They jump right in with aprompt about a relationship that
has ended.

Ooh, yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
That can be such a turning point.
Speaker 2 (04:10):

A little cheesy, but not trueright true, true, okay, last

Yeah, and remind yourself that growth it's a
journey, not a destination.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Right, there will be ups, there will be downs.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
But it's embracing the whole process.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Exactly.
That's how we discover who weare and what we're capable of.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Love it.
Okay, so we've talked aboutLestallion's five themes, the
power of these prompts, but howdo we actually use them?
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Great question, and that's what we're going to get
into in the next part of ourdeep dive.
Sounds good, use them.
Great question and that's whatwe're going to get into in the
next part of our deep dive.
Sounds good.
We'll unpack specific prompt,give some practical tips and
really explore how to make thiswhole self-reflection thing
really work for you.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
I can't wait.
But before we jump ahead, let'stake a moment to just like
absorb what we've talked aboutso far.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Yeah, take a breath, think about which theme
resonated with you.
Is there an area of your lifewhere you're feeling drawn to
reflect, you know, set someintentions or maybe even to
celebrate your progress?
Speaker 1 (06:17):
All right.
So we're back diving deeperinto these Lestallion Journal
prompts and, you know, I thinkit's time to get a little more
practical.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Yeah, let's, let's do it.
I actually jotted down a fewthat really stood out to me
while we were talking oh nice,let's do it.
I actually jotted down a fewthat really stood out to me
while we were talking oh nice,let's start with that first
theme, the reflecting onpersonal growth.
One.
Ok, there's this one.
It asks Think about one area ofyour life where you've grown
the most in the past year.
What changes have you noticedand how has this growth impacted
you?
Speaker 1 (06:45):
I like that one.
It's, it's broad right.
It can be anything careerrelationships, you know whatever
.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Yeah, it's like a big picture view of the last year.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Exactly.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
And then it asks how that growth has impacted you.
That's where it getsinteresting, totally.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Because it's all connected right, Like growth in
one area can affect other partsof your life.
It's like a domino effect.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Right Like, let's say , you've been working on your
communication skills.
You become more assertive andmaybe that makes you more
confident in your relationshipstoo.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Oh yeah, I see that.
Okay, let's move on to the nexttheme Setting intentions for
future growth.
This one, this one I like.
Think about a new habit youwant to form.
How will this habit contributeto your overall growth and what
steps will you take to build it?
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Actionable, right?
Yes, it's about habits.
Habits, yeah, we all know howpowerful they can be.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
they really can, but I like how this prompt it makes
you think about the purpose ofthe habit you know yeah how it
connects to your overall growthit's not just another thing on
your to-do list exactly so.
For example, if you want tostart meditating every day, it's
helpful to think about why.
Like is it?
To reduce stress, improve focus.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Yeah, that why is important, keeps you motivated.
And then the prompt goes evenfurther.
It asks about the steps you'lltake to build that habit.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Okay, so it's like a plan, a roadmap.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Okay, theme three learning from challenges.
This one, I think a lot ofpeople will relate to Write
about a time when you feltdiscouraged but persevered.
How did you pick yourself backup and what growth came from
that experience.
I mean, we all face challenges,right?
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Oh, absolutely.
This prompt is about resilience.
We all have those moments wherewe want to give up, but it's
about how we push through.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Yeah, and this prompt .
It makes you think about a timeyou did just that.
You know you faced somethingtough, but you didn't give up.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
And then it asks what did you learn from that?
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Right, because sometimes those challenges
they're the biggest teachers.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
They really are.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Moving on to reflecting on relationships and
growth, this one got me thinking.
Think about a relationship thathas helped you grow.
What did you learn from thisperson, and how has it impacted
who you are today?
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Relationships are so powerful, aren't they?
Speaker 1 (08:52):
They really are.
This prompt is aboutacknowledging the people who
have shaped us, inspired us.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
And it doesn't have to be romantic.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
No, it could be anyone a mentor, a friend, a
family member.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Even someone you haven't known for very long.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Yeah, it's about recognizing that impact they've
had on us.
Okay, last theme, celebratingyour journey.
I always love this part.
There's a prompt here that saysto write a letter to your
future self congratulating themon how much they've grown.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
That's a nice one.
It's like a little self-loveboost.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
It is, and sometimes we need that right.
It's so easy to get caught upin the day-to-day and forget to
appreciate how far we've come.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
It's about focusing on the positive, what we have
accomplished.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Exactly and this prompt.
It's about celebrating all ofthat.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
The big wins and the small wins.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Yes, and recognizing that growth it's a journey.
It never really ends.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
There's always more to learn more to experience, and
that's the beauty of it, right,Okay, ready for more prompts.
I'm really interested in theones that you know kind of
challenges to think differently.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Yeah, me too.
Let's see when were we Learningfrom challenges?
Okay, this one is prettyrelevant.
I think Right about a time whenyou had to adapt to a
significant change.
What challenges did you faceand how did you navigate them?
I mean, change is a part oflife, right it?
Speaker 2 (10:17):
is a big part, and this prompt is all about how we
deal with it.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Yeah, and sometimes it's good to look back and see
like, wow, I got through that,you know it reminds us that
we're stronger than we think.
Exactly.
Okay, let's jump to reflectingon relationships and growth.
This one might be a littletougher.
Think about a relationship thathas ended.
How did this experiencecontribute to your personal
(10:44):
development and what lessons didyou carry forward?
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Endings are never easy, they're not, but they can
teach us a lot.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
This prompt.
It's about looking for thegrowth in that experience, Like
what did you learn aboutyourself, your needs, your
boundaries, maybe even whatyou're looking for in future
relationships?
Speaker 1 (10:57):
It's about finding those lessons.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
Exactly.
Sometimes those relationships,even though they end, they
change us for the better.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Okay, Last theme celebrating your journey.
Always a good one.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Love this theme.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
There's this prompt that says to make a growth
gratitude list for the past year.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Gratitude so important.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
It is.
Instead of focusing on what'smissing, it's about appreciating
what we have.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Right and especially in terms of our growth.
You know.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
It's like give yourself a high five.
Speaker 2 (11:23):

It asks Think about one area ofyour life where you've grown
the most in the past year.

one area can affect other partsof your life.
It's like a domino effect.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Right Like, let's say , you've been working on your
communication skills.
You become more assertive andmaybe that makes you more
confident in your relationshipstoo.
Speaker 1 (07:10):

future growth.

steps will you take to build it?
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Actionable, right?
Yes, it's about habits.
Habits, yeah, we all know howpowerful they can be.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
they really can, but I like how this prompt it makes
you think about the purpose ofthe habit you know yeah how it
connects to your overall growthit's not just another thing on
your to-do list exactly so.
For example, if you want tostart meditating every day, it's
helpful to think about why.

Right, because sometimes those challenges
they're the biggest teachers.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
They really are.
Speaker 1 (08:38):

growth, this one got me thinking.
Think about a relationship thathas helped you grow.

family member.

appreciate how far we've come.

accomplished.
