84: Why I’m Not Planning 2020

Sometimes the end of one year and the start of a new one is a good time to take stock of things. For 2020 I’m not feeling the need.

Highlights

• Why I’m not seeing the need to “plan the new year”
• Prompted by the questions
  • What do you want to leave behind in 2019?
  • What do you want to take forward into 2020?
• January 1st is an arbitrary date
• Saying “yes” and “no” to make deliberate choices
• Forgiveness
• Discarding all of the judgement of
  • Myself
  • Others
  • Judgement about my judgement
• Planning can be a trap
• No “Hell Maybe”
• Is the “reason” really the reason you don’t want to?
• The power in making a choice
• The perspective of “no wrong choice”
• “How to” vs. “Want to”
