The humble journal has been humanity's constant companion for millennia. From ancient Egyptian papyrus scrolls to Renaissance thinkers' ornate notebooks, the urge to document our thoughts has shaped human history—and continues to transform our lives today.
Discover why the physical features of your journal matter more than you might think. We explore how quality paper prevents frustrating ink bleed-through, how flat-lay binding eliminates the struggle with stubborn spines, and why finding the right page style—whether lined, dot grid, or blank—can unlock your specific journaling style. These aren't mere preferences; they're the difference between a journal that fights against your creativity and one that helps it flow.
Leonardo da Vinci carried notebooks everywhere, filling them with everything from brilliant inventions to mundane grocery lists. This connection between genius and journaling isn't coincidental. When we write, we engage in what we call "mental decluttering"—transferring our swirling thoughts onto the page creates space for calm and clarity. As author Anne Lamott wisely noted, "Almost anything will work again if you unplug it for a few minutes, including you."
Whether you're drawn to bullet journaling, gratitude practices, or simply pouring your heart onto the page, the perfect journal is waiting to become your companion. We share resources to help you navigate the journaling landscape and find your unique voice. By putting pen to paper, you're joining a centuries-old tradition of thinkers, creators, and seekers who found wisdom through the simple act of writing.

Yeah boosting your creativity, being more mindful,
right handling stress yeah goals.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Yeah, it's really cool it is so versatile it is
speaking of versatile, the thingthat really caught my eye yeah
about list allion journals.
Huh is how they like reallycater to all the different
journaling styles.
Yeah, like they've goteverything.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Right.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Lined pages Uh-huh, for just classic journaling.
Right Dot grid layouts yeah, ifyou're into bullet journaling.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Absolutely, that's so important.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
They really get it.
They do, oh right, the physicallike features.
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Of the journal you choose.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Like features of the journal you choose can like
really make a difference in yourwhole journaling experience.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
For better or worse for example yeah.
I've heard from so many peoplewho do bullet journaling and
they absolutely love the dotgrid pages in the list and
they're like yeah it's like justthe right amount structure for
making those nice bullet lists,lists and calendars right, but
they don't like, box you increative yeah, you don't feel
limited, exactly right it's agreat example of how listallion
(02:52):
yeah does this thing where theyblend.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Yeah, being practical yeah with letting you express
yourself however you want makestotal sense it does you know, I
remember trying bulletjournaling, just a regular lined
notebook, and it was like Ijust felt so constricted.
Right, it was like the lineswere, like telling me what to do
, what not to do.
It's like they're trying tocontrol you.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
I can see how those dot grids are like the best of
both worlds.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
It really is about finding the right tools.
Yeah, that fit your style ofjournaling yeah and like what
you're trying to get out of itabsolutely and speaking of tools
, okay, another thing yeah,that's really cool about
listalian journals is theirpaper they use this like thick,
(03:40):
high quality paper okay thatkeeps the ink from bleeding
through.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Oh yeah, which, like a lot of people, have that as
like a pet peeve yeah, that's abig one with journals yeah, for
sure I remember reading a storyoh really about a listallion
user who was a calligrapher oh,wow and they were like raving
about how the paper let theirink right flow smoothly without
(04:06):
any feathering or bleed through,which is like so important when
you're doing those intricateletters.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Right, I can only imagine how frustrating it would
be to have a beautiful piece ofcalligraphy just ruined by ink
bleeding through Right.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
That's the worst and that's what's so great about how
listallion pays attention toall these little details?
You know yeah they've reallythought about the practical
stuff that journalers need andmade sure that the paper like
helps you be creative yeahinstead of like getting in the
way right they even havejournals with watercolor paper
(04:45):
for people.
That's cool.
Like to paint?
Speaker 1 (04:49):
I've never even thought about using watercolors
in a journal it's pretty coolbut it sounds amazing it is like
another way to express yourselfand speaking of possibilities
the way listallion does theirbinding it's like a game changer
they call it a flat lay bindingokay, and it lets the journal
lie totally flat.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Oh wow, so it's way easier to write across both
pages yeah, that's something Ialways struggle with in other
journals I bet that bindingmakes it so awkward to write on
that left side.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
It it's the worst.
Yeah, it is.
Yeah, it's like you'rewrestling with the notebook just
to get your thoughts out.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
It's like come on.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
I've heard from other Lestallion users that this flat
lay binding is a game changer.
It is Especially if you're likejournaling on the go Right.
Can you imagine trying to jotdown a quick thought on a bumpy
train ride?
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Yeah, you need that.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
The flat lay design would be so clutch.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
It makes things so much easier.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Yeah, it does.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
It really does.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
It's all about creating a writing experience
that just flows and feels good,no matter where you are or how
you're journaling.
Exactly, and that's somethingLestallion seems to have nailed.
They really do, yeah, it seemslike They've thought about every
detail.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Right.
From the paper to the bindingto make the whole journaling
experience so much better.
And don't forget about howdurable their journals are.
Don't forget about how durabletheir journals are.
They use really good materialsand construction to make sure
that their journals can likehandle everyday use.
I know someone.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Oh really, who's?
Speaker 2 (06:33):
had their Lestallion for over five years, wow, and it
still looks brand new.
Speaker 1 (06:39):

