50 Daily Journal with Prompts
Imagine starting and ending your day with a sense of clarity and intention. That's the promise we explore as we unpack the blog post by Lestallion, "50 Daily Journal with Prompts," and its transformative power on our daily lives. By categorizing prompts into morning reflections and evening decluttering, along with emotional exploration, personal growth, mindfulness, and gratitude, we reveal how this structured approach can set the tone for a fulfilling day. These prompts aren't just about writing—they're about shaping your emotional landscape, boosting productivity, and reducing stress. Our conversation makes it clear that these small, intentional acts of reflection can have a profound impact.
As we traverse the terrain of self-care and personal growth, we explore how journaling offers a safe space for vulnerability and honest self-dialogue. Evening prompts encourage letting go of negativity and embracing self-care as a ritual rather than a chore. We discuss how acknowledging emotions and identifying limiting beliefs provides a pathway to growth that often remains unexplored. Whether you're a seasoned journaler or new to the practice, our discussion aims to inspire you to grab your pen and start a transformative journey through the art of journaling. Join us, and you might just discover the new prompts that could change your life.

All right, let's unlock the power of
self-reflection.
Ready for a deep dive intodaily journaling with prompts?
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Always ready for a good deep dive.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
Our guide today is a blog post.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
By Lestallion it's called 50 Daily Journal with
Prompts.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
I've heard of that one.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
Yeah, published pretty recently, October 16th of
this year.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Yeah, just the other day.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
What really got me, though, was that it's not just a
list.
They've organized these promptsby their purpose, you know, for
morning reflections, exploringemotions and all that.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Oh, that's helpful.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Totally, because, honestly, sometimes I just stare
at a blank page in my journal.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
I know that feeling.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
So this structure really appealed to me.
What about you?
Do you use prompts forjournaling?
Speaker 2 (00:43):
I do sometimes, but I'm really fascinated by this
idea of categorization, right,like you said, morning and
evening reflections, but thenalso emotional exploration,
personal growth, mindfulness,gratitude.
It's really acknowledging allthese different facets of
journaling and how it can bewell tailored.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
That's what you need, yeah.
Exactly and what you're aiming,aiming for so let's get into
some specifics, maybe startingwith those morning reflections.
That's good.
Two prompts jumped out at me.
The first one was what smallthing can bring joy today?
And then, how do you want tofeel by day's end?
Oh, I like that yeah, they'resimple, almost deceptively so,
(01:22):
but don't you think they canreally set the tone for your day
?
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Absolutely.
They're all aboutintentionality, which is crucial
.
I hope so Well.
We often get caught up in tasksand to-dos.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Well for sure.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
But these prompts.
They're about shaping youremotional landscape how you want
to feel.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
So not just what I'm doing, but my internal state.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Yes, and there's actual research on this.
Starting the day with apositive mindset can impact your
whole day.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Really.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Mm-hmm Productivity stress levels, the whole nine
yards.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
I never thought about it that way.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
It's like you're giving yourself a pep talk, but
focused on feelings, not justaccomplishments.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
That's a great way to put it.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
It's about creating an internal environment that
supports the kind of day youwant to have.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Okay, so we've set the tone for a great day, but
then what about winding down atnight?
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Right Evening reflections.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
There's one that asks what is one thing you want to
leave behind from today?
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Oh, that's a powerful one.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
I thought so too.
Why do you think that is?
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Well, think about it.
We hold on to negativity, oftenwithout even realizing it, and
that can mess with sleep.
It can even spill over into thenext day, oh wow.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
So this prompt encourages a conscious release,
like mentally putting down theday's burdens, Like a mental
decluttering ritual Exactly.
I have to try that tonight.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
And speaking of rituals, there's also one about
self-care, you know.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Oh right, like did I actually do anything for myself
today?
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Exactly Because it's easy to let self-care slip.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
For sure.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
But this reminds us that it doesn't have to be some
big thing.
It's about those smallintentional acts.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
It's the practice that matters, not just the idea.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
I completely agree.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Now there's one category I think we've all been
in, even if we don't like toadmit it.
Which one is that Exploringemotions even the blog itself
kind of acknowledges it can betough.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Yeah, it's a prompt about avoiding a certain feeling
.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Exactly and I thought well, that's pretty relatable.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
It is, and it shows why journaling is so good for us
.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
How so.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
It gives you that safe space, no judgment, to
process those feelings that arehard to deal with, those messy
ones yeah.
And sometimes justacknowledging them is the first
step before they explodeelsewhere.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
So true, it's like you're finally having that
honest conversation withyourself.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Exactly A level of vulnerability that can be hard
to find elsewhere.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
It's really making me want to grab my journal.
All this talk about emotions.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
And we're just getting started.
We haven't even touched onpersonal growth yet.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Right, there's that one about identifying a belief
that might be holding you back.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Ooh, that's a good one.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
I thought so too.
It's almost like journaling istherapy, you know.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
It's a great comparison.
You're exploring those beliefsand patterns and figuring out
which ones don't serve youanymore, challenging them.
So, bad and when it leads topositive change.
That's when it's reallyempowering.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Okay, hold on.
There's another one I have tomention in that category go for
it how do you define success inyour personal growth?
Oh, I love that one me toobecause it's easy to get caught
up in what other people thinkright society's definition of
success but this prompt bringsit back to you what matters to
you exactly.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
It's about recognizing that personal growth
is unique to each individual.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
So true, your milestones are your own.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
And your measures of success too.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
It's about celebrating your progress not
needing anyone else's validation.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Absolutely.
And that brings us tomindfulness and gratitude, which
Lestallion seems prettypassionate about.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
They do, and I can see why there's this one prompt.
