Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome back to the
Deep Dive.
So we often talk aboutachieving goals, positive
mindset, all that stuff we doToday.
Let's get into somethingspecific manifestation and how
using a journal like reallyusing it intentionally can
actually be this well,surprisingly powerful tool.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
For those big goals
right Like financial shifts,
finding love, career changes.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
Exactly, it connects
to that idea of aligning your
thoughts, your feelings, withwhat you actually want to see
happen.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Yeah, the law of
attraction, essentially that
idea that you know what youconsistently focus on, what you
feel strongly about you tend todraw into your life.
It attracts, like basically.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
In journaling.
It gives that focus a physicalform.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Precisely.
It's a way to activelycultivate that positive focus,
that energy.
It's not just passive wishing,it's an active practice.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Okay, so a
manifestation journal?
It's different from just likewriting about your day.
What's the distinction?
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Totally different.
It's way more focused.
You're using writing to reallynail down your intentions, make
your goals concrete and this iskey Feel the emotions of already
having achieved them.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Ah, so you're sort of
rehearsing the reality you want
.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
You could put it that
way yeah, you're training your
subconscious mind, getting it onboard with these new
possibilities, making them feelreal now.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Less about.
I hope this happens and morethis is happening.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Exactly.
Take affirmations, for examplethose positive statements you
write in the present tense likeI am financially abundant,
instead of I want to be Right.
Writing those down consistently.
It does more than just state ofdesire.
It reinforces your belief thatit's possible.
It forces you to get superclear on what you actually want.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Which probably makes
the path to it clearer too right
.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Often, yes, clarity
is huge, which probably makes
the path to it clearer too,right?
Often, yes, clarity is huge andthe act of writing itself,
physically doing it, cangenuinely boost your mood, raise
your vibration.
As they say, makes you morereceptive.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
And it seems like
having a dedicated Dirt All
maybe a good quality one helpstie together other techniques
people use, like vision boardsor gratitude lists.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Absolutely.
It becomes the container, thededicated space for all of it.
You can script out your idealday in detail.
Keep running gratitude lists,describe your vision board
images.
It centralizes the practice.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Makes sense.
Now.
We live on screens, right?
So why the emphasis onhandwriting?
Why pick up a physical pen andpaper for this?
Speaker 2 (02:22):
That's a great point.
I mean, digital is convenient,no doubt, but there's something
about the physical act ofwriting.
It seems to forge a deeper linkto our subconscious.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
How so.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Well, there's
research suggesting that
handwriting activates differentparts of the brain than typing.
Pathways linked to memory, toemotional processing they fire
up more intensely.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Interesting.
So it makes the affirmations,the visualizations stick better.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Potentially, yes, it
feels more engaged, more
deliberate.
You're generally lessdistracted than when you're
staring at a screen withnotifications popping up.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Yeah, good point.
You're just there with the page.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Right and you create
this tangible record, you can
look back, see how far you'vecome and, honestly, using a
journal you actually like, usingit, makes a difference.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
You mean like the
feel of it.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Yeah, exactly Like
those Listallion journals we've
mentioned before, that reallysmooth, thick paper, the 120 GSM
stuff it just feels good towrite on.
It makes the act feel a bitmore significant, almost
ritualistic.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
I get that.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
And practical
features help too, like the
numbered pages you find inListallion or the option for a
table of contents Great fororganizing different sections.
Affirmations here, scriptingthere, gratitude lists maybe
Keeps it structured if you wantthat.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
It turns it from just
a notebook into a proper tool
for the job.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Exactly Structure can
really help you track things
and stay consistent.
Some even have that little backpocket which is handy for
sticking in, say, clippings foryour vision board or little
reminders.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
You know, speaking of
that, it reminds me of my
sister, sarah, a few years back.
She felt completely stuckcareer-wise, just overwhelmed.
She started journaling andactually now I think about it,
she had one of those Listallionones, the ash, gray, black I
think and she said just the actof writing it down on that nice
(04:12):
paper in a specific journal madeit feel less like a pipe dream
and more well possible concrete.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Did it help Massively
.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
She started noticing
little opportunities, things
she'd have ignored before, and,like six months later, landed a
job that was almost exactly whatshe'd been writing about.
