Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey everyone, and welcome to our deep dive today.
Get ready, because we're aboutto explore something pretty
amazing.
You heard that right.
We're going deep into the worldof self-growth with some
seriously insightful journalprompts 50 of them, to be exact,
oh yeah, that's right.
We've got a whole treasuretrove of prompts to sift through
.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
All thanks to Lestallion.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Lestallion.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
They're the masterminds behind these prompts
.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
Oh cool, so they know a thing or two about
introspection.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
Absolutely.
They even have this awesomeblog post called 50 Journal
Prompts for Self-Growth.
And guess what?
Lestallion sells journals.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Well, that makes total sense.
They're walking the walk.
Huh, exactly All right, solet's jump right in.
The first category that caughtmy eye is exploring your
strengths.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
A great place to start.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
I think so too, and one prompt that immediately
stood out to me was think abouta compliment you've received
recently.
What did it mean to you, andhow does it reflect your
character?
Speaker 2 (00:57):
That's a powerful one .
It really is, yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
You know, sometimes we get compliments but they just
kind of bounce off.
This prompt forces us toactually sit with them.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
To untack them.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Yeah, exactly, to really consider what they say
about us.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
It's about recognizing that connection
between how others see us andhow we see ourselves.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
So it's deeper than just a feel-good moment.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Oh, absolutely.
Compliments, when they'regenuine, can actually contribute
to building a healthierself-image.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Wow, I never thought about it like that.
It's like planting little seedsof self-belief.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Precisely.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
But is there a danger in relying too much on what
others say?
I mean, what happens when thosecompliments stop coming?
Speaker 2 (01:37):
That's a great question.
It brings up the importance ofbalancing external validation
with internal validation.
Ultimately, we want to reach aplace where our sense of
self-worth comes from within.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Makes sense.
So how can we use complimentsto build that stronger sense of
self?
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Think of compliments as a mirror.
They can reflect back qualitiesyou might not always see in
yourself.
So, instead of just sayingthank you and moving on, take a
moment to absorb the compliment.
Ask yourself what specificaction or quality are they
acknowledging?
Speaker 1 (02:09):
And how does that connect to my own values?
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Exactly.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
I like that, using compliments as data points to
understand ourselves better.
Okay, let's move on to asection that might feel a bit
tougher Understanding yourchallenges.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Everyone's favorite right?
Huh, not always, but facingthose challenges is crucial,
right?
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Huh, not always, but facing those challenges is
crucial for growth.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
Couldn't agree more.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
One prompt that hit home for me in this section was
reflect on a fear that holds youback.
What's the root of this fearand what's one small step you
can take to face it?
Speaker 2 (02:38):
We've all been there.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Oh, absolutely that feeling of being stuck because
of fear.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Fear is a universal human experience.
It's often rooted in our needto protect ourselves.
But when fear starts dictatingour choices and stopping us from
reaching our goals, that's whenit becomes a problem.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
It's like we become prisoners of our own fear.
So how do we break free?
How do we go from feelingparalyzed to taking action?
Speaker 2 (03:02):
It starts with understanding that facing fears
is key to developing a growthmindset.
It's that belief that we canalways learn and grow, that our
abilities aren't fixed.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
So we can actually rewire our brains to be less
afraid.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
In a way, yes.
When we see challenges asopportunities for growth, we're
more likely to push past thosefears and achieve our full
potential.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
That's a game changer .
It's like reframing fear as asignpost pointing us toward
growth.
But sometimes the fear itselfjust feels so overwhelming.
Like where do we even begin totackle something that big and
scary?
Speaker 2 (03:36):
That's where the idea of taking small steps comes in.
Don't try to conquer the wholefear at once.
Break it down into manageableactions.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Bite-sized pieces.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Exactly.
For example, if you have a fearof public speaking, a small
step could be practicing yourpresentation in front of a
mirror.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Or even recording yourself.
Yes, it's like building up ourconfidence muscle, one rep at a
time.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
That's a great analogy.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Okay, so we've talked about facing fears, but what
about learning from our mistakes?
There's another prompt in thissection that asks us to think
about a recent mistake.
What did you learn from it andhow can you apply that lesson
moving forward?
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Ah, mistakes, they can be our greatest teachers.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
If we let them.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Exactly.