journal.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
That's going to be with them for a long time.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
A true companion.
Yeah Right, exactly Investingin a high quality tool that's
going to support you on yourjournaling journey.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
For years to come.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Right this focus on durability makes me think of how
historical figures would relyon their journals to withstand
the test of time.
Right, speaking of history.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Did you know Leonardo da Vinci?
Oh yeah, was a huge journaler.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
I've heard that.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Tell me more.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
He was known for carrying a notebook with him
everywhere he went, and he wouldfill it with sketches,
inventions, observations aboutnature.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Even grocery lists.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Really yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
It was like this extension of his brilliant mind.
Wow, like you know, that'spretty awesome.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
It's incredible.
I get to think about thosenotebooks surviving all these
years and giving us a glimpseinto his creative process.
That's really cool.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
It really shows how a journal can be this tangible
record of our thoughts, ideas,experiences, something we can
look back on and learn from.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
It's like having a conversation with your past self
.
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Isn't that neat.
It is Like having aconversation with yourself from
years ago.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
I love that idea of a journal as a tangible legacy,
and it makes me wonder what kindof legacy would I want to leave
behind in my own journals?
That's a good question.
What stories?
Speaker 2 (08:29):
would I want to tell?
What would you want to say?
Speaker 1 (08:32):
It's pretty cool.
That's a powerful question.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
And it makes you realize that journaling isn't
just about past, it's also aboutshaping the future.
By writing down our goals,aspirations, even our fears,
we're actively creatingourselves.
It's like we're givingourselves permission to dream
and imagine what's possible.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
And speaking of dreams, one of the articles you
sent mentioned Oprah Winfrey'sbelief in the power of
journaling.
She even said that keeping ajournal can change your life in
ways you never imagined.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
I love that.
She's a great example ofsomeone who's really embraced
journaling as a tool forpersonal growth and
self-discovery.
She often talks about howjournaling has helped her
connect with that inner voiceand make sense of her
experiences.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Yeah, and I think that's something a lot of
Lestallion users can relate to.
I've seen so many testimonials.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Yeah, me too.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
From people who have found clarity healing, even a
sense of purpose.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
It's amazing.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Through their listallion journals.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
It is.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
It's amazing how a simple act like writing can have
such a huge impact on our lives.
It's powerful stuff, it reallyis.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
And it's not just about personal growth, either
Right Right.
I've been reading about howjournaling can be a really
powerful tool.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Absolutely For managing stress and anxiety.
It can be incrediblytherapeutic.
Oh, yeah, it gives you thissafe space to express and
process emotions, to untangleall that worry and stress that
can build up inside.
Think of it like mentaldecluttering.
(10:31):
I like that, you know, bygetting those thoughts.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Feelings out of our heads and onto paper.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
We create space and calm and clarity.
I love that yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Mental decluttering.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
It's a good one.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
It makes so much sense right, yeah and I can see
how the physical act of writingthings down right would help
release yeah that tension, likeyou're transferring the burden
exactly from your mind to thepage.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
It's like you're taking it out of your head and
putting it somewhere else.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
And it's interesting how certain Lestallian features
can like enhance thattherapeutic effect.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Yeah, For example the soft touch covers on some of
their journals.
They're designed to be tactileand calming.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Right.
Almost like they're invitingyou to hold the journal and find
comfort yeah, it's pages, it'slike they consider the emotional
well-being of the user as muchas the practical aspects really
of journaling yeah, wow, it'sreally thoughtful that's really
thoughtful isn't it yeah I cansee how those little details can
(11:47):
make a big difference.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
They can in someone's experience especially if
they're using journaling to dealwith stress or anxiety you know
, it's all about creating anenvironment that feels safe and
inviting right conducive toemotional expression and's
something and the stallion seemsto get.

