Speaker 1 (00:45):
But hey, we're here for the prompts.
Absolutely, I think there's alot of potential there for some
real self-discovery.
Exactly, yeah.
What if, like, one question,helps you uncover some childhood
memory that explains your wholecareer path?
Speaker 2 (00:52):
That would be pretty amazing.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Right, or helps you find a core value you didn't
even realize was driving yourdecisions.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
I love that Like little keys to unlock hidden
parts of ourselves.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Yes, and these Lestallian prompts are organized
really well.
They're in five categories Past, present, values, goals and
future.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Ooh, I like that structure.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Me too.
Yeah, it seems like a naturalprogression, right.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Totally.
You start by understanding yourpast, then ground yourself in
the present, then figure outyour values.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
And then use those insights to set goals and think
about your future.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
It's holistic, like a roadmap for personal growth.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
I love that A roadmap .
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Okay, let's unpack this roadmap, starting with the
past prompts.
One that really stood out to mewas what's one childhood memory
that shaped who I am today?
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Hmm, interesting one.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Right.
It goes on to ask what did itteach me and how does it
influence my choices now?
Speaker 2 (01:48):
That's deep.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
It is and it reminded me of this time.
When I was about eight yearsold, my family went to the
Natural History Museum Cool.
I was completely fascinated bythe dinosaur exhibit.
I mean totally mesmerized.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
I can imagine.
It sparked this huge curiosityin me about the natural world
and honestly, I think thatexperience back then really
played a role in my fascinationwith science and research today.
That's a great example of how aseemingly small childhood event
can have such a huge impactlater in life.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Right, and sometimes those experiences shape us
without us even realizing it.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Exactly.
That's why prompts like thisare so powerful.
I think they help us examinethose early influences.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
It's like being a detective, in a way.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
It is Uncovering hidden patterns and connecting
the dots between our past andpresent.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
I love that analogy.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
You know, there's actually a psychological theory
that supports this idea.
It's called the attachmenttheory.
It suggests that our earlyrelationships, especially with
our caregivers, have a bigimpact on how we develop
emotionally, even how we formrelationships as adults.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Wow, so even those past prompts they can tap into
some pretty deep stuff.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
They really can.
It's fascinating.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
Okay, let's move on to the present prompts.
One that jumped out at me waswhat's one thing I love about
myself today?
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Nice.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Right.
And then how can I nurture it,make it shine even brighter?
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Love that.
We could all use a little moreself-love.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Totally.
Sometimes it's easy to forgetto appreciate our awesomeness in
the middle of well life, ohtrue.
This prompt, though.
It reminds us to celebrate ourstrengths.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
It is, and to acknowledge the things that make
us unique and you know,valuable absolutely.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
It's like giving ourselves permission to be proud
of who we are and there's thiswhole concept called self
compassion too.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
It's about being kind to ourselves just like we'd be
kind to a friend.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
I like that.
It's not just about feelinggood, it's about having a
healthy relationship withourselves exactly, and that self
compassion.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
It can really help us grow.
When we recognize andappreciate our strengths, we're
more likely to well use them.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Makes sense.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
It does.
Okay.
I'm curious have you ever usedjournaling prompts for
self-exploration?
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Oh yeah, Definitely there was this one time I was
facing a tough career decision.
I felt completely stuck.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Oh, no yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
So I turned to some journaling prompts.
I was hoping they'd help mefigure out my values and that
makes sense.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
So how'd it go?
Any aha moments.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
I did, I realized that one of my core values is
autonomy, like I really need thefreedom to make my own choices.
That's interesting it was a bigrealization and it helped me
eliminate some career paths thatjust felt too restrictive.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Good for you, thanks.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
And in the end it led me to a path that just felt
much more well me.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
That's amazing.
It's like the prompts helpedyou connect with a part of
yourself that was already there,but maybe a little hidden.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Exactly that's the cool thing about
self-exploration it's not aboutcreating something new, it's
about discovering what's alreadyinside us.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Absolutely Okay.
I'm ready to keep exploringthese listallion prompts.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Let's dive into the values, goals and future
categories me too, but first,how about we grab a quick coffee

