Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right.
So today we're diving intosomething that I think a lot of
our listeners are going to findreally interesting, yeah, and
that is journaling forself-improvement, and
specifically, we're looking atthese 50 men's journal prompts.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (00:15):
From this blog called Lestallion.
Have you heard of this blog?

Speaker 2 (00:19):
I have.
Yeah, they're all about likehelping guys unlock their
potential through writing.

Speaker 1 (00:25):
I love that, and so the idea of like prompts that
are specifically designed formen, I think, is super
intriguing.

Speaker 2 (00:31):
Yeah, it's interesting how they approach
this.
You know, it's not just likeright about your day kind of
thing.
Right, they're really trying toget at those areas where maybe
guys typically hold back alittle bit.

Speaker 1 (00:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (00:40):
You know, talking about their emotions and
vulnerabilities and all thatstuff that you know.
Society tells us we should justkeep bottled up.

Speaker 1 (00:46):
Yeah, it's like they're providing like a safe
space, but it's on paper.
Yeah, to kind of explore all ofthat stuff.

Speaker 2 (00:52):
Exactly.

Speaker 1 (00:52):
OK, so the stallion breaks these 50 prompts down
into four different areasPersonal growth, strong
relationships, emotionalwellness and health and fitness.
And then they have a wholeseparate section on embracing
new beginnings.

Speaker 2 (01:07):
Pretty comprehensive.

Speaker 1 (01:08):
It sounds pretty comprehensive yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:10):
And you know, I think what's really smart about this
is they recognize that all ofthese areas are actually
intertwined.
Yes, you think about it likeyou know, you're not going to
crush your fitness goals just byhitting the gym.

Speaker 1 (01:20):
Right.

Speaker 2 (01:21):
You need that mental toughness, you need self-belief,
and like those are personalgrowth skills too.

Speaker 1 (01:26):
Totally.
It's like that, saying likestrong mind, strong body.

Speaker 2 (01:29):
Exactly.

Speaker 1 (01:30):
So let's kind of unpack some of these prompts.

Speaker 2 (01:31):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (01:32):
In the personal growth section.
They really push you to defineyour values.
There's one prompt that askshow do you define success in
your personal life?

Speaker 2 (01:41):
Oh, interesting.

Speaker 1 (01:42):
Not career success, but what makes you feel
accomplished, accomplished likeas a person.

Speaker 2 (01:47):
That's such a good question because you know what
society tells us.
Success is as often sodifferent from what actually
makes us feel fulfilled asindividuals.
So I think it's really valuableto cut through all the noise
and get to the core of whatreally matters to you.

Speaker 1 (02:03):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:03):
Another prompt in this section that I thought was
really interesting was what'sone area you'd like to continue
growing in?

Speaker 1 (02:09):
Well, that's a good one.

Speaker 2 (02:10):
Yeah, because it emphasizes that idea that you
know personal growth is alifelong journey.

Speaker 1 (02:16):
It's not a destination.

Speaker 2 (02:17):
Right, exactly.
You don't just hit some leveland you're like, okay, I'm done.

Speaker 1 (02:20):
I'm a fully formed person now.

Speaker 2 (02:21):
Exactly, but it's easy to get complacent.

Speaker 1 (02:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:24):
So I think that prompt is a good reminder to
keep consciously moving forward.

Speaker 1 (02:29):
Yeah, to always be kind of leveling up in some way.
Yeah, so speaking of movingforward.
Let's shift to the strongrelationship section.
Ok, this one really dives intolike the nitty gritty of what
makes relationships thrive ofwhat makes relationships thrive.
Yeah, like communication,appreciation, and even like
navigating those toughconversations that we all try to

(02:49):
avoid.

Speaker 2 (02:50):
Oh, for sure.

Speaker 1 (02:51):
There's one prompt that stood out to me, and it was
how do you set boundaries inrelationships to protect your
mental health?

Speaker 2 (02:58):
Oh, that's huge.
I think we've all been in thosesituations where we felt like
our boundaries were crossed.

