Needs. Desires. Wants. Yoga taught me to listen not only to what my body needs, but also what my spirit needs. My soul in other people's words. But I didn't have a great way of connecting with that daily. I followed a lot of bloggers and thought leaders on how to get better tuned into what you want and need. And especially after I had a period of burn out in 2013, I really needed to step back and learn what I needed and how. I fiddled about with some great journal prompts and read amazing books by Brene Brown and Andrea Owen and others. It took me a few years to get to a point where I could figure out how to listen to what I needed. After tons of reading and thinking and tweeting and instagramming, I found the Desire Map and the Firestarter sessions. Working those systems helped me learn to put what I wanted first, and understand that everything else would fall into place. For my friends who've been through recovery, it was a similar process to the idea of putting your recovery first. I have a friend who once said (of her own sobriety) whatever you put before your sobriety you will lose (job, relationship, etc.). Because YOU are the most important thing in your priority list. But that's a tall order to carry out on the day to day. Enter the Desire Map Planner. It made me constantly put my well being ahead of my to do list. Most yogis know the Desire Map & Danielle LaPorte through her truthbombs - they are all over yoga studios and for good reason: they are effective at snapping your attention straight to what matters: YOU. The Desire Map Planner is similar. And now its really pretty. The team over at the Desire Map Planners have updated the planner. It comes in daily (for me! and folks like me who are slightly type A), weekly and all sorts of other versions. This planner puts your desires on the map, and helps you plan your days and weeks according to how you most want to feel. The way it should be. Where most day planner systems are straight dates and to do’s, this planner is so much more… Based on the wildly popular book and workbook by Danielle LaPorte, The Desire Map, this planner system incorporates your soul and your to-do list; your gratitude and your goals; your deepest desires with your day-to-day. The 2017 planner comes with two versions, the Daily and Weekly edition, for the any type of planner person: The DAILY planner for the highly scheduled, detailed thinkers, and awesome A-types who love keeping track of all the big and little things. This planner takes you through the year day by day, with unique soul prompts to limber up your mind before you write, scheduling space, #Truthbombs, a Stop Doing list (because saying no is revolutionary) and a super condensed list called 3 Things so you can get your most important to-dos done. The WEEKLY planner is for the big dreamers, Creatives, and entrepreneurs — the planner-types who want a bird’s eye view of their week. Sprinkled with prompts for positive declarations and #Truthbombs, the weekly spread also has space for your Core Desired Feelings, daily to-do’s, and a list of 3 Things so you can get your most important to-dos done. This planner also has an End of Week Check-in with unique Soul Prompts from Danielle and space for reflecting on life as you move through it week by week. When you’re clear on how you want to feel, decisions come to you more easily, you’ll know when to say “No” and when to say “Hell, YES!” And then you can put it in writing. That’s what this planner does for me. You can buy yours today and start planning the life you’ve always wanted. Click here to see all the options. I know mine will be this one:
