When Plans Change: Allowing Flexibility in Dreams and Daily Life

The Creative Calm Podcast

In this episode, let's dive into the often-unexpected journey of when plans change and how we can honor our bodies, minds, and need for rest without feeling guilty. I share my personal struggle with making a significant decision all summer—one that called for pausing my marathon training due to an injury. I'll walk you through my internal conflict, the mental chatter of disappointment and commitment, and how a simple question, "Why can't plans change?" brought clarity and relief.

Through this story, I hope to convey the importance of listening to our bodies and allowing the luxury of changing our plans. Whether it’s a health issue, a personal goal, or a life dream, we often feel the pressure to push through. But sometimes, pushing isn't the answer. Sometimes, rest and reassessment are the ultimate forms of self-care. I'll encourage you to find those necessary pockets of rest, embrace the flexibility to change plans, and prioritize your overall well-being.

Join me as we explore how rest and flexibility not only lead to better health but also pave the way for future success and fulfillment. Let's discover the magic of rest, creativity, and play together.

xoxo, Denise Christenson Rae