Of what makes a journal.
Speaker 2 (12:14):

Yeah, it's like Right , they created this tool.
Yeah, that f Connection withourselves, connection with our
thoughts and emotions, evenconnection with other people.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
You bring up a really interesting point about
connection with others whilejournaling is often seen as the
solitary practice.
It can also be a reallypowerful tool for building and
strengthening relationships.
Oh, how so Well imagine using ajournal to write letters to
(12:51):
loved ones, capturing thosespecial moments you've shared or
expressing your gratitude forthem being in your life.
Or maybe using a journal todocument a shared experience,
like a trip or a creativeproject.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Right, it becomes this tangible thread that
connects you through words andmemories and this is where
listallion's focus on qualityand durability right really
comes into play.

It does.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Knowing that your journal is built to last gives
you the confidence to sharethose intimate thoughts and
stories, knowing that they'll bepreserved for years to come.

So we've talked about a lot ofthe benefits of journaling.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
We have.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
But how do we actually choose the right
journal?
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Good question For ourselves.

options out there.
There are a ton.
Yeah Like, how do you even?
Yeah Like, how do you even?
Speaker 1 (14:46):

So let's dive into some of thekey things to consider when
you're picking that perfectjournal.
So first, up Okay.
We've got portability.
Okay, Like how easy is it totake your journal with you
wherever you go.
Wherever you go, you know yeah,do you want something?
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Wherever you go.
Wherever you go, you know.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Yeah, do you want something?
Speaker 2 (15:07):
I want like a tiny little compact, compact.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Yeah, that fits in your bag Right or your pocket.
Yeah, or do you prefersomething larger?
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Right.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
That you keep at home .

Speaker 1 (15:21):
It's all about what works for you.
Speaker 2 (15:23):

Hosts they offer a whole rangeof sizes, so you can find one
that fits your needs.

Speaker 2 (15:48):
Yeah, for your bag or something more substantial.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
Yeah, keep it home right at home.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Yeah, another biggie okay is paper thickness.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
Oh yeah, right this is a big one this is huge for me
too.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Nobody wants their ink right through the page.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
It's the worst yeah especially if you're using like
a nice pen right, or you'redoing some fancy lettering.
Oh, totally Calligraphy, youknow.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
You don't want that.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
It can ruin the whole thing it can ruin your whole
journal.
And that's where Listallionreally shines.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
They use high quality paper that's thick enough.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Okay, to prevent that bleed through.
Yeah, that's so important, soyou can use your favorite pens
markers, Right Even watercolor.
Even watercolor, Withoutworrying.
Oh wow.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
About it.
It's impressive Showing through.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
Yeah, to the other side, that's great.
Now binding is anotherimportant factor.
It is To consider it really is.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Some journals have really stiff bindings.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Right, that make it.
Yeah.
Bindings right, that make it,yeah hard.
Yeah, it can be hard to writeon the left hand side oh, the
worst, the left hand side.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
You know, you know and you end up with all this
unused space yeah, you end upwith like half a journal, but
what?
Listallion okay, uses a specialyeah flat lay binding I love
that which lets the journal yeah, that lets, it lie completely
flat completely flat, so you canwrite comfortably, comfortably
across both pages on both pagesno more wrestling

