Journal For Affirmations - Notebook Affirmations That Work
https://lestallion.com/collections/journal-notebook-for-affirmations
Trapped in a negative thought spiral? That critical inner voice telling you "I can't" or "I'm not good enough"? This conversation offers a practical approach to breaking free through the power of written affirmations.
We explore how the simple act of writing positive statements can rewire your brain when done with intention and consistency. The physical process of putting pen to paper creates a powerful connection that mental affirmations alone can't match. As one guest shares, "It's almost like it becomes more real, more solid. It's like sending a signal to your subconscious that you're serious about this."
Through compelling real-life examples, we witness the transformative journey from self-doubt to confidence. A professional woman overcomes workplace insecurity by consistently writing and visualizing her capabilities. An artist silences his brutal inner critic by affirming his unique talents daily. These stories demonstrate how written affirmations gradually shift from feeling like empty words to becoming embodied truths that change behavior and attract new opportunities.
The conversation delves into practical aspects of creating an effective affirmation practice, from selecting meaningful statements to establishing consistency. We explore how quality journaling tools can enhance this experience, creating a ritual that feels special rather than another task on your to-do list. The physical environment you create for your practice matters – "It's like the difference between grabbing coffee on the go versus actually sitting down in a nice cafe to enjoy it."
Ready to transform your mindset? The power to rewrite your thoughts and create your desired reality is already within you. All it takes is a pen, a journal, and the commitment to show up for yourself daily. Your journey to a more positive, empowered mindset begins with the first written affirmation.

Speaker 1:That's a great way to put it. Yeah, and speaking of growth, I remember this story about a friend. She was struggling with self-doubt, you know, especially at work. Oh, self-doubt can be so tough to deal with. Tell me about it. She had all the skills and experience, but she just kept second guessing herself.
Speaker 2:That's so frustrating. Did she ever like figure out a way to overcome that?
Speaker 1:She did, and guess what? It involved affirmations and a Lestallian journal.
Speaker 2:Really Tell me more.
Speaker 1:Okay, so she started using the journal to write affirmations every day. Stuff like I am capable and deserving of success.
Speaker 2:Oh wow, that's powerful stuff.
Speaker 1:I know right, and at first she felt kind of silly doing it Like she was just writing. You know, empty words. I get that it can take a while to really believe in the affirmations, you know For sure, but she kept at it. And then something really interesting happened.
Speaker 2:What was that?
Speaker 1:Well, she started visualizing the affirmations as she was writing them, like actually picturing herself succeed.
Speaker 2:Oh, interesting. So she was engaging her imagination to make the affirmations more real.
Speaker 1:Exactly and you know what. It started to work.
Speaker 2:No way Really Like how.
Speaker 1:She started to carry herself differently, more confidence, you know. She spoke up more in meetings and she even started volunteering for bigger projects.
Speaker 2:Wow, so she was actually changing her behavior based on those affirmations.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it was pretty amazing to see it wasn't like an overnight thing, but she was showing up for herself consistently, feeding her mind those positive messages, and it was really starting to shift to reality.
Speaker 2:It's incredible how powerful that combination can be Writing, visualization and repetition. It reminds me of yeah, it makes you realize our thoughts aren't just like random things happening Right we can actually choose what to focus on. Exactly.
Speaker 1:Okay, so back to my worry spiral. I decided to give affirmations a real shot, and that's when I found Lestallion Journals. Oh nice I was already using a notebook, but there was just something about having a dedicated journal that felt different.
Speaker 2:I feel that, like when something is visually appealing, it just makes you feel better.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and the little stallion journals are just so well designed. You know, the thick paper, the dash lines, it all makes it so much more enjoyable to use.
Speaker 2:It's like setting the stage for a positive mindset.
Speaker 1:Totally. It's like the difference between like grabbing a coffee on the go versus actually sitting down in a nice cafe to enjoy it.
Speaker 2:Oh, I love that analogy. It's the same thing, but the experience is so much better.
Speaker 1:Exactly, and speaking of experiences, my brother. He's an artist super talented, but he's always struggled with self-criticism.
Speaker 2:Oh, I know so many artists who are like that, comparing themselves to others, you know, yeah it's tough.
