of take you on like multiple journeys at once.
Speaker 1:Oh, interesting.
Speaker 2:You've got prompts that are tapping into your personal memories. Then there's other ones that are reflections on Irish culture, right, and then you've even got some philosophical questions about luck, and then they even weave in these practical, goal setting prompts. So it's this layered approach that I think, makes them relevant, like all year round.
Speaker 1:I agree.
Speaker 2:Not just for St Patrick's Day.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's like they're saying okay, sure, let's celebrate.
Speaker 2:Right.
Speaker 1:But let's also use this time for some like serious introspection.
Speaker 2:Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1:And there are some really intriguing ones in here.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah.
Speaker 1:Like this one, reflect on the role of storytelling in Irish culture. What's a personal story you'd like to pass down?
Speaker 2:That's a great one.
Speaker 1:Makes you think about. You know, like the power of stories and how they connect us.
Speaker 2:Yeah, across generations.
Speaker 1:Exactly OK, this one stopped me in my tracks.
Speaker 2:OK.
Speaker 1:What does the phrase luck of the Irish mean to you? How can you embrace this idea in your daily life? It's like wait a minute. What's that even mean? Is that just a saying, or is there something deeper there?
Speaker 2:It's kind of challenging you to unpack that common saying and figure out what it means, like on a personal level. Is it about feeling blessed? Is it about resilience in the face of adversity? Is it about, you know, creating your own luck? It's a chance to really examine, like our beliefs about luck and how much control we have over our own destiny that encourage us to like translate our reflections into action. Oh, interesting.
Speaker 1:Like there's one that says think about a time you created a lucky moment for someone else. How did it make you feel?
Speaker 2:Right.
Speaker 1:It's almost like taking those warm, fuzzy feelings of a holiday and turning them into something like tantal, something that can make a difference in someone's life.
Speaker 2:I love how that like flips the script Instead of waiting for luck to find us, it's like we can be the source of luck for others.
Speaker 1:Holy.
Speaker 2:What a beautiful way to spread joy.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:And create that ripple effect of positivity.
Speaker 1:That really resonates with me. Okay, so I want to talk about something that I found really interesting, like a lot of the prompts about luck. It's like they're not saying it's purely random. It's almost like they're suggesting that we have more agency than we think.
Speaker 2:You're picking up on a really subtle but important thread there. Oh, ok, you know there is this underlying message that, while you know some things are definitely outside of our control, we can actually influence what we perceive as luck.
Speaker 1:Right.
Speaker 2:Through our actions and choices. Like there's one that asks you to write about a situation where you created your own luck Right Through our actions and choices, like there's one that asks you to write about a situation where you created your own luck through effort and determination. It's a powerful reminder that we're not just like passive recipients of fortune. We can actively shape our destinies.
Speaker 1:Totally. It's not just wishing on a four leaf clover.
Speaker 2:Exactly.
Speaker 1:It's putting in the work. It's not just wishing on a four-leaf clover. It's putting in the work having the right mindset, being open to opportunities.
Speaker 2:Yes.
Speaker 1:And that reminds me of another one. Yeah, think about a time you felt unlucky. How did you turn the experience into an opportunity for growth?
Speaker 2:Oh, that's a good one.
Speaker 1:It's like, okay, bad stuff happens, but what did you learn from it? How did it make you stronger?
Speaker 2:That reframing is so crucial. You know it's not about like denying that setbacks happen.
Speaker 1:Right.
Speaker 2:It's about finding that silver lining, the less the seed of opportunity within those challenges and, honestly, that's a skill that can transform your whole life.
Speaker 1:For sure.
Speaker 2:Not just around St Patrick's Day.
Speaker 1:I completely agree. It's about resilience, isn't it?
Speaker 2:Exactly.
Speaker 1:It's about that ability to bounce back from adversity and just keep moving forward.
Speaker 2:And that's where personal growth comes in, you know.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:These prompts aren't just about reflecting on the past.
Speaker 1:Right.
Speaker 2:It's about using those reflections to create a better future. I like that, Like there's one. What is one small goal you can set this St Patrick's Day to make the most of this season of change? It's like, hey, spring is a time for new beginnings.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Let's harness that energy and set ourselves up for success.
Speaker 1:It's a nice reminder that we don't have to wait for January 1st to set goals. We can choose any moment to create positive change.
Speaker 2:Absolutely, and that connects to another prompt that encourages us to think about. You know how those small daily actions contribute to our larger goals and dreams. So it's kind of like a gentle nudge, to focus on that consistency, on those tiny steps that we take each day that ultimately lead us where we want to go.
Speaker 1:I love that. Forget the grand gestures.
Speaker 2:Exactly.
Speaker 1:Just focus on showing up every day doing the work, even if it's just a little bit.
Speaker 2:Exactly, and sometimes those small, consistent actions are what lead to those big breakthroughs.
Speaker 1:Okay, so I want to shift gears just a little bit.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 1:And talk about the prompts that focus on gratitude and reflection. You know, in today's world it's so easy to get caught up in the hustle.
Speaker 2:Oh, for sure.
Speaker 1:And forget to just appreciate what we have.
Speaker 2:You're absolutely right, and these prompts offer like a beautiful counterpoint to that always striving mentality.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:There's one, three things you're grateful for the St Patrick's Day. How can you make gratitude a daily practice? Okay, it's a really simple but powerful reminder to shift our focus from what we lack to what we have.
Speaker 1:It's like that saying gratitude turns what we have into enough.
Speaker 2:Yes.
Speaker 1:It's about appreciating the abundance that's already there.
Speaker 2:Exactly, both big and small.
Speaker 1:Or big and small Exactly, and speaking of appreciating the people in our lives.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah.
Speaker 1:There's a prompt that says write about someone in your life who feels like a lucky charm. How do they inspire you?
Speaker 2:That's a beautiful one.
Speaker 1:It's recognizing those people who bring you know, joy, support, a sense of wonder into your life.
Speaker 2:Yeah, who are those?
Speaker 1:people for you. It really makes you stop and think about the people who make you feel lucky, just to know them.