sure for sure and then, ofcourse, we have to talk about
cover design yeah right, this isa big one it's all the personal
preference mm-hmm but you wantsomething yeah, you want
something you know speaks to you, right something yeah, that

In today's fast-paced digital world, journaling
offers this sanctuary forslowing down, unplugging,
reconnecting with ourselves.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
I love that.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
It's like hitting the pause button on the constant
stream of information.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
Distraction.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Yeah, all the noise.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
All the noise.
It can be overwhelming, and itallows us to tune in to our own
thoughts and feelings.
I remember reading a quote fromAnne.
Lamott, that really capturesthis sentiment.
She said What'd she say?
Almost anything will work againif you unplug it for a few
(19:15):
minutes including you.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
Oh, that's good.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
Right.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
That's a good one.
And journaling.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
Yeah, could be that act of unplugging.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
Yeah, creating space Right For stillness, reflection
yeah, amidst the chaos, right ofeveryday life looks like, like
we're giving ourselvespermission, yeah, to just to
just be there, be yeah and Ithink that's what makes the
stallion journal so special whatis it?

Okay.

If you could travel back in time and chat with one
of the historical figures wementioned like Leonardo da Vinci

Like going all the way back to.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Papyrus, and then even those like really ornate
journals.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Right that Renaissance thinkers used.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
It seems like people have always had this like.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
This urge to write down their thoughts and what
they were experiencing.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
It's pretty powerful.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
It really is.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
When you think about it.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
It's not just like some trendy.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Right.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Self-care thing.
It's like this oh, it's beenaround, it's woven into the
fabric of like of who we are.
Human history yeah, for like areally long time, for a really
long time you know, yeah,thousands of years it's also
changed right a lot over time,like what started as this way to
keep track of history and likewhat was happening in their
(01:40):
lives.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Now it's like yeah it's for everything it's for
everything you know.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Yeah boosting your creativity, being more mindful,
right handling stress yeah goals.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Yeah, it's really cool it is so versatile it is
speaking of versatile, the thingthat really caught my eye yeah
about list allion journals.
Huh is how they like reallycater to all the different
journaling styles.
Yeah, like they've goteverything.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Right.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Lined pages Uh-huh, for just classic journaling.
Right Dot grid layouts yeah, ifyou're into bullet journaling.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Absolutely, that's so important.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
They really get it.
They do, oh right, the physicallike features.
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Of the journal you choose.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Like features of the journal you choose can like
really make a difference in yourwhole journaling experience.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
For better or worse for example yeah.
I've heard from so many peoplewho do bullet journaling and
they absolutely love the dotgrid pages in the list and
they're like yeah it's like justthe right amount structure for
making those nice bullet lists,lists and calendars right, but
they don't like, box you increative yeah, you don't feel
limited, exactly right it's agreat example of how listallion
(02:52):
yeah does this thing where theyblend.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Yeah, being practical yeah with letting you express
yourself however you want makestotal sense it does you know, I
remember trying bulletjournaling, just a regular lined
notebook, and it was like Ijust felt so constricted.
Right, it was like the lineswere, like telling me what to do
, what not to do.
It's like they're trying tocontrol you.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
I can see how those dot grids are like the best of
both worlds.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
It really is about finding the right tools.
Yeah, that fit your style ofjournaling yeah and like what
you're trying to get out of itabsolutely and speaking of tools
, okay, another thing yeah,that's really cool about
listalian journals is theirpaper they use this like thick,
(03:40):
high quality paper okay thatkeeps the ink from bleeding
through.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Oh yeah, which, like a lot of people, have that as
like a pet peeve yeah, that's abig one with journals yeah, for
sure I remember reading a storyoh really about a listallion
user who was a calligrapher oh,wow and they were like raving
about how the paper let theirink right flow smoothly without
(04:06):
any feathering or bleed through,which is like so important when