Speaker 1 (03:03):
Totally.

Speaker 2 (03:04):
But we didn't necessarily speak up.
Yeah, so I love that thisprompt is making us think about.
You know, where are we notsetting those clear boundaries,
and what is that costing us?

Speaker 1 (03:16):
That's a great point and it makes you think about you
know, healthy relationships arebuilt on mutual respect.

Speaker 2 (03:21):
For sure.

Speaker 1 (03:22):
And part of that is honoring your own needs and
limits.

Speaker 2 (03:25):
Yeah, you can't pour from an empty cup, right?

Speaker 1 (03:27):
Exactly, and Lestallion doesn't just limit
this to like romanticrelationships.

Speaker 2 (03:32):
Right.

Speaker 1 (03:32):
They also have prompts for friendships and
family dynamics too.

Speaker 2 (03:36):
It makes sense because those boundaries are
important across the board.

Speaker 1 (03:39):
Yeah, absolutely.
There's also a prompt aboutlearning from past relationships
, which I think ties in reallynicely with the personal growth
theme that we were talking about.

Speaker 2 (03:48):
It's about recognizing those patterns you
know, understanding what workedand what didn't in those past
relationships.

Speaker 1 (03:55):
Right.

Speaker 2 (03:55):
And then using those insights to build stronger,
healthier connections, movingforward.

Speaker 1 (04:00):
It's like turning those past experiences into
valuable lessons for the future.

Speaker 2 (04:04):
Exactly.
So, yeah, and so now we'regetting to a section that I
think is super important.
Okay, especially for men, youknow.

Speaker 1 (04:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (04:14):
Who might have been raised with that whole?
Like boys, don't cry.
Mentality Right, emotionalwellness.

Speaker 1 (04:18):
Like Lestallion is saying, hey, it's not just okay
to have emotions.

Speaker 2 (04:23):
Right.

Speaker 1 (04:24):
It's essential, yeah, Like to acknowledge them, to
process them Exactly.
And there's one prompt thatjust it's so direct.
It says what is one emotionyou've been struggling with
recently and how do you copewith it?

Speaker 2 (04:36):
Oh, wow.

Speaker 1 (04:37):
It's like forcing you to just confront it.

Speaker 2 (04:39):
Yeah, you can't really avoid it when it's
staring you right in the face.

Speaker 1 (04:42):
Right, those feelings that you might be trying to
like bury down.

Speaker 2 (04:45):
Exactly, and you know , it's about developing that
emotional literacy, being ableto like, identify and understand
your emotions so you canactually manage them effectively
.

Speaker 1 (04:54):
That makes sense.

Speaker 2 (04:56):
And they don't shy away from the tougher emotions
either, like there are promptsthat are specifically for
dealing with anger andloneliness.

Speaker 1 (05:05):
Which, let's be real, like we all experience those
things.
Absolutely At some point.
Oh, but it's what we do withthem that matters, and
Lestallion seems to beencouraging a more like, mindful
approach.
There's one prompt that askshow do you handle feelings of
loneliness or isolation?

Speaker 2 (05:25):
Oh, that's a good one .

Speaker 1 (05:26):
So it's not just about like wallowing in it.
Right, it's about thinking okay, how do I build meaningful
connections?

Speaker 2 (05:32):
Yes, and I think that's such a powerful antidote
to loneliness.

Speaker 1 (05:35):
Totally.

Speaker 2 (05:36):
It's, you know, recognizing that we're social
creatures and we need thatconnection for our well-being.

Speaker 1 (05:41):
Yeah, for sure.
So now let's shift gears to atopic that I know a lot of our
listeners are probablyinterested in Okay Health and
fitness.
Yeah, and what I appreciateabout Lestallion's approach here
is that they go beyond, likethe superficial stuff.

Speaker 2 (05:54):
Oh, yeah, totally.

Speaker 1 (05:55):
Like there's a prompt that says define health beyond
physical fitness.

