In my last blog post, I discussed the concept of turning 21 again (if you need clarification on what I’m talking about, please go back and read that post). However, now that I am in the midst of beginning this new Journey of becoming 21 again, I find myself really connecting with a quote: “Stick with the plan, not the mood.” Stick to the plan, not the mood refers to the idea of following your set of goals, regardless of your fluctuating emotions or circumstances. It emphasizes the importance of discipline, consistency, and commitment over-reliance on feelings or temporary states of mind. This concept is important to me because it’s something that I truly do relate to Because no matter how I felt throughout the years my goals have always stayed the same and unaccomplished.
This realization brought me to a space where now I’m able to sit in silence and stillness and really think of this plan I’m supposed to be adhering to. Like I said before my goals have always been the same yet unaccomplished and I can blame my emotional state for this because I do let my feelings sway my decisions in a moment. Well, all that stops now here and today. This post wasn’t planned but it’s something that I’m dealing with in real time so I wanted to share how I am going about this new journey of turning 21 again.
The first task is to sit down with paper and pen And write all your goals and desires.
Try to think from a position of being 89 years old. What are some of the goals and desires that you would be devastated that you didn’t accomplish by that age then write it down. This is how you get your plan. Remember it’s okay for your plan to change. It’s okay for you to add things and take them out whenever you see fit. The most important thing is that you have a plan.
The tricky part is sticking to the plan despite your mood. We will cover this in a different post but for now, define your plan. Take a week. Think about your favorite childhood activities. Think about anything and everything that makes you light up. Write down your passions interest and concerns. Ponder them and then make a concrete plan. This should be physical. This can be done by a vision board, writing it down on a sticky note, or having a printed document any way that you see fit so that it’s easily available at any time of the day.