you're doing those intricateletters.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Right, I can only imagine how frustrating it would
be to have a beautiful piece ofcalligraphy just ruined by ink
bleeding through Right.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
That's the worst and that's what's so great about how
listallion pays attention toall these little details?
You know yeah they've reallythought about the practical
stuff that journalers need andmade sure that the paper like
helps you be creative yeahinstead of like getting in the
way right they even havejournals with watercolor paper
(04:45):
for people.
That's cool.
Like to paint?
Speaker 1 (04:49):
I've never even thought about using watercolors
in a journal it's pretty coolbut it sounds amazing it is like
another way to express yourselfand speaking of possibilities
the way listallion does theirbinding it's like a game changer
they call it a flat lay bindingokay, and it lets the journal
lie totally flat.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Oh wow, so it's way easier to write across both
pages yeah, that's something Ialways struggle with in other
journals I bet that bindingmakes it so awkward to write on
that left side.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
It it's the worst.
Yeah, it is.
Yeah, it's like you'rewrestling with the notebook just
to get your thoughts out.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
It's like come on.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
I've heard from other Lestallion users that this flat
lay binding is a game changer.
It is Especially if you're likejournaling on the go Right.
Can you imagine trying to jotdown a quick thought on a bumpy
train ride?
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Yeah, you need that.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
The flat lay design would be so clutch.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
It makes things so much easier.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Yeah, it does.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
It really does.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
It's all about creating a writing experience
that just flows and feels good,no matter where you are or how
you're journaling.
Exactly, and that's somethingLestallion seems to have nailed.
They really do, yeah, it seemslike They've thought about every
detail.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Right.
From the paper to the bindingto make the whole journaling
experience so much better.
And don't forget about howdurable their journals are.
Don't forget about how durabletheir journals are.
They use really good materialsand construction to make sure
that their journals can likehandle everyday use.
I know someone.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Oh really, who's?
Speaker 2 (06:33):
had their Lestallion for over five years, wow, and it
still looks brand new.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
That's incredible.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
It's amazing they're built to last.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
They are.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
You know, which is perfect for people who want to
journal.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
That's going to be with them for a long time.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
A true companion.
Yeah Right, exactly Investingin a high quality tool that's
going to support you on yourjournaling journey.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
For years to come.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Right this focus on durability makes me think of how
historical figures would relyon their journals to withstand
the test of time.
Right, speaking of history.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Did you know Leonardo da Vinci?
Oh yeah, was a huge journaler.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
I've heard that.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Tell me more.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
He was known for carrying a notebook with him
everywhere he went, and he wouldfill it with sketches,
inventions, observations aboutnature.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Even grocery lists.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Really yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
It was like this extension of his brilliant mind.
Wow, like you know, that'spretty awesome.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
It's incredible.
I get to think about thosenotebooks surviving all these
years and giving us a glimpseinto his creative process.
That's really cool.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
It really shows how a journal can be this tangible
record of our thoughts, ideas,experiences, something we can
look back on and learn from.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
It's like having a conversation with your past self
.
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Isn't that neat.
It is Like having aconversation with yourself from
years ago.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
I love that idea of a journal as a tangible legacy,
and it makes me wonder what kindof legacy would I want to leave
behind in my own journals?
That's a good question.
What stories?
Speaker 2 (08:29):
would I want to tell?
What would you want to say?
Speaker 1 (08:32):
It's pretty cool.
That's a powerful question.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
And it makes you realize that journaling isn't
just about past, it's also aboutshaping the future.
By writing down our goals,aspirations, even our fears,
we're actively creatingourselves.
It's like we're givingourselves permission to dream
and imagine what's possible.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
And speaking of dreams, one of the articles you
sent mentioned Oprah Winfrey'sbelief in the power of
journaling.
