If you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing it is stupid, unless it happens to chat with another fish and realizes fish aren’t great at climbing trees, and that’s okay, there’s plenty of ocean.

We are just a day past the first quarter moon; as the moon waxes to full, we can wax with intention and self-compassion under the moon’s ever-increasing light.

[We] breathe, we pulse, we regenerate. Our hearts beat, our minds create, our souls ingest. Thirty-seven seconds well used is a lifetime.
Mr. Magorium
Braveheart, allow this to be your ๐ invitation to be gentle with yourself, in your enoughness, as you wax and regenerate.
- To reframe and explore, and redirect your attention regarding your experience, worth and capacity.
- To free yourself from default habits (that are compromising your well-being and living more of what matters most to you).
Thirty-seconds can serve as a micro-session of self-care: focusing on your breath, jotting notes or collaging bits to a journal page, walking outdoors to take in fresh air, savor a sky meditationโor whatever works for you as you tend to your well-being.
Right brain planning is a practice that can help us chronicle our thresholds and puzzle out our feelings and questions.
- It allows our journals ๐จ๐๐โจ (expression & visual notes) to be our “planners” (host the framework, starting points and dated chronicles of living our desires).
- Right brain planning resources serve as prompts and ๐ invitations to hold space with our desires, to compile notes about our dreams โฆ but more importantly, to self-compassionately release our expectations, self-judgment and preconceived ideas about โplanningโ and simply โ๏ธ๐๐๐ experiment and โค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ express ourselves.
Thank you kindly for your presence here.
I appreciate your interest and support.
~love & good wishes~

Right Brain Planner is the result of personal research, professional experience and intentional investments of curiosity, time and energy that began in 2007. I began to document my right brain planning process in 2008 via a WordPress blog; I started publishing journal-planning prompts and template pages in 2012.