Speaker 1:His inner critic was just brutal. But I told him about affirmation journaling and even got him a Lestallion journal for his birthday.
Speaker 2:What a great gift idea.
Speaker 1:He was a little hesitant at first, but he gave it a try and it's been amazing to see the change.
Speaker 2:That's awesome. So what kinds of affirmations was he writing?
Speaker 1:Well, he started with things like I am a unique and talented artist and my art brings joy and inspiration to others. Simple but powerful stuff. I love it, oh, and he started using the back pocket of the journal to keep little notes of encouragement that people had given him.
Speaker 2:Oh, that's smart. It's like a little boost to positivity whenever he needs it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and you know, as he kept doing this, his whole energy shifted. He started to focus more on the joy of creating and he's even sharing his work more confidently now.
Speaker 2:That's amazing. It sounds like the affirmations really helped him reclaim his artistic voice.
Speaker 1:They really did, and it just goes to show that affirmations aren't just some like fluffy feel good thing. They can actually help you change your thoughts and beliefs and create a reality that you want.
Speaker 2:Absolutely. It's like actively shaping your life instead of just letting things happen to you.
Speaker 1:And having a journal like Lestallion can really help with that. It's like having a supportive friend cheering you on every step of the way. You know it makes me wonder what affirmations would you write if you had a Lestallion journal right now.
Speaker 2:Hmm, that's a good question, I think, for me. I think I'd go with. I trust the timing of my life.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:It's so easy to get caught up in wanting things to happen right now on my own schedule.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I totally feel that.
Speaker 2:But I think there's something really wise about just letting go a little.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:You know, trusting that things will work out when they're supposed to.
Speaker 1:Ooh, I like that one. It's a good reminder to just like surrender to the flow of life a little bit. Mine would probably be. I am open to receiving abundance in all areas of my life.
Speaker 2:That's a good one too.
Speaker 1:I think I can get stuck in a scarcity mindset sometimes, you know, but I really want to cultivate that feeling of abundance, like knowing there's more than enough of everything to go around enough love, enough joy, enough success.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's all about shifting your focus. If you're always thinking about what you don't have, that's what you're going to attract more of.
Speaker 1:So true. It's like if you can focus on gratitude and abundance, then you open yourself up to receiving all the good things the universe has to offer.
Speaker 2:Exactly.
Speaker 1:You know it's funny. We've been talking a lot about how listellian journals can like enhance your affirmation practice, but I think it goes even deeper than that, like there's something about the brand itself that I really resonate with oh, yeah, how so it feels like they really believe in personal transformation. You know, it's not just about selling journals.
Speaker 2:It's about empowering people to like live better lives I agree, you can really feel that in everything they do like the quality of their products, the messages they share online. It's all very genuine.
Speaker 1:Yes, it's that authenticity that I love. It's like they're saying hey, we're on this journey with you and we believe in you. It's more than just a product, it's like a whole philosophy.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I see what you mean. It's a way of life.
Speaker 1:And I think that's why these journals have become so popular. It's not just a fad or anything. It's a tool that speaks to that human need for growth and self-discovery. I think so too. So for anyone listening who is like feeling inspired to start using affirmations, what advice would you give them?
Speaker 2:Well, I'd say, start small, Pick one or two affirmations that really speak to you, okay, and commit to writing them every day. It doesn't have to be anything fancy or profound, just let the words come from your heart, and consistency is key. You know, it's the repetition that really helps to rewire your brain.
Speaker 1:And find a journal that you love, whether it's Lestallion or something else. Just make it a ritual, a little space where you can connect with yourself and, like, nurture those dreams.
Speaker 2:And be patient. Change takes time. Some days will be harder than others. You might feel resistant or doubtful.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, for sure.
Speaker 2:But just keep showing up, keep writing those affirmations, trust the process.
Speaker 1:Beautifully said. Well, this has been such an inspiring deep dive into the world of affirmations, and we've loved exploring how a journal like those from Lostallion can play such a big role in that journey.
Speaker 2:Absolutely.
Speaker 1:We hope you found this valuable and maybe even a little bit life changing, and remember you have the power to create the reality you want.
Speaker 2:That's right.
Speaker 1:It all starts with shifting those thoughts. So until next time, keep those positive vibes flowing.
