Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to another deep dive with us.
This time we are exploring 50journal prompts designed
specifically for women, forwomen.
Yeah, it comes from a blog postfrom Lestallion.
You know the company that'sfamous for their beautiful
journals.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Okay, yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
But these prompts, though they're targeted towards
women, they really cover a lotof fundamental self-discovery
relationships, personal growth,self-care, all those good things
, dreaming big.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Right.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
So they could really apply to anyone who is trying to
kind of dive a little deeperinto themselves, and luckily we
have an expert here who'sfantastic at extracting deeper
meaning and making these promptswork for your personal journey.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Well, thank you.
I think the interesting thingabout them is that, even though
they're targeted towards women,they really do tap into just
that universal desire.
We have to better ourselves andunderstand ourselves.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
And they give us a structured way to examine those
deeper parts of ourselves.
I think that's great.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Yeah, and I think the blog post does a really good
job of breaking them down intofive categories.
So we've got exploringself-discovery, nurturing
relationships, embracingpersonal growth, cultivating
self-care and dreaming big.
And so let's start off withexploring self-discovery, and
one prompt that stood out to meright away was write about a
(01:18):
recent experience where youlearned something new about
yourself.
And it seems so simple, but I'mwondering do people often
overlook those everyday momentswhere they're actually growing
as a person?
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Oh for sure, we always want to focus on the big
moments, the big definingmoments in our lives.
But honestly, true growthhappens in the small moments.
You know just subtle shifts inperspective, or you know how we
think about something Right, andjournaling gives us the space
to actually capture thosemoments.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
To really examine how we're changing.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Yeah, and how those little tiny experiences are
actually shaping who you'rebecoming Exactly Like, becoming
attuned to your own inner world.
Now, another prompt that I wasreally interested in in this
exploring self-discovery isdescribe a time when you felt
truly confident and empowered.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Exploring self-discovery is describe a
time when you felt trulyconfident and empowered.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Don't you wish we could all bottle up those
moments and just revisit them?
Speaker 2 (02:09):
That's the thing.
It's not just reliving it, butlike what made you feel that way
?
Yeah, you know what were thechoices you made.
Who were you with?
When you understand theelements that create confidence,
you can create more of it.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
I love that.
So it's not about chasing thislike elusive feeling, yeah, but
it's about understanding theingredients that created that
feeling Exactly.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
So you can recreate it.
Sometimes those ingredients arehidden under all this
self-doubt or limiting beliefs,and journaling is a great way to
get that all out on the page.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Challenge those negative thoughts and replace
them with positive ones.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Yes, it's like creating a more empowering
internal dialogue Exactly Now.
Speaking of dialogue, let'smove on to the next section,
that's nurturing relationships.
Relationships are so complexand they can be really hard to
navigate, so how can journalinghelp us with that, especially
when we're talking about thehard parts of relationships?
Speaker 2 (03:03):
I think journaling can really give us that space to
.
You know, sometimes we justneed to vent, yeah.
But then there's that prompt.
You know, think about achallenging conversation you
recently had.
It allows you to look at itfrom a different perspective,
you know, from the otherperson's point of view and maybe
come up with some solutions.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
So it's not just venting, it's about gaining a
little more clarity, right andunderstanding.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
And journaling can also help us appreciate the good
things in our relationships,like there's that one prompt you
know right about a time whenyou felt truly supported by
someone.
I think this is so importantbecause it allows us to identify
what healthy support looks andfeels like you know, it's about
understanding what you need, tofeel supported.
Yeah, right, and cultivatinggratitude Right For the people
(03:52):
that you do have in your life,exactly, and that self-awareness
is essential, you know, tocommunicate your needs
effectively and set boundarieshealthy boundaries, yes.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
And this is just scratching the surface of these
prompts.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
I know there's so much here.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
There's so much I'm really excited to get into
embracing personal growth.
But we're going to do that inpart two of our deep dive into
50 journal prompts for women.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Welcome back to our deep dive into these 50 journal
