love that you know, I mean, comeon, how often do you hear
something that simple?
But it just clicks.

Speaker 2 (01:05):
Totally, and you know there's actually a ton of
research about the psychologybehind why spring feels tied to
personal growth.
Really it's not just us.

Speaker 1 (01:15):
Oh, tell me more.
I'm always down for a goodbrain fact.

Speaker 2 (01:18):
Okay.
So studies show that journaling, especially during transitional
periods like you guessed itspring can actually rewire our
brains in a way.
Wow, it helps us processemotions better, reduces stress,
like a mental decluttering.
That's in sync with the wholespring cleaning vibe.

Speaker 1 (01:35):
Okay, that makes so much sense.
So it's not just about writingstuff down, it's like actively
helping our brains transitionwith the season.

Speaker 2 (01:41):
Exactly, and these prompts are like a roadmap for
that.
Okay, take the first sectionroadmap for that.
Okay, Take the first sectionspring beginnings.

Speaker 1 (01:46):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (01:46):
There's one that asks what new activities do you want
to start this spring, insteadof just letting spring happen to
us?
It's like we're consciouslychoosing how we want to align
with it.

Speaker 1 (01:56):
Yeah, I feel we often forget we have that choice.
You know, we get so caught upin the day to day.

Speaker 2 (02:02):
Yeah, totally.

Speaker 1 (02:03):
I'm curious what jumps out at you in this section
.

Speaker 2 (02:07):
This is one prompt.
It asks how can you refreshyour daily routine this spring?

Speaker 1 (02:12):
Oh, interesting.

Speaker 2 (02:13):
Yeah, it's easy to fall into routines, and they're
not all bad, but spring's thisreminder that we can always hit
the refresh button.

Speaker 1 (02:20):
Right.

Speaker 2 (02:21):
Even on the small stuff.

Speaker 1 (02:22):
I like that.

Speaker 2 (02:23):
What about you?

Speaker 1 (02:26):
What speaks to you.
There's one that's reallyspeaking to me.
What small act of courage canyou do this spring?
Well, that's a good one.
It's not about needing to makesome big life altering leap, but
maybe there's something you'vebeen putting off just out of
fear or whatever Spring's like.
Hey, maybe now's the time tofinally try that thing.
I love that.
It's like spring gives uspermission to be a little bolder

(02:47):
right okay, so it's not alljust about like doing new things
, is it?
right there's also this wholeaspect of just experiencing
spring that I think we sometimesmiss yeah and this next section
your spring environment reallydives into that oh, absolutely
have you had a chance to look atthis section yet?

Speaker 2 (03:03):
I have, yeah, yeah, and I love how it's like
mindfulness, but with a springtwist.
Yeah, you know.
Yes.

Speaker 1 (03:09):
Yeah, Like there's this prompt what's your favorite
place to visit only duringspring?
It's not just about like beingoutside.

Speaker 2 (03:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (03:17):
But noticing what's unique about being outside now.

Speaker 2 (03:20):
I think that's so key .

Speaker 1 (03:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (03:22):
You know, because we can get so used to our
surroundings, even the beautifulones, that we stop really
seeing them.
And our senses are such apowerful tool, you know, for
connecting with the presentmoment which, let's face, it can
be hard to do sometimes.

Speaker 1 (03:38):
For real.
Okay, so this next section,spring growth, is where things
get really interesting for me,because it's not just about the
flowers and trees, right, right.

Speaker 2 (03:47):
It's about us too.

Speaker 1 (03:48):
It's about us growing too Exactly, and this prompt
what are some habits you'd liketo clear out, Like spring
cleaning?

Speaker 2 (03:56):
really hit me.
That's a good one.
Yeah yeah.
What often comes up for peoplethis time of year is that
connection between our physicalspace and our mental space.
It time of year is thatconnection between our physical
space and our mental space.
It's like decluttering yourmind.

Speaker 1 (04:07):
Oh yeah.

Speaker 2 (04:07):
It's like you might declutter your closet or
something.

Speaker 1 (04:09):
It's so true.
You know I'm a big fan ofvision boards and setting goals,
but this prompt what'ssomething you're proud of
achieving since last spring issuch a good reminder to look
back to.

Speaker 2 (04:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (04:21):
Like we can get so focused on what's next Right
that we forget to celebrate howfar we've come already.

