On this episode of The Karen Kenney Show, I talk about the idea of "hatching a plan" as we move into the New Year.I discuss why it’s sometimes important to keep your plans kind of a secret… and how we only want to share those tender ideas with people who will nurture and support them, rather than criticize or crush them.When making new plans, I also suggest slowing down and inviting your Inner Teacher or intuition into the process, using practices like prayer, contemplation, and meditation to quiet your mind first.This helps the plan to be more aligned with our deeper purpose and values, rather than being driven by our ego, attachment to external outcomes, or our fears.I also share how writing down your goals and plans can be a powerful tool, as studies show that people who write down their goals are 42% more likely to achieve them!These handwritten goals not only serve as a "love letter to your future self" - a tangible record of your intentions, progress, and dreams…It’s also a way to nurture what matters to you -  and by doing so, bringing forth something new that can serve both you and the world around you!KEY POINTS:•​ Hatch​ing ​Plans ​"In ​Secret​"•​ Invite ​Divine ​Guidance• Discipline ​Leads to ​Freedom•​ Writing ​Goals Down ​Makes a Difference​• ​Align Your Actions with Purpose•​ Celebrate​ Your Accomplishments•​ Serving Yourself and the World• The Nest - Group Mentoring Program BIO:Karen Kenney is a certified Spiritual Mentor, Writer, Integrative Change Worker, Coach and Hypnotist.
