2024 Right Brain Planner® Annual Kit | Ko-fi | blog | resources
Sometimes we just need to play with colour. It’s creativity at its core. I often do this when I am stuck and feeling like I don’t know how to proceed.

🪄💭 Imaginary worlds have become the scaffolding of everything I envision for my Kaleidoscope Perspectives (the theme of the 2024 Annual Kit) — because everything 🌱🧮🎐🗝️🔮exists because of 🌐 imagination, Braveheart. 🩷
- And because my own imaginary worlds were my safe space during the most heartbreaking 💔 times of my life.
- I found refuge and peace on the pages of my journal-planners — and in the creative 📚 💻🖥️ communities I belong to.
- Together we are stronger, Braveheart.
I play until I’m calm

It is important to experiment with facilitates our expression (and a sense of self, safety and empowerment); contemplative photography, trial and error technique “lessons,” messy pages, over-writing (writing over and over in the same section of the page) — all examples of expression, and ways to foster a sense of self, safety and empowerment.
Life as Art: repeated expression and application of self-compassion, a skill set and imagination.
It is an ongoing and evolving process — in spite of the limits and detours we encounter — and defined by our micro-choices onward.
Identifying our desires and challenges via creative chronicles sustains us — as well as consoles us, and fosters our ongoingness and capacity.
What does all of this have to do with planning?
Chronicling the details of our days is a way of understanding ourselves + mapping our desires. Tracking (and reviewing) our thoughts and routine activities reveals our beliefs and values — and helps us to discover our pace and rhythms.
Showing up for ourselves on the page along with setting aside time and space on a regular basis for both tangible and intangible processing is how we come to identify our desires + get clarity.
- Everything is an opportunity. Everything we have lived and loved, questioned and lost is a part of who we are.
And, Braveheart, there is enough time and space and energy for our dreams and desires, wishes and want-to’s (even when we doubt that enoughness).
Our dreams take time. Without some type of visual chronicle to serve as a “map” — as well as a reminder and directive — the timelines of our desires and experiences become jumbled. What matters most becomes forgotten and ignored.
Together we are stronger, Braveheart.