She even said that keeping ajournal can change your life in
ways you never imagined.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
I love that.
She's a great example ofsomeone who's really embraced
journaling as a tool forpersonal growth and
self-discovery.
She often talks about howjournaling has helped her
connect with that inner voiceand make sense of her
experiences.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Yeah, and I think that's something a lot of
Lestallion users can relate to.
I've seen so many testimonials.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Yeah, me too.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
From people who have found clarity healing, even a
sense of purpose.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
It's amazing.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Through their listallion journals.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
It is.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
It's amazing how a simple act like writing can have
such a huge impact on our lives.
It's powerful stuff, it reallyis.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
And it's not just about personal growth, either
Right Right.
I've been reading about howjournaling can be a really
powerful tool.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Absolutely For managing stress and anxiety.
It can be incrediblytherapeutic.
Oh, yeah, it gives you thissafe space to express and
process emotions, to untangleall that worry and stress that
can build up inside.
Think of it like mentaldecluttering.
(10:31):
I like that, you know, bygetting those thoughts.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Feelings out of our heads and onto paper.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
We create space and calm and clarity.
I love that yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Mental decluttering.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
It's a good one.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
It makes so much sense right, yeah and I can see
how the physical act of writingthings down right would help
release yeah that tension, likeyou're transferring the burden
exactly from your mind to thepage.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
It's like you're taking it out of your head and
putting it somewhere else.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
And it's interesting how certain Lestallian features
can like enhance thattherapeutic effect.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Yeah, For example the soft touch covers on some of
their journals.
They're designed to be tactileand calming.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Right.
Almost like they're invitingyou to hold the journal and find
comfort yeah, it's pages, it'slike they consider the emotional
well-being of the user as muchas the practical aspects really
of journaling yeah, wow, it'sreally thoughtful that's really
thoughtful isn't it yeah I cansee how those little details can
(11:47):
make a big difference.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
They can in someone's experience especially if
they're using journaling to dealwith stress or anxiety you know
, it's all about creating anenvironment that feels safe and
inviting right conducive toemotional expression and's
something and the stallion seemsto get.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
They really seem to they really do Understand that.
Yeah, they seem to have a deepunderstanding.
They do.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Of what makes a journal.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Yeah, more than just a notebook.
Yeah, more than just a blankbook.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Yeah, it's like Right , they created this tool.
Yeah, that f Connection withourselves, connection with our
thoughts and emotions, evenconnection with other people.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
You bring up a really interesting point about
connection with others whilejournaling is often seen as the
solitary practice.
It can also be a reallypowerful tool for building and
strengthening relationships.
Oh, how so Well imagine using ajournal to write letters to
(12:51):
loved ones, capturing thosespecial moments you've shared or
expressing your gratitude forthem being in your life.
Or maybe using a journal todocument a shared experience,
like a trip or a creativeproject.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Right, it becomes this tangible thread that
connects you through words andmemories and this is where
listallion's focus on qualityand durability right really
comes into play.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
It does.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Knowing that your journal is built to last gives
you the confidence to sharethose intimate thoughts and
stories, knowing that they'll bepreserved for years to come.
That's a beautiful way to thinkabout it.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
Yeah, it's like those journals become these precious
time capsules yeah filled withlove, laughter, shared
experiences, and they serve as areminder yeah that even in this
digital age right, there'ssomething really powerful about
preserving memories rightthrough writing through the
(14:03):
written word.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Yeah, absolutely, and I think that's what's so
captivating about journaling.
It transcends time.
It really does it connects usto the past, guides us in the
present and inspires us tocreate the future in the vision.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
It's pretty awesome.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
It is pretty awesome.
Yeah, I know yeah.
So we've talked about a lot ofthe benefits of journaling.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
We have.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
But how do we actually choose the right
journal?
