Okay, so we're diving into Lestallion's 50 journal
prompts for March 50 journalprompts I know who has time for
that but, maybe we don't need todo all 50 to get something out
of this.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (00:12):
So we're going to take a deep dive today and see
if we can unlock some wisdomfrom March without, you know,
doing every single prompt.

Speaker 2 (00:19):
Yeah, and it's Lestallion which is interesting.

Speaker 1 (00:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (00:22):
They're a lifestyle brand.

Speaker 1 (00:26):
They're not like self-help gurus or anything
right.
It's not just aboutintrospection, it's about
connecting it to like how weactually live our lives exactly
and this article is super timely.

Speaker 2 (00:35):
It just came out yesterday oh really, yeah, like
they knew we needed some freshreflection exactly okay.

Speaker 1 (00:40):
So one prompt that jumped out at me from their
march reflection section was howdid the weather affect your
mood and activities in March?
It seems kind of simple atfirst, but I feel like there's a
lot there.
What do you think?

Speaker 2 (00:52):
Yeah, I think it's easy to underestimate how much
our environment, even subtly canshave our days like a couple of
sunny days in a row and I feellike a totally different person.
Yeah, like I want to be outside.
Yeah, I want to be outside.
Yeah, I want to be more active,but like gray skies.
Yeah, let's just say, I'm veryfamiliar with my couch.
When the weather's like that,yeah, and then of course that
impacts.
You know how productive I am,the activities I choose.

(01:15):
It's all connected Totally.
What about you?
Did any like weather patternsstand out to you this past month
?

Speaker 1 (01:19):
Oh, totally Remember that random heat wave we had
like early March.
Oh yeah, it felt like everyonejust forgot it was winter and we
all flocked outside.

Speaker 2 (01:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:27):
It made me realize how much I crave that sunshine.
You know it's not even justabout like the mood boost, but
like the social energy it bringsout.

Speaker 2 (01:35):
I love that you picked up on that social aspect
because it makes me think aboutthe next prompt, which is who
did you spend the most time withthis March and why?
Again, seems kind of simple,but it's about understanding the
why behind our connections.

Speaker 1 (01:50):
You know I almost skimmed over that one, but the
why is so important, like itchanges the whole thing.
It's like a gut check on yourpriorities.
Are we spending time with thesepeople out of obligation or
convenience, or is it genuineconnection?

Speaker 2 (02:04):
Exactly obligation or convenience, or is it genuine
connection?
Exactly and I think it can alsoreveal a lot about what we
might be seeking, evensubconsciously, in our
relationships, you know, arewhere we drawn to people who
energize us or challenge us oroffer comfort.

Speaker 1 (02:16):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:17):
You know, are we prioritizing relationships that
align with our values and goals.

Speaker 1 (02:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:21):
It's a lot to unpack from one little question.

Speaker 1 (02:23):
Yeah, it really makes you think about who you're
giving your time and energy to.
It really makes you think aboutyou know where your energy is
going and who you're spendingyour time with.

Speaker 2 (02:33):
Yeah, and speaking of energy, let's move on to
Lestallion's March Achievementsection.
I like how they're approachingthis.
It's not about, like you know,chasing some big success or
anything.
It's about noticing andappreciating those little wins
that make life, you know, moreenjoyable, richer.

Speaker 1 (02:51):
Yeah, they even have a prompt about like the best
meal you cooked or ate in March.

Speaker 2 (02:56):
Right.

Speaker 1 (02:56):
At first I was like really that's an achievement,
but then it made me think abouttheir whole philosophy.

Speaker 2 (03:00):
It's so true.
It's about finding thosemoments of joy in the everyday
those simple pleasures thatnourish us.
It's so true.
It's about finding thosemoments of joy in the everyday,
those simple pleasures thatnourish us.
It's so easy to get caught upstriving for the next big thing
that we forget to appreciate allthose little things that
actually make life enjoyable.

Speaker 1 (03:14):
Yeah, it's not even just about like the food itself,
right, it's about like beingpresent and mindful and
appreciating those littlemoments of like sensory pleasure
.

Speaker 2 (03:25):
Exactly, and I think that ties back to you know what
we were talking about earlierwith balance.

Speaker 1 (03:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (03:30):
It's not about, you know, neglecting ambition or
anything.
It's just about finding the joyin the journey as well as, you
know, reaching for those goals.