Speaker 2 (04:27):
Such a good point because acknowledging our wins,
even the small ones, is crucialfor staying motivated.

Speaker 1 (04:34):
Yes.

Speaker 2 (04:35):
Like giving ourselves that pat on the back which,
let's be honest, we don't alwaysdo enough.

Speaker 1 (04:39):
Totally Okay, so we've talked about starting
fresh.

Speaker 2 (04:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (04:42):
We've talked about connecting with our environment,
focusing on growth.
This next section your springreflections sounds like where we
take a minute to really processit all.

Speaker 2 (04:52):
Exactly.
It's interesting you say thatbecause this one how has your
energy shifted with the longerdaylight hours is so relevant to
me.

Speaker 1 (05:02):
Oh, tell me more about that.

Speaker 2 (05:03):
Well, our bodies aren't machines Right, even
though we sometimes treat themlike they are.

Speaker 1 (05:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (05:08):
You know, spring's a good time to tune into those
natural rhythms, I think.

Speaker 1 (05:11):
So true, I know I always feel more energized this
time of year, but it's alsoeasier to get caught up in that
and overdo it.
Right?
This section feels like areminder to be intentional Even
with that extra energy.
Okay, so that leads us nicelyto the final section, looking
forward to summer.

Speaker 2 (05:29):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (05:30):
I love how this whole journal prompt collection keeps
things moving.
You know like we've reflectedon all the spring stuff, but how
do we actually carry thatforward?

Speaker 2 (05:38):
Right like building a bridge almost from one season
to the next.
Yeah, both literally andmentally.
And this prompt what intentionsdo you want to carry with you
from spring into summer?

Speaker 1 (05:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (05:52):
That one really stood out to me Interesting.

Speaker 1 (05:54):
Tell me more about that.

Speaker 2 (05:55):
It's about, you know, taking those lessons, those
insights we've been talkingabout and making them a part of
our, like you know, ongoingjourney.

Speaker 1 (06:02):
It's so easy to just get to the end of any season,
even one as awesome as spring.

Speaker 2 (06:07):
Right.

Speaker 1 (06:08):
And just be like well , that was nice, but back to
reality.

Speaker 2 (06:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (06:11):
But this is like no way.
What did we learn?
What do we want to keep with us?

Speaker 2 (06:15):
Exactly, and this whole idea of intentionality.

Speaker 1 (06:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (06:17):
You know that's so powerful.
Yeah, you know.
There's actually a study fromthe University of California
that found that people who wrotedown their goals were
significantly more likely toachieve them.
Wow, it's like just by puttingit out there, even just on paper
, we're making a commitment toourselves.

Speaker 1 (06:34):
Okay, I am all about that.
You know, what's been reallycool about like diving into
these pomps with you today isthat it's made me realize this
whole spring renewal thingdoesn't have to be limited to
just spring.

Speaker 2 (06:47):
You're totally right.
You know, think about it.
We go through so manytransitions in life, that's true
, big and small, yeah.
New jobs moving, maybe endingsome relationships, those are
all like mini springs in a way.

Speaker 1 (07:00):
Oh, that's a good point.

Speaker 2 (07:01):
And we can use these same prompts, these same
reflective practices to navigatethose changes too.

Speaker 1 (07:07):
Whoa.

Speaker 2 (07:08):
Right.

Speaker 1 (07:09):
Mind blown.
So, it's like having thistoolkit for personal growth that
we can pull out anytime, notjust when the flowers are
blooming.

Speaker 2 (07:17):
And that's what I love about this it's about
empowering ourselves to takecontrol of our own growth, no
matter what season of life we'rein.

Speaker 1 (07:23):
This has been such an eye-opening conversation.
I don't know about you, but I'mfeeling ready to dust off my
journal and really dive intosome of these prompts.

Speaker 2 (07:31):
Me too.

Speaker 1 (07:32):
And to our listeners.
We'd love to hear whatresonates with you Absolutely.

Speaker 2 (07:36):
Which prompts speak to you?
What are you hoping to bloominto this spring?
Let us know.

Speaker 1 (07:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (07:42):
Because, remember, growth is always better shared.

Speaker 1 (07:45):
So true, and on that note we'll wrap up this deep
dive.
Until next time, keep thosejournals handy and remember your
life's not just a spring.
It's full of springs justwaiting to be explored.
