Take the pressure off by writing down a few plans in pencil. Make room to dream while also creating space for change. There is nothing wrong with desiring for a goal or plan to feel concrete and real, but at the same time, you are free to consider: that if something is started to feel like a lot of pressure, could this be something you keep on the list but know it’s okay if it changes later? This is not a way of ignoring all commitments but instead, recognizing that adaptability and flexibility can be a part of meaningful progress too.
Questions to consider:
-How can I celebrate small victories along the way, even if my plans change?
-Are there any commitments that I can prioritize differently to reduce pressure?
-Where in my life can I put up a lot of different ideas and explore options openly?
Even if it’s nothing more than a mood-board where you allow yourself to move things around or a journal where you brainstorm freely, allowing yourself to have some free space is a way to create a little breathing room.
