Btw – you’re not less successful if you don’t do this.

Hey beloved,

At Coffee Chats and Yoga Mats, we talk a lot about weekly planning and self-reflection because they’re incredibly helpful for creating a more intentional, passionate, and purposeful life.

But… before I go further, I want you to know that this is not a guilt trip if you don’t currently journal daily or plan out your weeks to the smallest detail.*

👉 You are not less of a Christian or less “successful” if you don’t do any of these things. Simply embracing your identity as God’s can help you live intentionally with passion and purpose.

👉 You really don’t have to have a Pinterest-perfect sense of style, dream career, #goal-worthy marriage, trophy-earning parenting, or home design to be worthy of the calling you’ve received.

👉 Regular-ish journaling and weekly planning are just a few of the many tools you have available to help you better manage your time, give your energy to what you actually value, and create a life you love.

* P.S. Btw, I don’t plan out everything to the smallest detail – an exercise in failure, right? – or even journal every single day. And it’s still super helpful for me!