Speaker 2 (05:59):
I love that.

Speaker 1 (06:00):
It's like it's making you think bigger picture.
You know what about your mentaland emotional health?
It's like it's making you thinkbigger picture.
You know what about?
Your mental and emotionalhealth, your energy levels Right
, just your overall sense ofwell-being.

Speaker 2 (06:09):
It's about understanding that true health
is holistic.

Speaker 1 (06:12):
Yeah, it's not just about like six-pack abs.

Speaker 2 (06:14):
Right, exactly.

Speaker 1 (06:15):
And then they also delve into the mindset piece
which, as we've discussed, is sointerconnected with all those
other areas.

Speaker 2 (06:23):
Yeah, absolutely.

Speaker 1 (06:23):
There's a prompt that asks how do you stay motivated
to maintain your fitness goals?

Speaker 2 (06:28):
Oh, that's a good one , because, you know, motivation
isn't just about willpower,right, it's about setting
yourself up for success withlike sustainable habits Totally
and a positive mindset.

Speaker 1 (06:39):
It's like are your strategies actually working for
you?

Speaker 2 (06:41):
Exactly In the long run.
Yes, Okay.

Speaker 1 (06:44):
So speaking of mindset, let's move on to that
final section, embracing newbeginnings.

Speaker 2 (06:49):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (06:50):
This one feels really relevant for anyone who's going
through a transition or justlooking to make a change in
their life.

Speaker 2 (06:55):
Yeah, I think we can all relate to that.
Yeah, for sure, yeah.

Speaker 1 (06:59):
And there's this one prompt that really resonated
with me.
It says how do you handleuncertainty when starting
something new?

Speaker 2 (07:07):
Oh, that's a big one, because change can be daunting.

Speaker 1 (07:11):
It can be scary.

Speaker 2 (07:12):
But you know it's important to remember that
there's so much potential forgrowth and fulfillment on the
other side of that discomfort.

Speaker 1 (07:20):
Totally Like we've all been there right, that mix
of nerves and excitement whenyou're stepping into the unknown
.

Speaker 2 (07:27):
It's like a roller coaster of emotions.

Speaker 1 (07:29):
And this section also encourages you to like really
get clear on your goals.
Okay, there's a prompt thatasks what is one goal you're
excited to pursue in the nearfuture?

Speaker 2 (07:39):
Oh, that's a good one .

Speaker 1 (07:40):
It's a great way to just like focus your energy and
start taking those first steps.

Speaker 2 (07:44):
It's about setting those intentions and visualizing
that success.

Speaker 1 (07:47):
Totally.
And Lestallion doesn't stopthere.

Speaker 2 (07:50):
No.

Speaker 1 (07:50):
They also emphasize the importance of breaking down
those big goals into smaller,actionable steps.
Okay, there's a prompt thatsays what is one small step you
can take today to move closer tothat goal?
Oh, I love that one.
It's such a good reminder.

Speaker 2 (08:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (08:06):
Because it's easy to get overwhelmed by like these
huge goals, but if you just takeone small step every day,
Exactly it adds up.

Speaker 2 (08:13):
It's about consistency and showing up for
yourself, even when it feelshard.

Speaker 1 (08:19):
Yeah, and there's even a prompt that reminds us to
be patient.

Speaker 2 (08:23):
Oh, that's important.

Speaker 1 (08:24):
And trust the process .

Speaker 2 (08:25):
Especially when it comes to new beginnings.

Speaker 1 (08:28):
Yes.

Speaker 2 (08:29):
You know it's easy to want to see those results right
away.

Speaker 1 (08:33):
Instant gratification .

Speaker 2 (08:34):
Exactly, but real growth takes time and effort.

Speaker 1 (08:38):
I feel like with all these prompts, it's like
Lestallion's giving you like atoolkit.

Speaker 2 (08:43):

Speaker 1 (08:43):
Not to become somebody else, but just to like
build a better version ofyourself.