prompts.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Yes, and before the break we were about to get into
embracing personal growth, andthere's one here that I think is
particularly interesting Writeabout a lesson you've learned
from a recent setback.
It seems like it would becounterintuitive to focus on the
negative like a setback.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Right.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
But I think there's so much to be learned from those
experiences.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
It's like it reframes those setbacks into
opportunities for growth.
Yes, you know instead of justdwelling on those negative
emotions, it makes you look atit objectively.
What did you learn from it?
How can you apply that to thenext challenge?
Speaker 1 (04:45):
So it's about building resilience.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Exactly.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
And developing that growth mindset.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Setbacks are just a part of life, right, and it's
really how we respond to thosechallenges that defines us.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Another prompt that I really liked in this section is
think about a time when youtook a big risk.
I'm curious how important isrisk-taking when it comes to
personal growth?
Speaker 2 (05:06):
I mean risk-taking can be scary, but it's also
where we often discover our truepotential.
You know, stepping outside yourcomfort zone, even in small
ways, can lead to amazingbreakthroughs.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
It's about pushing your own boundaries Right and
your own limitations, and seeingwhat's possible.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
And sometimes those risks lead to failures.
But you know, as we weretalking about earlier, failures
can be really valuable learningexperiences.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Yeah, it's all part of the journey.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Absolutely.
And speaking of journeys, wecan't forget about self-care.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Yes, that's the next category.
It's so important Cultivatingself-care and I have to say
sometimes I'm really bad at this.
Yeah, Like I put it on the backburner what are some
unconventional ways thatjournaling can actually help
with self-care?
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Well, I'm glad you asked that, because self-care
isn't just, you know, bubblebaths and face masks, although
those are great.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Right.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
But it's about really understanding your needs and
creating practices that reallynourish you know, your mind,
body and soul.
And there's this one promptthat I like Describe a day when
you focus solely on self-care.
What did you do and how did itimpact your mood, your energy
and your overall well-being?
Did you do and how did itimpact your mood, your energy
and your overall well-being?
And I think that's a great wayto sort of create a blueprint
(06:18):
for a day that's trulyrejuvenating.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
I love that idea to actually plan out a day of
self-care.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
And it doesn't have to be something extravagant or
expensive.
It could be just spending timein nature or listening to your
favorite music or engaging in ahobby that you love, but it's
about being intentional andnoticing how even small acts of
self-care can really impact ourwell-being.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Yeah, so making yourself a priority.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
Exactly, and sometimes self-care is also
about setting boundaries andrelationships.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Saying no to things that you know drain your energy,
making choices that align withyour values.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
That's such a good point, because self-care can
sometimes feel selfish, but it'snot.
It's really about taking careof yourself so that you can show
up Exactly as your best self.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
As your best self in all areas of your life.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Okay, so, speaking of showing up as our best selves,
yeah.
Let's move on to that finalcategory.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Dreaming big.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Dreaming big, so exciting.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
I love this section.
It's all about reigniting thatsense of possibility and giving
yourself permission to dreamwithout limits.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
And one that I really liked was write about your
biggest dream.
What would it look like toachieve it and how would it
impact your life and the livesof those around you?
It's an invitation to just letyour imagination run wild.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
And when you write it down, it becomes more tangible.
Yes, you know you go from thesefleeting thoughts into oh, I
could actually make this happen.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
There's another one in this section that I think is
so powerful, especially foranybody who has ever put their
dreams on hold for whateverreason, and it says think about
a dream you've put on hold, whatheld you back and how can you
reignite that passion to pursueit now, like we all have those
things that we've kind of put onthe back burner.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
