“My entire life can be summed up in one sentence: Well that didn’t go as planned.” Anonymous.
I know right, who has been reading your journal? Plans are a wonderful idea and can get us started while keeping us focused. Other times a plan needs to be abandoned keep us open to blessings or benefits. How do you tell the difference? Intuition of course!
Balance is the key and using intuition is imperative. I have been fortunate to have a mother who has encouraged me to stay connected to who I am as a person and honor my inner voice. Often she has disagreed with a decision of mine; yet, supported me as a person as I stubbornly carried it out as I ignored both her and my intution. Some of the best things come from not sticking to the plan but sticking to one’s principles.
JOURNAL Prompts
1. Do you trust yourself enough to know when to veer from your carefully made plan?
2. What are your thoughts on intuition?
GUIDANCE
If you are not sure exactly what intuition is you may want to do some research. I encourage you not to do too much. Simply look the word up in the dictionary and speak with three people. Any more information gathering than that and the opinion you make may become clouded by the opinion of others. The goal here is self-reflection.
