Speaker 1 (00:13):
From Lestallion.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
Lestallion yeah, I've seen these.

Speaker 1 (00:16):
They're kind of interesting Right.

Speaker 2 (00:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (00:17):
And I know what you're thinking it's September.

Speaker 2 (00:19):
Right.

Speaker 1 (00:20):
Why are we thinking about June?
Why are we thinking about June?
Yeah, well, that's the beautyof this deep dive.
Stick with us.

Speaker 2 (00:29):
These prompts.
They're not really about June,are they?
They're more like a frameworkor a template for
self-reflection, no matter whatmonth it is.
And you know this structuredapproach to like processing your
experiences and then settingintentions based on that.
That can have some prettyintriguing psychological
benefits.

Speaker 1 (00:44):
Totally, even if you only do it in short bursts,
setting intentions.
Based on that, that can havesome pretty intriguing
psychological benefits Totally,even if you only do it in short
bursts.
Yeah, we're basicallyuncovering a cheat sheet for
self-awareness.

Speaker 2 (00:50):
I like that.

Speaker 1 (00:51):
And I don't know about you, but I love a good
shortcut.

Speaker 2 (00:54):
Absolutely.

Speaker 1 (00:55):
So one thing I found interesting in going through
these is Lestallion's use ofreally evocative language.

Speaker 2 (01:04):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (01:04):
It's like they nudge you to think more deeply without
overcomplicating things.

Speaker 2 (01:09):
I like how they do that, yeah, so for example in
the June memories section.

Speaker 1 (01:13):
They don't just ask what did you do?

Speaker 2 (01:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:16):
It's more like what was the funniest thing that
happened, or how did the weatherimpact your activities?

Speaker 2 (01:21):
Yeah, there's a real strategy to that.

Speaker 1 (01:23):
Oh, totally.

Speaker 2 (01:24):
Because weather impact your activities.
Yeah, there's a real strategyto that.
Oh, totally, because when youconnect, emotions to your
memories, even those littledetails like the weather.
They become way more vivid andeasier to remember.

Speaker 1 (01:32):
It's so true.

Speaker 2 (01:33):
And here's the thing that helps you learn from them.

Speaker 1 (01:36):
Oh.

Speaker 2 (01:36):
It strengthens your mindfulness, which is essential
for growth.

Speaker 1 (01:39):
You know what?
I honestly don't remember everydetail from June, but I can
tell you how that humid air justmade everything feel heavy.

Speaker 2 (01:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:48):
Those little details tied to an emotion make those
memories so strong.

Speaker 2 (01:53):
That's exactly how it works.
Our brains latch onto thoseemotional cues.

Speaker 1 (01:58):
It's fascinating.

Speaker 2 (01:59):
And then, when you revisit those memories, it
activates the same neuralpathways, making them stronger
and easier to recall, and thathelps us understand our own
behavioral patterns.

Speaker 1 (02:09):
Which helps us make better choices.
Exactly it all comes together.

Speaker 2 (02:12):
It does, but you know what?
There's one area that a lot ofpeople tend to avoid when
reflecting.
With that Challenges.

Speaker 1 (02:18):
Yeah, even the thought of June's challenges
right now.
Right, it's a bit much.
Yeah, but I will say Lestallionhandles it really well.

Speaker 2 (02:26):
They do.
They do In that June challengessection.
The prompts are really goodbecause they reframe those
perceived failures into learningopportunities.

Speaker 1 (02:36):
Yeah, and the way they phrase them makes it less
intimidating.
Oh, absolutely Like they don'tjust say list your biggest
failures.

Speaker 2 (02:43):
Ouch, nobody wants to do that, come on, it's more
like what did you struggle withat work or school?

Speaker 1 (02:48):
Much better.

Speaker 2 (02:49):
Right, or how did you manage stress?
I mean, these are things we allexperience.

Speaker 1 (02:53):
Exactly, and just the act of writing about these
things, even if you don't havesolutions yet, can be really
therapeutic in itself.
Totally, it really is likeprocessing those emotions and
getting them out there.

Speaker 2 (03:05):
Yeah, it's like talking it out with a friend,
but instead of just venting.

Speaker 1 (03:08):
Right.

Speaker 2 (03:08):
These prompts actually help you process and
learn from it?
They do, and now let's switchgears from challenges to
achievements.
Lestallion has this wholesection on your June
achievements.

Speaker 1 (03:21):
Yeah.
But it goes beyond, just likethe big obvious wins you know,
yeah, and this part is soimportant for our listeners, I
think.

Speaker 2 (03:29):
Right.

Speaker 1 (03:29):
Especially, you know people who are constantly
striving for progress.
Absolutely.
It's so easy to get caught upin the daily grind and overlook
those small wins.

Speaker 2 (03:38):
Especially with a busy schedule, you're so focused
on the finish line that youkind of forget to appreciate the
journey.

Speaker 1 (03:44):
And all those little milestones along the way.

Speaker 2 (03:47):
Exactly.

Speaker 1 (03:47):
Which is exactly what these prompts make you
celebrate.

Speaker 2 (03:50):
Yes, they want you to acknowledge those smaller
achievements, those things thatoften get overlooked.

Speaker 1 (03:55):
It's so true.

