I’m perched on the couch, a chilled draft illuminating my bones as I gaze upon a hint of sunlight this quiet morning. There’s a soft beaconing to trust, and maybe let go of any worry worshipping I’ve been doing lately.
December is infiltrated with deep work, planning, and more planning. Oh, and did you plan out the entire 2025 yet?
I’ve become a devotee to structure this past year because honestly, it’s given me more freedom than I’ve ever known; however, this is not a delivery on why you need to logically prepare and know everything for the upcoming calendar year.
I want to offer you a different message on open planning.
A concept I’ve crafted for humans that partake in balance. A harmonious understanding of making plans, but also letting plans unravel if that’s the divinity of their calling.
I’ve never done annual planning until this past week, after being extremely loosey-goosey when it comes to futuristic preparation.
The hands that hold me through looking ahead while also knowing that this vision is not by any means cemented is ~beyond~ liberating.
Can you allow yourself to use this time to reflect, gain data, and go in so that you can create action that feels the most nutritive?
I find that scooping up the collective energy and intent to take action without insulated reflection leaves you feeling cold.
Your warmth for planning comes from the sweaters, scarves, and mittens of information that’s been given to you in 2024.
This is your invitation to do the rebellious, outrageous act of temporarily muting so that you can speak about what you are actualizing at a later date & time.
Creating future data just for the illusionary satisfaction of “doing” will create more dissonance for a new year that asks for an initiation of a pause.
I’ve been on my knees with many pauses this past year (let alone the past few months), and I’ve had to come to terms with delays and wild turns that were not expected half a year ago. No prior planning could have numerically predicted what this current existence had in store for me.
Alas, open planning gives you the best of both worlds: looking at current finances, dreams, bucket lists, visions, and to-dos and creating plans for that while also giving them space without expectation.
Planning without attachment to the outcome ~ a soft landing pad.
What if you diligently held yourself with planning (for mental ease) while also relieving the spiritual pressure of needing it to all work out in this one capacity or way?
I find that planning is tremendously soothing for the brain, it can also hold us back and create limitations for the way things need to be.
May we unfold with valiant action and serendipity.
I hope we find a serene in-between even if shit hits the fan and no amount of planning could have been our savior for what’s next.
Plan or no plan, may we muster the strength to be the guardians of our hearts and give ourselves compassion for the past, present, and future decisions we cultivate.
2025 status: planned, but truly unknown.