She swears by the journaling.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Wow, that's a perfect
example.
Almost exactly what she'd beenwriting about.
She swears by the journaling.
Wow, that's a perfect example.
It's that focused intentioncombined with the physical act
in a space that feels right, itreally can shift things.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
And it's not just big
career stuff.
I know someone let's call himDavid he was really struggling
with confidence, just feelinggenerally down.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
He got into gratitude
journaling.
Used a Lestallion too, actuallya nice cocoa brown one.
Made himself write down fivethings, just five small things
he was grateful for every singleday, even the bad days.
That sounds simple but maybehard to stick with.
It can be at first, but he said, the consistency, the ritual of
writing it, physically writing,slowly started to shift his
(05:11):
whole outlook.
He just felt better, moreoptimistic.
The numbered pages helped himtoo, he said, because he could
easily flip back and see monthsof gratitude listed out a real
confidence booster in itself.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
So the quality of the
journal, the features, they
weren't just nice to haves, theyactually supported the practice
.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
I think so.
Yeah, it makes it moreenjoyable, more intentional,
creates that sacred space wetalked about, which leads us to
how people actually use thesejournals.
There are some cool techniques.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Right Like the
methods.
What are some effective ones?
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Well, scripting is a
big one.
We touched on that Writing inthe present tense, describing
your desired reality as if it'salready here.
I am so grateful for my lovingrelationship or my business is
thriving and serves so manypeople, that kind of thing.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Painting a vivid
picture with words.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Exactly.
Then there's the 55 by 5 method.
Heard of that.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
I think, so it sounds
intense.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
It is kind of you
pick one core affirmation and
you write it down 55 times.
55 times for five days straight.
The repetition is meant toreally hammer it into your
subconscious.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Wow, okay, that takes
dedication.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
It does and, of
course, gratitude journaling,
like David did, justconsistently listing things you
appreciate, simple, but itreally shifts your energy
towards abundance, towardspositivity.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Makes sense.
You focus on what you have, notwhat you lack.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Precisely.
And then there's integratingyour vision board.
You can literally pastepictures into your journal or
just write detailed descriptionsof the images and how they make
you feel.
Use the journal as the commandcenter for your vision.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
And a structured
journal, maybe with lined pages
like the Lestallion ones have,probably helps keep those
different methods organized.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
Definitely Having
lines gives you guidance for
writing affirmations neatly orfor scripting longer paragraphs.
It just provides a niceframework.
Whether you choose a soft coverA5 for portability or a more
substantial hard cover, havingthat structure helps.
They come in tons of colors too, like royal blue, juniper green
, even pink or purple, so youcan pick one that resonates.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
So bringing it all
together for you listening
what's the main thing to takeaway?
Speaker 2 (07:16):
I think the core idea
is that using a journal
intentionally for manifestation,for working with the law of
attraction, it's not justwishful thinking.
It could be a genuinelypowerful tool for change.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
By making those
thoughts and feelings concrete.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Exactly.
You're articulatingaffirmations, you're visualizing
through writing, you'recultivating gratitude, you're
actively participating increating your reality.
And look, using a journal thatfeels good, that has helpful
features like smooth paper ornumbered pages.
It just enhances the wholeprocess.
It makes you want to do it.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
It elevates it from a
chore to a practice, maybe even
a pleasure, taking those fuzzydesires and giving them shape or
making them feel closer.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
That's a great way to
put it.
It's about directing your focus, your energy, with intention.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
This has been really
insightful.
Thanks for walking us throughit.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
Absolutely.
It's fascinating stuff.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
It really is.
And just as a final thought foryou to chew on, think about
this how might actually creatingthat physical written record of
your intentions, your gratitude, your progress, how might that
differ from just having thosethoughts float around or typing
a quick note?
Consider the power of thattangible history of your own
growth, tracking the unfoldingof what you're calling into your
life, something a fleetingdigital reminder can't quite
(08:31):
capture.
Can it Ponder that potential ofdirecting your focus day by day