Speaker 2 (03:56):
Like did you finish any important tasks Things like
that or what skills did youimprove?
These are all about recognizingyour effort and your growth,
even if they don't feelmonumental at the time.

Speaker 1 (04:09):
It's so true.
We tend to just downplay ouraccomplishments, you know.

Speaker 2 (04:13):
We do.

Speaker 1 (04:13):
But acknowledging even those small achievements
can actually really boost yourmotivation.

Speaker 2 (04:18):
It really can.
It's like giving yourselfpermission to celebrate and say,
hey, you know what I'm doing,all right.

Speaker 1 (04:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (04:23):
It's positive reinforcement and action.

Speaker 1 (04:25):
I love that.

Speaker 2 (04:26):
And often those small wins.
They create this ripple effect,building momentum for the
bigger achievements later on.
I like that.
And not only that, butcelebrating those wins can help
combat negative self-talk.

Speaker 1 (04:37):
Oh, for sure.

Speaker 2 (04:38):
Which I think we all struggle with Absolutely At
times.

Speaker 1 (04:41):
Yeah.
So, speaking of achievementsand work and all that, this next
part really resonated with me,where Lestallion wraps up with
your June reflections andplanning for post-June.

Speaker 2 (04:52):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (04:53):
It's like they're tying it all together.

Speaker 2 (04:54):
Absolutely.
Lestallion highlights thisreally important cyclical nature
of reflection and planning.

Speaker 1 (05:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (05:01):
It's not just about looking back on June.
It's about how thosereflections actually shape your
future.
It's true, and these prompts,they capture that bigger picture
mentality.

Speaker 1 (05:10):
Yeah, they do.
They prompt you to think aboutthings like how has your life
changed since last June, yeah.
Or what habits do you want tobuild?
Or even, how will you preparefor the end of summer?

Speaker 2 (05:20):
Right.

Speaker 1 (05:20):
You know it's less about June and more about your
overall trajectory at that point.

Speaker 2 (05:23):
Exactly, and it shows how these journal prompts offer
value beyond just a singlemonth.
They're like a framework forthis ongoing self-reflection and
growth.
I like that, no matter what itis you're focused on.

Speaker 1 (05:36):
It's funny, isn't it, how these simple little journal
prompts can really make youthink about things.

Speaker 2 (05:41):
Yeah, it's true.

Speaker 1 (05:42):
Like somebody just handed you a telescope for your
own life.

Speaker 2 (05:44):
It really is, and you know what I've found?
What's that?
Sometimes, those small insights, those little aha moments.

Speaker 1 (05:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (05:52):
They're way more valuable than like trying to
force these big sweeping changes.
You know.

Speaker 1 (05:57):
Oh, absolutely yeah, but how often do we actually
take the time for this kind ofreflection, right?

Speaker 2 (06:03):
It's easy to forget.

Speaker 1 (06:04):
So easy to get caught up in the day to day and just
completely forget to just likehit pause for a second.

Speaker 2 (06:10):
Yeah, you just get swept up in everything.

Speaker 1 (06:12):
Totally.
And these prompts are like this.
You know they're like a gentlenudge to slow down.

Speaker 2 (06:20):
They are.

Speaker 1 (06:20):
Pay attention to what we're actually experiencing.

Speaker 2 (06:23):
And for people who are constantly on the go, like
most of our listeners probably,you really got to find ways to
integrate this into your routine.

Speaker 1 (06:31):
It's essential and I bet you our listeners are
thinking like OK, this is allgreat.

Speaker 2 (06:34):
When am I supposed to do this Right?

Speaker 1 (06:36):
When am I going to find time to journal every day?
But that's the beauty of this.

Speaker 2 (06:40):
Exactly.

Speaker 1 (06:40):
Lestallion's approach doesn't have to take hours you
know, even a few minutes canmake a difference.

Speaker 2 (06:46):
Absolutely.
It's quality over quantity.
Even if you just set aside afew minutes each week to think
about these prompts, you'd besurprised what comes up.

Speaker 1 (06:55):
Totally so.
As we wrap up our deep diveinto these journal prompts, what
would you say is the maintakeaway for our listeners?

Speaker 2 (07:04):
You know, I think it's the power of making time
for reflection, scheduling it in, even if it's just for a few
minutes every month.
And these prompts are greatbecause they show that even
simple questions can really helpyou understand yourself better.

Speaker 1 (07:18):
And that self-awareness.
It's so important for growth,isn't?

Speaker 2 (07:21):
it.
It's crucial for any kind ofpersonal growth.

Speaker 1 (07:24):
Like taking that step back, seeing the bigger picture
.

Speaker 2 (07:27):
Exactly.

Speaker 1 (07:28):
And using that to move forward.

Speaker 2 (07:29):
With intention.

Speaker 1 (07:30):
Yeah, exactly.
And for our listeners who wantto continue this journey of
self-discovery.

Speaker 2 (07:35):
Yes.

Speaker 1 (07:36):

be this big scary thing.

Speaker 2 (07:53):
Not at all.

Speaker 1 (07:54):
It can be as simple as exploring a few
thought-provoking questions.
Until next time, keep exploring, keep reflecting, keep asking
those questions that lead to adeeper understanding of
yourselves and the world aroundyou.