The key is to shift ourperspective and see mistakes not
as failures, but as feedback.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Mistakes are feedback , not failures.
Yeah, I love that.
It's like we're scientistsconducting experiments,
gathering data and refining ourapproach.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Perfect analogy.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
But how do we actually extract those lessons
from our mistakes?
It's so easy to just beatourselves up and get stuck in a
cycle of self-blame.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
You're right, it's a common trap.
Instead of blaming yourself,try approaching the situation
with curiosity.
Ask yourself what happened,what were my intentions, what
were the consequences of myactions.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
And, most importantly , what can I do differently next
time?
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Exactly, you got it.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
That's a great framework for turning a negative
experience into a positivelearning opportunity.
It's like we're taking thepower away from the mistake and
using it to fuel our growth.
Okay, ready to shift gears abit and talk about setting goals
?
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Let's shift gears a bit.
This next section is all aboutsetting meaningful goals.
It's where we turn thoseinsights into action.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Love that.
From insights to action, it'sso easy to get stuck in the
thinking part and never actuallydo anything.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Absolutely.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
One prompt that really stood out to me was
reflect on a long-term dreamwhat's holding you back and
what's one thing you can do tomove closer to it.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Powerful stuff.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
It really is.
It reminds us that even smallsteps can lead to big changes.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Exactly it's not just about momentum.
It's not just about momentum,it's about breaking those big
dreams down into smaller, moremanageable steps.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
So true, okay, let's talk about those steps.
What are some practical tipsfor setting ourselves up for
success when it comes to goals?
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Well, one approach I find really helpful is the SMART
Goals Framework.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Oh, yeah, I've heard of that, have you?
Yeah, it stands for Specmeasurable, achievable, relevant
and time-bound.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
That's right, and using this framework can help us
move from vague aspirations toconcrete action plans.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
I see what you mean.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
For example, instead of saying I want to write a book
, a SMART goal would be I willwrite one chapter of my novel
every week for the next sixmonths.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Wow, yeah, that second one is so much more clear
and actionable.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Exactly.
It's like you're creating aroadmap.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
With milestones along the way.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Yes, and when you hit those milestones, it reinforces
your belief in yourself andkeeps you motivated.
I love that.
Yes.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
So we've explored our strengths, faced our challenges
, set some goals.
Now it's time to tap into thosepassions.
This next section is all aboutexploring your passions
uncovering what truly brings usjoy.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
This is where things get really fun.
When we engage in things thatlight us up, it not only boosts
our mood, but it can also boostour creativity, energy and even
our sense of purpose.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Totally agree.
One prompt in this section thatjumped out at me was write
about an activity that makes youfeel alive.
Why does it resonate with youand how can you make more time
for it.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Ah yes, Finding those activities that make you lose
track of time.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Where you're completely in the zone.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Exactly, it's about finding that flow state.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
It's an amazing feeling, but the challenge is
often finding the time to pursuethose passions, especially with
everything else going on.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
I hear you.
It comes down to prioritizing,being intentional with your time
.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Right, making it a conscious choice.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Start by identifying what truly matters to you, those
activities that bring youenergy and fulfillment.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
And then actually schedule them in.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Exactly, even if it's just for a few minutes each day
.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
I love that scheduling joy.
Okay, so, speaking ofprioritizing this next category,
embracing change reminds usthat growth often means stepping
out of our comfort zones.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Absolutely.
Change can be tough, but it'salso essential for growth.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
No pain, no gain right.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Well, it doesn't always have to be painful, but
when we embrace change, we openourselves up to new experiences,
new perspectives, newpossibilities.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
So true.
One prompt in this section thatreally got me thinking was
reflect on a time when youstepped out of your comfort zone
.
What fears did you overcome andhow did it benefit you?
Speaker 2 (08:06):
We've all had those moments right.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
Yeah, those leaps of faith that led to amazing things
.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
It's about remembering that stepping out of
our comfort zone is a process.
It's not about becomingfearless overnight.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
More like building up our courage muscle.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Exactly.
It's about gradually expandingthose boundaries and building
resilience along the way.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
So how can we make that process a little less
intimidating?
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Start small, gradually increase the intensity
of the challenge.
Instead of diving headfirstinto the deep end, dip your toes
in first.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Okay, I like that.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
And focus on the potential benefits of the change
rather than just the fear.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
Shifting our perspective Precisely.