We'll be back in a flash soundsgood to me.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Okay, back to the list.
Allian prompts.
We did past, we did presentright now, it's values time

deep stuff.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
This is where things get interesting they do one
prompt here.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
That's really good, is what?
What are three values that arenon-negotiable for me?
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Non-negotiable.
I like that.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Right.
And then it asks how do theyshow up in my daily life?
It makes you think.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
It's like you're drawing a line saying this is
what matters to me, but thenlife happens.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Oh yeah, life throws curveballs and our values get
tested.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Exactly, and that's where the next prompt is so
helpful.
It asks describe a time I hadto make a difficult decision.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Oh, tough one.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Did my actions align with my values?
What did I learn?
It's not about beatingourselves up over the past,
though.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
No, it's about reflecting, seeing how our
values actually guide us, evenwhen things are hard.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
And that's where we grow right.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Exactly.
It's realizing we're notperfect and using those
experiences to like reallyunderstand what matters most.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Okay, onto goals.
Now We've got our values.
We want to put them into action.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Totally.
And these prompts are smart.
They get that.
Setting goals isn't just about,you know, achieving something.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
It's deeper than that .
Speaker 2 (06:13):
It is.
It's about living a life thatfeels you know achieving
something.
It's deeper than that it is.
It's about living a life thatfeels you know real, authentic
to you.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
This prompt makes that connection so clear.
What is one goal I'm workingtowards right now?
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Love that one.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
How does it connect to my values and my overall
vision for my life, not justchecking things off a to-do list
.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
No, it's bigger.
It's creating a life thatreally resonates with like your
core self.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
I think a lot of people struggle with that.
You know, they taste goals thatdon't actually make them happy.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
It happens, but when your goals are based on your
values, that's when thingschange.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
They become more than just tasks.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Exactly.
They're expressions of who youare, what you believe in.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Your values fuel your goals.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
Beautifully said Okay , ready for future.
This is where things getexciting.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Future Time, travel time, but honestly, thinking
about the future is kind ofscary too.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
I get it, it's a big unknown, but these prompts
aren't about, like predictingthe future exactly.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
That's good.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
They're about possibilities, hopes, dreams and
using those to guide us.
And now W.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Okay, that's less intimidating.
What prompt here really getsyou thinking?
Speaker 2 (07:18):
This one.
Imagine my ideal day, 10 yearsfrom now.
10 years.
What am I doing?
Who am I with?

It paints such a vivid picture.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Like a movie in your mind.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Totally, and what's wild is just imagining that
future can change what we dotoday.
Wow, If we have that clearpicture of where we want to be,
we're more likely to makedecisions that you know lead us
there.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
A future, selves sending us messages.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Right, and this next prompt builds on that.
It asks if I could give myfuture self one piece of advice,
what would it be?
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Giving advice to ourselves across time.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Exactly.
It's like tapping into thewisdom we have now and, I don't
know, planting seeds that wehope will grow.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
It's like we become our own mentors.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Yes, and it shows how powerful self-reflection can be
.
Through these prompts, we'renot just exploring past, present
, future.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
We're connecting more deeply with well ourselves.
Exactly so, as we wrap up these, this Self-exploration, it's
not a one-time thing, it's ajourney.
It's about understandingourselves, our strengths, the
things we want to work on, andmaking a life that feels real

dreams can, you know, take off.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
I'm feeling a mix of excitement and, I gotta admit, a
little nervousness.
I hear you the future can bekind of daunting.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
It's a big unknown right it is yeah, but these
prompts they're not about, like,predicting the future with 100%
accuracy no, not at all.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
They're about exploring those possibilities,
tapping into what we hope for,what we dream about, and then
letting those visions guide us,like right now, in the present.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
Okay, that makes me feel a little braver.
So which future prompt herereally stands out to you?
Speaker 2 (09:37):
You know, this one always gets me thinking.
What is one thing I can dotoday to bring me closer to my
ideal future?
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Hmm Interesting.

it's not about some big, hugeaction.

destiny.

It's like we're weaving a tapestry thread by
thread, making somethingbeautiful and unique.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
What a great way to put it.
And speaking of journeys,there's another prompt that
really speaks to me.
It says imagine looking back onyour life from the age of 80.
What stories do you want to beable to tell?
Wow, it makes you think aboutyour life as a whole, Like what
kind of narrative are youcreating?
Speaker 1 (10:21):
It's like we're the authors of our own stories.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
We are.
Do we want a story full ofadventure, purpose, deep
connections or, you know, onewith regrets, missed chances,
unfulfilled potential?
Speaker 1 (10:33):
No, one wants that Right.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