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Good question For ourselves.
That is a good question, right,because there are so many
options out there.
There are a ton.
Yeah Like, how do you even?
Yeah Like, how do you even?
Speaker 1 (14:46):
Yeah.
So let's dive into some of thekey things to consider when
you're picking that perfectjournal.
So first, up Okay.
We've got portability.
Okay, Like how easy is it totake your journal with you
wherever you go.
Wherever you go, you know yeah,do you want something?
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Wherever you go.
Wherever you go, you know.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Yeah, do you want something?
Speaker 2 (15:07):
I want like a tiny little compact, compact.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Yeah, that fits in your bag Right or your pocket.
Yeah, or do you prefersomething larger?
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Right.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
That you keep at home .
Speaker 2 (15:18):
On your desk.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
On your desk.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Yeah, your bedside table, yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
It's all about what works for you.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
It really is, and your lifestyle yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
So, thinking about portability, lestallion actually
offers.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Oh, they do.
Hosts they offer a whole rangeof sizes, so you can find one
that fits your needs.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
That's good, you know yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
Whether you want something compact or on the go,
yeah For your bag.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Or something more substantial?
Yeah, keep it home for on thego.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Yeah, for your bag or something more substantial.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
Yeah, keep it home right at home.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Yeah, another biggie okay is paper thickness.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
Oh yeah, right this is a big one this is huge for me
too.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Nobody wants their ink right through the page.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
It's the worst yeah especially if you're using like
a nice pen right, or you'redoing some fancy lettering.
Oh, totally Calligraphy, youknow.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
You don't want that.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
It can ruin the whole thing it can ruin your whole
journal.
And that's where Listallionreally shines.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
They use high quality paper that's thick enough.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Okay, to prevent that bleed through.
Yeah, that's so important, soyou can use your favorite pens
markers, Right Even watercolor.
Even watercolor, Withoutworrying.
Oh wow.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
About it.
It's impressive Showing through.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
Yeah, to the other side, that's great.
Now binding is anotherimportant factor.
It is To consider it really is.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Some journals have really stiff bindings.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Right, that make it.
Yeah.
Bindings right, that make it,yeah hard.
Yeah, it can be hard to writeon the left hand side oh, the
worst, the left hand side.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
You know, you know and you end up with all this
unused space yeah, you end upwith like half a journal, but
what?
Listallion okay, uses a specialyeah flat lay binding I love
that which lets the journal yeah, that lets, it lie completely
flat completely flat, so you canwrite comfortably, comfortably
across both pages on both pagesno more wrestling
Speaker 2 (17:15):
no more wrestling with the spine, the spine right
it's great, that's a, it's agame changer game changer for
sure for sure and then, ofcourse, we have to talk about
cover design yeah right, this isa big one it's all the personal
preference mm-hmm but you wantsomething yeah, you want
something you know speaks to you, right something yeah, that
(17:36):
you'll love looking at rightevery day that's so important
and the stallion has a widevariety of cover designs to
choose from right, from classicletter to yeah more modern and
minimalist options.
Cool, and finally we have pagetype.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
Page type.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Do you prefer-?
Speaker 1 (17:59):
Lined pages for traditional journaling, or maybe
dot grid for bullet journaling,or blank pages for sketching

Speaker 2 (18:30):
It's really cool.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
It is.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
In today's fast-paced digital world, journaling
offers this sanctuary forslowing down, unplugging,
reconnecting with ourselves.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
I love that.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
It's like hitting the pause button on the constant
stream of information.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
Distraction.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Yeah, all the noise.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
All the noise.
It can be overwhelming, and itallows us to tune in to our own
thoughts and feelings.
I remember reading a quote fromAnne.
Lamott, that really capturesthis sentiment.
She said What'd she say?
Almost anything will work againif you unplug it for a few
(19:15):
minutes including you.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
Oh, that's good.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