It's like building a bridgebetween our comfort zone and the
unknown, one step at a time.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
That's a great way to put it.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
Okay, ready for the final category of prompts.
This one's all aboutcelebrating our growth.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Yes, let's celebrate all that hard work.
It's easy to get so caught upin striving for the next thing
that we forget to appreciate howfar we've come.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
So true.
One prompt that reallyresonated with me in this
section was reflect on howyou've grown in the past year.
What changes are you most proudof and how can you keep
evolving?
Speaker 2 (09:17):
That's a beautiful one.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
It's about taking stock of our journey and
acknowledging those moments oftransformation.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
And celebrating those wins, both big and small,
exactly Each step forward, nomatter how small, contributes to
our overall growth.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
It's like we're weaving a tapestry of growth,
with each thread representing amoment of learning or change.
But how do we actually honorand celebrate those moments?
Is it enough to just thinkabout them, or should we be
doing something more?
Speaker 2 (09:39):
That's a great question.
It really depends on what feelsmeaningful to you.
For some, it might be a quietmoment of reflection.
For others, it might be sharingtheir achievements with loved
ones or doing something specialto celebrate.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
I think it's also about recognizing that growth is
a journey, not a destination.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Absolutely.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
There's always more to learn, more to explore, more
to become.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
That's what makes it so exciting.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
We're constantly evolving, expanding, discovering
new parts of ourselves.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
I love that.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Well, listeners, I think we've officially mined all
the wisdom from this mountainof prompts.
But before we sign off, I wantto leave you with one final
thought.
But before we sign off, I wantto leave you with one final
thought.
Lestallion talks about howjournaling for self-growth isn't
just about getting to some endpoint.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
It's about enjoying the ride.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Yeah, like we're on this awesome quest to figure
ourselves out.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
And that journal.
It's like your trusty sidekick.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
I love that Really captures the spirit of the whole
thing.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
It's about those aha moments, those little shifts in
perspective that can changeeverything.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
And sometimes it's just about those quiet times.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Where we finally connect the dots and understand
our thoughts and feelings alittle better.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Exactly that's where those journal prompts come in
Right, they're like guides.
Little trail markers leadingyou through your inner world.
So, as we wrap up our deep divetoday, I want you to think of
these prompts as a startingpoint.
Don't be afraid to go off roadto ask yourself the tough
questions.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Let your curiosity lead the way.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
And remember there's no one right way to journal.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
It's all about finding what works for you.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
What helps you unlock those inner nuggets of wisdom?
Speaker 1 (11:12):
And, most importantly , have fun with it.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Right.
Self-discovery should beenjoyable.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Couldn't agree more.
So, listeners, as we saygoodbye for today, grab that
journal, pick a prompt thatspeaks to you and start
exploring.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
You might be surprised by what you discover.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
A huge thank you for joining us on this journey of
self-discovery.
Until next time, keep exploring, keep learning and keep shining
.
Hey everyone, and welcome to our deep dive today.
Get ready, because we're aboutto explore something pretty
amazing.
You heard that right.
We're going deep into the worldof self-growth with some
seriously insightful journalprompts 50 of them, to be exact,
oh yeah, that's right.
We've got a whole treasuretrove of prompts to sift through
.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
All thanks to Lestallion.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Lestallion.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
They're the masterminds behind these prompts
.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
Oh cool, so they know a thing or two about
introspection.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
Absolutely.
They even have this awesomeblog post called 50 Journal
Prompts for Self-Growth.
And guess what?
Lestallion sells journals.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Well, that makes total sense.
They're walking the walk.
Huh, exactly All right, solet's jump right in.
The first category that caughtmy eye is exploring your
strengths.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
A great place to start.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
I think so too, and one prompt that immediately
stood out to me was think abouta compliment you've received
recently.
What did it mean to you, andhow does it reflect your
character?
Speaker 2 (00:57):
That's a powerful one .
It really is, yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
You know, sometimes we get compliments but they just
kind of bounce off.
This prompt forces us toactually sit with them.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
To untack them.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Yeah, exactly, to really consider what they say
about us.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
It's about recognizing that connection
between how others see us andhow we see ourselves.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
So it's deeper than just a feel-good moment.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Oh, absolutely.