What is one small joy youexperience today?
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Ah yes, Shifting that focus to the positive.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Even on the rough days.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Exactly Training yourself to notice the good.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
I love it and it ties in so well with that abundance
mindset they talk about.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Right, it's about seeing what you do have, not
what's missing.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Gratitude is the antidote to scarcity thinking.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
That's it.
It's about appreciating what'salready there, which leads to
contentment.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Wow, we've covered a lot.
50 prompts is a lot to unpack.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
It is.
It's amazing how much depththere is.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
But you know, there's one thing I keep coming back to
.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
What's that?
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Well, all these prompts are about writing right.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
But what about other ways to journal?
Could we explore those a bit?
Speaker 2 (05:28):
You know that's a fantastic question and one I
think deserves its own littledeep dive.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Okay, let's do it.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Let's dive in, you know, when you think about it.
Writing is just one way tojournal.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Right, that's what I was getting at.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
And for some people it might not be the best fit.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
So what are the alternatives?
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Well, if you're a visual person, art journaling
might be your thing.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Art journaling Okay, I love to doodle, but I never
thought of that as journaling.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
It's all about expressing those thoughts and
feelings visually.
You know, stuff that's hard toput into words.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
Hmm Interesting.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
You can use pain collage, anything really.
It's more about letting go andletting the creativity flow.
So it's like giving youremotions a visual voice right,
exactly, and you know, forpeople who connect more with
sound, yeah, audio journalingmight be the way to go whoa hold
on audio journaling.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
What's that?
Think post notes, soundscapes,even composing music like I'm
recording myself talking aboutmy day it can be that simple,
yeah, capturing those thoughtsand feelings in the moment.
Without worrying about perfectsentences.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Exactly.
Some people find that speakingout loud helps them process
things better.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Oh, that makes sense.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Plus, there's something really authentic about
hearing your own voice,reflecting on your experiences.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Like a sonic snapshot of your journey.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
I love that a sonic snapshot, and the great thing is
, you can mix and match theseapproaches.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Oh, you mean like do some writing and some art.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Maybe record a voice note later.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Yeah, or combine them like adding doodles to your
writing.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
It's about finding what works for you.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Exactly building your own personalized toolkit for
self-discovery.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Now, that's a cool way to think about it.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
But you know, with all this talk about the how, yes
, what's your purpose?
Are you processing emotions,seeking self-awareness, or maybe
cultivating gratitude?
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Or all of the above.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Right.
Having that clear purpose makesthe whole practice even more
powerful.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
It's like setting an intention for the journey itself
.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
I like that an intention for the journey.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Okay, but before we go too deep, there's one thing I
keep thinking about.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Shoot.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Well, the blog is all about daily journaling 50
prompts for every day, Right?
Well, the blog is all aboutdaily journaling 50 prompts for
every day.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Right.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
But is that really realistic?
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Honestly, it depends.
Daily journaling can be great,but it's not for everyone, yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
Life gets in the way sometimes.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Exactly.
If you're just starting out, afew times a week might be better
.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
So it's about finding a sustainable rhythm.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
That you actually enjoy, not something you dread.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Makes sense, Like any habit.
Start small and build fromthere.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Exactly Now, as we're wrapping up this deep dive into
journaling, I want to leave youwith something to ponder.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Okay, I'm intrigued.
What is it?
Speaker 2 (08:05):
If your journal could talk, what would it say about
you?
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Whoa, okay, that's deep.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
It makes you think about what you're choosing to
share, right.
What does that reveal aboutyour inner world?
Speaker 1 (08:16):
It's like getting an outside perspective, even if
it's just from your own journal.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Precisely.
It's a powerful prompt toreflect on.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
I'm adding that to my list, for sure.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
So for anyone listening who wants to start
journaling, where should theybegin?
That's a good question.
I'd say pick a prompt thatreally speaks to you, one that
sparks your curiosity.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Don't overthink it, just start writing.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Find a quiet space and see where it takes you.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
And remember there's no right or wrong way to do it.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
It's your practice, make it your own.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Experiment, have fun and, most importantly, be kind
to yourself along the way.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Beautifully said and, as always, keep exploring, keep
questioning, keep diving deep.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
You know it's amazing how much we've unpacked just
from those 50 prompts.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
I know right.
It really shows how muchpotential journaling has.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Lestallion's blog was a great jumping off point,
wouldn't you say?
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Definitely, and what I found really insightful was
how they highlighted the linkbetween journaling and well,
personal growth.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Right, it's not just about venting or recording your
day.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Exactly.
It's a tool for self-discovery,for becoming more aware.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Whether you're writing, drawing, even recording
yourself talking.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
That's the beauty of it.
There's no one right way.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
As long as you approach it with intention and a
curious mind.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Couldn't have said it better myself.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Well, on that note, I think it's time to wrap up this
deep dive.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
I agree it's been a fascinating journey.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
A huge thank you to Lestallion for the inspiration
and to all of you for joining us.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Until next time, keep exploring, keep reflecting and
keep those journals handy.

