On Fridays I do my Dream Status Report which is a series of prompts I use every week to help me have more clarity, momentum and groundedness on my path. I do my reports on the printable journaling sheet.
I am really appreciating sinking into my Year of Hope project.
I am filling a large (9"x11") daily planner with hope. My commitment is to show up and fill a day a day and every day this can look different.
I expect how I do this will change a lot over the course of the year.
At first it felt amazing, I really loved having this space to be with myself, to physically see the pages start to fill up, to see all of the empty pages as my commitment to have this time with myself, to help orient myself more towards hope and it's allies like optimism, trust and believing in myself.
By the middle of the week it was starting to feel UGH.
I know I have been teaching this a long time, it's still so unpleasant when it happens to me, lol
But setting out to work on a specific intention WILL call in it's opposite.
That's just how it works.
You need to work through your hopelessness to make more space for hope.
And the stucks were helpful this week.
Together they gave me what I think is a really helpful message: I need a plan.
I mean, I have a plan, but it's like.... I need a PLANNIER plan, lol.
I need more structure.
I think my relationship with myself, my work, and my life is changing and so the type of structure that is supportive right now is changing and.... I don't know what it is!
So I am experimenting.
I am thinking back to years when I was SUPER "planny" in January and then couldn't keep up with my plans by April and felt like I was failing.
I am thinking back to years when I planned very loosely and then always felt like I was a little lost.
Like - my plans SUPPORT my dreams.
I need the right support.
I don't know what the right support is for me, for my dreams, at this stage of life.
So instead of feeling overwhelmed by that, I am working on getting curious and exploring.