Compliments, when they'regenuine, can actually contribute
to building a healthierself-image.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Wow, I never thought about it like that.
It's like planting little seedsof self-belief.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Precisely.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
But is there a danger in relying too much on what
others say?
I mean, what happens when thosecompliments stop coming?
Speaker 2 (01:37):
That's a great question.
It brings up the importance ofbalancing external validation
with internal validation.
Ultimately, we want to reach aplace where our sense of
self-worth comes from within.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Makes sense.
So how can we use complimentsto build that stronger sense of
self?
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Think of compliments as a mirror.
They can reflect back qualitiesyou might not always see in
yourself.
So, instead of just sayingthank you and moving on, take a
moment to absorb the compliment.
Ask yourself what specificaction or quality are they
acknowledging?
Speaker 1 (02:09):
And how does that connect to my own values?
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Exactly.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
I like that, using compliments as data points to
understand ourselves better.
Okay, let's move on to asection that might feel a bit
tougher Understanding yourchallenges.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Everyone's favorite right?
Huh, not always, but facingthose challenges is crucial,
right?
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Huh, not always, but facing those challenges is
crucial for growth.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
Couldn't agree more.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
One prompt that hit home for me in this section was
reflect on a fear that holds youback.
What's the root of this fearand what's one small step you
can take to face it?
Speaker 2 (02:38):
We've all been there.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Oh, absolutely that feeling of being stuck because
of fear.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Fear is a universal human experience.
It's often rooted in our needto protect ourselves.
But when fear starts dictatingour choices and stopping us from
reaching our goals, that's whenit becomes a problem.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
It's like we become prisoners of our own fear.
So how do we break free?
How do we go from feelingparalyzed to taking action?
Speaker 2 (03:02):
It starts with understanding that facing fears
is key to developing a growthmindset.
It's that belief that we canalways learn and grow, that our
abilities aren't fixed.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
So we can actually rewire our brains to be less
afraid.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
In a way, yes.
When we see challenges asopportunities for growth, we're
more likely to push past thosefears and achieve our full
potential.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
That's a game changer .
It's like reframing fear as asignpost pointing us toward
growth.
But sometimes the fear itselfjust feels so overwhelming.
Like where do we even begin totackle something that big and
scary?
Speaker 2 (03:36):
That's where the idea of taking small steps comes in.
Don't try to conquer the wholefear at once.
Break it down into manageableactions.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Bite-sized pieces.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Exactly.
For example, if you have a fearof public speaking, a small
step could be practicing yourpresentation in front of a
mirror.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Or even recording yourself.
Yes, it's like building up ourconfidence muscle, one rep at a
time.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
That's a great analogy.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Okay, so we've talked about facing fears, but what
about learning from our mistakes?
There's another prompt in thissection that asks us to think
about a recent mistake.
What did you learn from it andhow can you apply that lesson
moving forward?
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Ah, mistakes, they can be our greatest teachers.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
If we let them.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Exactly.
The key is to shift ourperspective and see mistakes not
as failures, but as feedback.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Mistakes are feedback , not failures.
Yeah, I love that.
It's like we're scientistsconducting experiments,
gathering data and refining ourapproach.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Perfect analogy.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
But how do we actually extract those lessons
from our mistakes?
It's so easy to just beatourselves up and get stuck in a
cycle of self-blame.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
You're right, it's a common trap.
Instead of blaming yourself,try approaching the situation
with curiosity.
Ask yourself what happened,what were my intentions, what
were the consequences of myactions.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
And, most importantly , what can I do differently next
time?
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Exactly, you got it.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
That's a great framework for turning a negative
experience into a positivelearning opportunity.
It's like we're taking thepower away from the mistake and
using it to fuel our growth.
Okay, ready to shift gears abit and talk about setting goals
?
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Let's shift gears a bit.
This next section is all aboutsetting meaningful goals.
It's where we turn thoseinsights into action.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Love that.
From insights to action, it'sso easy to get stuck in the
thinking part and never actuallydo anything.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Absolutely.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
One prompt that really stood out to me was
reflect on a long-term dreamwhat's holding you back and
what's one thing you can do tomove closer to it.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Powerful stuff.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
It really is.
It reminds us that even smallsteps can lead to big changes.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Exactly it's not just about momentum.