We're like, oh, someday I'll do that.
It's so easy to let fear or,you know, just life get in the
way of our dreams, yeah, butthis prompt really forces us to
think about okay, what's holdingme back?
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
What are those obstacles and how can I overcome
them?
Speaker 1 (08:12):
It's a reminder that it's never too late.
Exactly obstacles and how can Iovercome them.
It's a reminder that it's nevertoo late, Exactly.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
To chase those dreams Exactly.
And that's the beauty of thesejournal prompts they encourage
us to explore.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
You know, not just who we are, but who we want to
become in all areas of our lives.
I love that this has been sucha great discussion and I am
definitely feeling inspired tostart journaling again.
What I'm really getting fromthis is that journaling can be
so much more than just writingdown your feelings.
It can be a really powerfultool for self-reflection, for
setting intentions, you know,processing those challenging
emotions and really creating alife that feels more authentic.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Absolutely, and you know, the most important thing
is to show up authentically, behonest with yourself and just
enjoy the process.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
So grab a journal, pick a prompt that resonates
with you and just see where ittakes you.
You might be really surprisedby what you discover.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
I agree.
Happy journaling everyone.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Welcome back to our deep dive.
And you know we could spend somuch time on each of these
prompts, but I want to circleback to dreaming big.
Yes, we talked about reignitingpassions, but what about
defining success Like definingit for ourselves?
Speaker 2 (09:18):
on, oh, that's so important, and there's a prompt
for that.
Describe what success means toyou.
How has your definition ofsuccess evolved over time, and
what does it look like for yourfuture?
It's like you said, you know itencourages us to challenge
those expectations that societyputs on us.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
And define success in a way that feels good for us.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
Yes and create a vision for the future that
aligns with our own values, ourown aspirations, not chasing
somebody else's definition ofsuccess.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Right.
And once you have that vision,you have to think about how to
make it happen.
So there's another prompt Writeabout a goal you're currently
working towards.
How does it align with yourlong term vision and what steps
are you taking to make it areality?
Speaker 1 (10:01):
It's like creating a roadmap.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Exactly.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Instead of just hoping that your dreams will
magically come true.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Right, and that roadmap might involve setting
smaller goals that lead up tothat big vision.
Yeah, and celebrating thosewins along the way.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Yes, keep you motivated.
Yes, keep you moving forward.
There's one last prompt in thiscategory that I wanted to touch
on.
I think it's so powerful.
Think about how you want tofeel five years from now.
What goals or dreams will helpyou create that feeling in your
life?
And I just I love that, becauseit shifts the focus from those
external achievements to how youactually feel inside.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Right.
It's about connecting with yourcore desires what do you really
want?
And using those feelings as aguide to make choices and take
actions that lead you there.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
It's like reverse engineering your own happiness.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Exactly, and that's what I love about these prompts
they encourage us to think aboutwho we are, but who we want to
become, and create a life thatis aligned with that.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
I feel like we've done a pretty good deep dive
into these 50 journal promptsfor women, but I think these
really do apply to anybody.
Absolutely A man or woman who'slooking for self-discovery and
personal growth.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
I completely agree, and these prompts are just a
starting point, Like you know.
Feel free to adapt them to yourown life and see where they
take you.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
The biggest takeaway for me, I think, is that
journaling can be so much morethan just writing down your
thoughts.
It can be a tool to reflect onthings, set intentions, process
your emotions and really designa life that feels authentic to
you.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
It really can, and the most important thing is be
honest with yourself and havefun with it.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
So grab journal, pick a prompt and see where it takes
you.

And you know we could spend somuch time on each of these
prompts, but I want to circleback to dreaming big.

defining success Like definingit for ourselves?
Speaker 2 (09:18):

for that.
Describe what success means toyou.
How has your definition ofsuccess evolved over time, and
what does it look like for yourfuture?

those expectations that societyputs on us.

aligns with our own values, ourown aspirations, not chasing
somebody else's definition ofsuccess.

make it happen.

magically come true.

on.
I think it's so powerful.

external achievements to how youactually feel inside.
