Over the next few weeks sprinkled between interviews and episodes, I‘m going to do an episode about each step of the FLOW Planning Process — center, vision, decide, schedule, and follow through. In this episode, I talk about why getting centered is the most critical first step to planning. I also share the seven ways I recommend to get centered, and what it looks like in practice.
Planning is just making choices in advance. Choices made from “centered” energy are different from choices made from fear, sadness, frustration. Part of the advantage of making choices in advance is that we have the time and space to get centered.
So step 1 of the FLOW planning process is getting centered.
This looks different when you are sitting down to plan a season, month, week or day, or a home project, product launch, website project, offerings, a week of diners, set of habits, a family trip.

That said, I always start with breath.
If I’m about to make some big life changes, I might have a mini breathing session.
If I’m planning reconfirming my plan for the day, one deep breath might do.