Speaker 1 (03:38):
Right, it's not always sunshine and roses and
gourmet meals, exactly so Iappreciate that Lestallion
doesn't shy away from like thetough stuff either.
They have a whole section aboutMarch challenges.

Speaker 2 (03:48):
They do.

Speaker 1 (03:48):
How do they approach that?

Speaker 2 (03:50):
One prompt that I thought was really insightful
was what lesson did March teachyou about resilience?
Because it's so easy to getkind of stuck in that cycle of,
you know, setbacks andfrustration, and this prompt
really encourages us to shiftour perspective and look for
like the opportunity for growthin any challenge.

Speaker 1 (04:12):
Yeah, I love that.
It's like that quote reflect onthe past but keep your gaze on
the possibilities ahead, orsomething like that.
Yes, reflect on the past butkeep your gaze on the
possibilities ahead, orsomething like that.
Yes, like it's acknowledgingthose challenges happen, but not
letting them, like, define us.
Exactly it's less aboutdwelling and more about okay.
What did I learn?
What can I take away from this?
How can I use this to growRight and that growth mindset is

(04:33):
so important?

Speaker 2 (04:34):
It is.

Speaker 1 (04:34):
You're not just trying to survive the challenge,
you're trying to learn from itand grow from it Exactly.

Speaker 2 (04:38):
You're turning those stumbling blocks into stepping
stones, and you know what canreally help with that Right
Gratitude.
It might seem kind ofcounterintuitive to think about
gratitude when we're, you know,struggling with challenges.
Yeah, but that's exactly whatLestallion wants us to do.

Speaker 1 (04:56):
It's true, they have a whole section about it and
they don't even just say, like,what are you grateful for?
Right, there's one prompt thatsays what piece of art or
culture movie, music, artinspired you in March.

Speaker 2 (05:06):
Oh, I love that one.
I know it's so good it remindsus that, like, inspiration is
everywhere.

Speaker 1 (05:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (05:13):
And you know, sometimes tapping into that,
especially like creative sources, could be just what we need to
boost our well-being.

Speaker 1 (05:20):
Totally.
It's like that feeling you getwhen you see a great movie or
you hear an amazing song for thefirst time.

Speaker 2 (05:25):
Yes.

Speaker 1 (05:25):
And it just like shifts your energy a little bit.

Speaker 2 (05:30):
Exactly.

Speaker 1 (05:31):
It gives you a new perspective, even if it's just
for a moment.
Yeah, and suddenly that problemyou were facing doesn't feel so
big anymore.
Exactly, it's all about findingthose pockets of beauty and
inspiration and then using themto, you know, boost our
creativity and our resilience.

Speaker 2 (05:43):
I love that.
Ok, so we've talked aboutreflection, achievement,
challenges, gratitude.
It seems like Lestallion isencouraging a really mindful and
intentional approach to life.

Speaker 1 (05:55):
Definitely.

Speaker 2 (05:56):
But how do we actually put all this into
practice?

Speaker 1 (05:59):
That's the million dollar question, isn't it?
It's one thing to like reflecton these things.

Speaker 2 (06:03):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (06:03):
But it's another to actually take action and make
some changes.

Speaker 2 (06:06):
Right.

Speaker 1 (06:06):
And Lestallion does have a looking forward section.
But I think the message here isbigger than just like setting
some goals for April.

Speaker 2 (06:14):
What do you mean?

Speaker 1 (06:15):
I think it's about carrying this sense of
reflection and intention with usall the time.

Speaker 2 (06:20):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (06:20):
Like how can we be more present, more grateful,
more resilient in our everydaylives, not just in March?
You know I love that.
It's not just about checkingthings off a to-do list, it's
like a way of life.

Speaker 2 (06:32):
Exactly, and hey, if having a beautiful journal helps
with that, Lestallion does makesome beautiful journals.

Speaker 1 (06:38):
I know I'm picturing myself now, like with a colorful
journal, you know thoughtfullyjournaling Whatever works right.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (06:45):
The important thing is that you find what resonates
with you and you make your own.

Speaker 1 (06:49):
I love that.

Speaker 2 (06:50):
So, to everyone listening, we'd love to know
what resonated with you, whatinsights are you taking away
from this deep dive?
Because even we learned a lotfrom this conversation.