Speaker 1 (01:01):
That's what you need, yeah.
Exactly and what you're aiming,aiming for so let's get into
some specifics, maybe startingwith those morning reflections.
That's good.
Two prompts jumped out at me.
The first one was what smallthing can bring joy today?
And then, how do you want tofeel by day's end?
Oh, I like that yeah, they'resimple, almost deceptively so,
(01:22):

Absolutely.
They're all aboutintentionality, which is crucial
.
I hope so Well.
We often get caught up in tasksand to-dos.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Well for sure.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
But these prompts.
They're about shaping youremotional landscape how you want
to feel.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
So not just what I'm doing, but my internal state.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Yes, and there's actual research on this.
Starting the day with apositive mindset can impact your
whole day.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Really.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Mm-hmm Productivity stress levels, the whole nine
yards.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
I never thought about it that way.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
It's like you're giving yourself a pep talk, but
focused on feelings, not justaccomplishments.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
That's a great way to put it.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
It's about creating an internal environment that

Speaker 1 (02:04):
Okay, so we've set the tone for a great day, but
then what about winding down atnight?
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Right Evening reflections.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
There's one that asks what is one thing you want to
leave behind from today?
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Oh, that's a powerful one.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
I thought so too.
Why do you think that is?

Well, think about it.
We hold on to negativity, oftenwithout even realizing it, and
that can mess with sleep.
It can even spill over into thenext day, oh wow.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
So this prompt encourages a conscious release,
like mentally putting down theday's burdens, Like a mental
decluttering ritual Exactly.
I have to try that tonight.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
And speaking of rituals, there's also one about
self-care, you know.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Oh right, like did I actually do anything for myself
today?
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Exactly Because it's easy to let self-care slip.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
For sure.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
But this reminds us that it doesn't have to be some
big thing.
It's about those smallintentional acts.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
It's the practice that matters, not just the idea.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
I completely agree.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Now there's one category I think we've all been
in, even if we don't like toadmit it.
Which one is that Exploringemotions even the blog itself
kind of acknowledges it can betough.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Yeah, it's a prompt about avoiding a certain feeling

Exactly and I thought well, that's pretty relatable.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
It is, and it shows why journaling is so good for us
.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
How so.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
It gives you that safe space, no judgment, to
process those feelings that arehard to deal with, those messy
ones yeah.
And sometimes justacknowledging them is the first
step before they explodeelsewhere.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
So true, it's like you're finally having that
honest conversation withyourself.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Exactly A level of vulnerability that can be hard
to find elsewhere.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
It's really making me want to grab my journal.
All this talk about emotions.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
And we're just getting started.
We haven't even touched onpersonal growth yet.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Right, there's that one about identifying a belief
that might be holding you back.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Ooh, that's a good one.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
I thought so too.
It's almost like journaling istherapy, you know.

