When Knowing Dates is Really Important with Mia

“I know in advance what my body and soul need in order for me to call it a summer that feels just how I want summer to feel.” – Mia MoranWe think summer will take care of itself. It’s a go with the flow time, a less structured time, a different time — and it really needs a plan. Your summer plan needs to honor the vibe of the season and keep you connected to the things you want in this season. I’m going to talk to you about Anchoring, but we’re not going to jump into it right away. So often when I see people feeling overwhelmed or struggling with planning, it’s because they’re skipping the first steps in the process: Centering, Visioning, Deciding. Anchoring is when we make space for the things that really matter. It’s the part when we actually put things on our calendar. One way to anchor for summer is to start with some key dates. Some things I’m starting with:Vacation time (don’t forget to add things you need to do to prepare or re-enter)Business events or launchesStart and end of summer dates (these might be different for different people in your family)Key family events — graduations, celebrations, appointmentsFlexible space for things you want to happenAnd then there is the restorative summery part … the reading more, the gardening, the moving your body differently, the relaxing. We plan for that too.