It's not just about momentum,it's about breaking those big
dreams down into smaller, moremanageable steps.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
So true, okay, let's talk about those steps.
What are some practical tipsfor setting ourselves up for
success when it comes to goals?
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Well, one approach I find really helpful is the SMART
Goals Framework.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Oh, yeah, I've heard of that, have you?
Yeah, it stands for Specmeasurable, achievable, relevant
and time-bound.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
That's right, and using this framework can help us
move from vague aspirations toconcrete action plans.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
I see what you mean.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
For example, instead of saying I want to write a book
, a SMART goal would be I willwrite one chapter of my novel
every week for the next sixmonths.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Wow, yeah, that second one is so much more clear
and actionable.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Exactly.
It's like you're creating aroadmap.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
With milestones along the way.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Yes, and when you hit those milestones, it reinforces
your belief in yourself andkeeps you motivated.
I love that.
Yes.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
So we've explored our strengths, faced our challenges
, set some goals.
Now it's time to tap into thosepassions.
This next section is all aboutexploring your passions
uncovering what truly brings usjoy.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
This is where things get really fun.
When we engage in things thatlight us up, it not only boosts
our mood, but it can also boostour creativity, energy and even
our sense of purpose.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Totally agree.
One prompt in this section thatjumped out at me was write
about an activity that makes youfeel alive.
Why does it resonate with youand how can you make more time
for it.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Ah yes, Finding those activities that make you lose
track of time.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Where you're completely in the zone.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Exactly, it's about finding that flow state.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
It's an amazing feeling, but the challenge is
often finding the time to pursuethose passions, especially with
everything else going on.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
I hear you.
It comes down to prioritizing,being intentional with your time
.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Right, making it a conscious choice.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Start by identifying what truly matters to you, those
activities that bring youenergy and fulfillment.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
And then actually schedule them in.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Exactly, even if it's just for a few minutes each day
.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
I love that scheduling joy.
Okay, so, speaking ofprioritizing this next category,
embracing change reminds usthat growth often means stepping
out of our comfort zones.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Absolutely.
Change can be tough, but it'salso essential for growth.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
No pain, no gain right.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Well, it doesn't always have to be painful, but
when we embrace change, we openourselves up to new experiences,
new perspectives, newpossibilities.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
So true.
One prompt in this section thatreally got me thinking was
reflect on a time when youstepped out of your comfort zone
.
What fears did you overcome andhow did it benefit you?
Speaker 2 (08:06):
We've all had those moments right.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
Yeah, those leaps of faith that led to amazing things
.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
It's about remembering that stepping out of
our comfort zone is a process.
It's not about becomingfearless overnight.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
More like building up our courage muscle.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Exactly.
It's about gradually expandingthose boundaries and building
resilience along the way.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
So how can we make that process a little less
intimidating?
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Start small, gradually increase the intensity
of the challenge.
Instead of diving headfirstinto the deep end, dip your toes
in first.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Okay, I like that.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
And focus on the potential benefits of the change
rather than just the fear.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
Shifting our perspective Precisely.
It's like building a bridgebetween our comfort zone and the
unknown, one step at a time.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
That's a great way to put it.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
Okay, ready for the final category of prompts.
This one's all aboutcelebrating our growth.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Yes, let's celebrate all that hard work.
It's easy to get so caught upin striving for the next thing
that we forget to appreciate howfar we've come.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
So true.
One prompt that reallyresonated with me in this
section was reflect on howyou've grown in the past year.
What changes are you most proudof and how can you keep
evolving?
Speaker 2 (09:17):
That's a beautiful one.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
It's about taking stock of our journey and
acknowledging those moments oftransformation.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
And celebrating those wins, both big and small,
exactly Each step forward, nomatter how small, contributes to
our overall growth.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
It's like we're weaving a tapestry of growth,
with each thread representing amoment of learning or change.
But how do we actually honorand celebrate those moments?
Is it enough to just thinkabout them, or should we be
doing something more?
Speaker 2 (09:39):
That's a great question.
It really depends on what feelsmeaningful to you.
For some, it might be a quietmoment of reflection.
For others, it might be sharingtheir achievements with loved
ones or doing something specialto celebrate.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
I think it's also about recognizing that growth is
a journey, not a destination.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Absolutely.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
There's always more to learn, more to explore, more
to become.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