It's a great comparison.
You're exploring those beliefsand patterns and figuring out
which ones don't serve youanymore, challenging them.
So, bad and when it leads topositive change.

Could we explore those a bit?

recording myself talking aboutmy day it can be that simple,
yeah, capturing those thoughtsand feelings in the moment.
Without worrying about perfectsentences.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Exactly.
Some people find that speakingout loud helps them process
things better.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Oh, that makes sense.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Plus, there's something really authentic about
hearing your own voice,reflecting on your experiences.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Like a sonic snapshot of your journey.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
I love that a sonic snapshot, and the great thing is
, you can mix and match theseapproaches.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Oh, you mean like do some writing and some art.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Maybe record a voice note later.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Yeah, or combine them like adding doodles to your
writing.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
It's about finding what works for you.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Exactly building your own personalized toolkit for
self-discovery.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Now, that's a cool way to think about it.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
But you know, with all this talk about the how, yes
, what's your purpose?
Are you processing emotions,seeking self-awareness, or maybe
cultivating gratitude?
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Or all of the above.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Right.
Having that clear purpose makesthe whole practice even more
powerful.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
It's like setting an intention for the journey itself
.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
I like that an intention for the journey.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Okay, but before we go too deep, there's one thing I
keep thinking about.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Shoot.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Well, the blog is all about daily journaling 50
prompts for every day, Right?
Well, the blog is all aboutdaily journaling 50 prompts for
every day.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Right.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
But is that really realistic?
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Honestly, it depends.
Daily journaling can be great,but it's not for everyone, yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
Life gets in the way sometimes.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Exactly.
If you're just starting out, afew times a week might be better
.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
So it's about finding a sustainable rhythm.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
That you actually enjoy, not something you dread.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Makes sense, Like any habit.
Start small and build fromthere.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Exactly Now, as we're wrapping up this deep dive into
journaling, I want to leave youwith something to ponder.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Okay, I'm intrigued.
What is it?
Speaker 2 (08:05):
If your journal could talk, what would it say about
you?
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Whoa, okay, that's deep.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
It makes you think about what you're choosing to
share, right.
What does that reveal aboutyour inner world?
Speaker 1 (08:16):
It's like getting an outside perspective, even if
it's just from your own journal.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Precisely.
It's a powerful prompt toreflect on.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
I'm adding that to my list, for sure.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
So for anyone listening who wants to start
journaling, where should theybegin?
That's a good question.
I'd say pick a prompt thatreally speaks to you, one that
sparks your curiosity.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Don't overthink it, just start writing.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Find a quiet space and see where it takes you.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
And remember there's no right or wrong way to do it.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
It's your practice, make it your own.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Experiment, have fun and, most importantly, be kind
to yourself along the way.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Beautifully said and, as always, keep exploring, keep
questioning, keep diving deep.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
You know it's amazing how much we've unpacked just
from those 50 prompts.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
I know right.
It really shows how muchpotential journaling has.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Lestallion's blog was a great jumping off point,
wouldn't you say?
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Definitely, and what I found really insightful was
how they highlighted the linkbetween journaling and well,
personal growth.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Right, it's not just about venting or recording your
day.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Exactly.
It's a tool for self-discovery,for becoming more aware.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Whether you're writing, drawing, even recording
yourself talking.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
That's the beauty of it.
There's no one right way.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
As long as you approach it with intention and a
curious mind.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Couldn't have said it better myself.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Well, on that note, I think it's time to wrap up this
deep dive.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
I agree it's been a fascinating journey.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
A huge thank you to Lestallion for the inspiration
and to all of you for joining us.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Until next time, keep exploring, keep reflecting and
keep those journals handy.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Happy journaling everyone.
