Episode 138 - Change of Plans - a podcast by Rebecca Clark

You may be the spontaneous type. Always available to go try out something new and looking forward to the interruption.

This isn’t me. I’m a planner. I love to plan and feel like I’m moving forward toward my aspirations.

Yet, even with the greatest of plans things don’t go the way I thought they would.

In fact, most of life involves interruptions to plans.

Does this mean you shouldn’t plan? No. It’s still important. Planning requires using the focused, decision-making part of the brain.

But, just as important as planning may be the ability to know when to step away from the plan.

Be open to the opportunities that disrupt the plan. And, notice what you can experience and learn in these moments.

If you are spontaneous, you may benefit from more planning practice.

If you aren't, this can be a time for allowing more spontaneity. Allowing changes of plans can often result in further insights and experiences that… help you find and offer up your best work.
