Full Transcript: TUT - Episode #29 - When things don't go according to plan...

Welcome to the Transformer Unicorn Tales. I'm Katie, your ever transforming host. This is a podcast about awesome transformations, food for thought, and occasionally unicorns. I am so excited that you're here listening to this. Let's get started.

Hello and welcome to a new episode of the podcast. It's a really short one because maybe you can already hear, but I am pretty sick and I am just now getting better. So I have my voice back a little bit at least. So I thought I would record just a really short episode because the last one was now two weeks ago.

And I was all like, you know, this year I planned it all out. Every Tuesday there will be a new episode. It's going to be awesome and everything like that. And this episode is more like just a reminder that no matter how much you plan, no matter how much you like think ahead, there are always things that you cannot account for.

Even if you plan for different scenarios or whatever, even if you're planning off breaks, you know, shit happens. So I got like, it was seriously the day that I was like, okay, I'm ready to get back to work and it's time to get things done, stuff like that. I wrote down my plans for the week. I actually started to work. So I was like, yes, we're ready.

And then the next morning I woke up and I just felt terrible. Like everything was like just nope, nope, nope, nope, nope. And now it's like a week and a half later, almost two weeks later. And I'm feeling better. And I just wanted to record a short episode to remind everyone that sometimes things just happen that you cannot account for.

And what I wanted to share is that because I now have the 12th week plan, I will link to it in the description. I don't feel like I need to, or like I'm behind, or that I need to push more or, oh no, now everything will go bad because I feel like I have a 12-week plan and next week, like this week is now then week three. And I'm like, you know, there's still enough time to like, to catch up, to do the things that I want to do within this timeframe.

Because before it was like, you know, you have the whole year, you have months and months, so like do things. And then you would just like move things further. But then you would, in the back of your mind, think, you know, I'm kind of behind and I don't know where I am now, and I can move everything, right?

So, I don't know, I just feel more calm because of that, because I know that there is a plan and even though I cannot account for everything. Yeah, I just, I just have to pick it up when I'm feeling good enough again. And also it helps me a lot with realizing when I can and when I cannot do things.

So when I got sick, I was like, you know, I just, there's no way that anything logical or good or whatever will come out of me right now. So I just took time to rest. And then I started to feel better and I was like, you know, today I think I can do at least like one email. Today I can do one Instagram post. Today I can just do one little thing and then rest.

And yeah, now I'm like, I can just record this short episode. And it's totally fine because I know that I feel good enough for this. And then it's not like, you know, just like give up and go like, "Oh shit, nothing is going to go into plan. I don't know what to do now." It's just I look at the things that I want to do and then see how much can I do right now of those things. And take it step by step.

And I know like, you know, there's probably a period of in time when you can think, you know, you were just like, "Tomorrow is a deadline." And you just wrote like, I don't know, 3,000 word essay, right? So you know that you can do that. You know you have that power. But there is a moment when you have to realize, okay, do I also have the power to just put it all aside and be like, "Not now." Not now. But later, I will go for it. I know I will go for it.

Yeah, so I just wanted to share a little reminder that things don't always go according to plan. And it's funny because I had to cancel some stuff. And the funny thing is most people were actually like, "You know, I also don't feel so good. You know, I actually had an injury. You know, I actually... This is happening in my life. So maybe that's you too."

Right now you're like, "Yeah, I had all of these plans?" And it's not going according to the plan. Yeah, it's just a sweer reminder that you're not alone in that and it's okay. You're gonna be fine. Just keep going. Whatever keep going means right now to you. And if that's more blankets, more tea, that's totally fine. There is another day where you can do the 3,000 words in one go. And it will be totally fine.

Okay, that's it for today because I'm done. I feel like my energy is like, "Nope." Yeah, I feel hopefully be back next week. And actually, what I wanted to share, what I was like, I have to record an episode, is because next week on Monday I'm hosting a live free webinar. It is free if you're there live because you pay with your energy and your attention. That's my idea.

And it's about everything you need to do to host your first online yoga class. So I cover everything about technical things, how to get students, social media. We will touch up on everything so that you can start teaching online. If it's something that you would be interested in, you can sign up. You can sign up, I will put the link also down below in the description. And I will hope to see you there and I will hope to have a better voice and everything by then.

By the way, tiny note, I also wanted to share that. I already drafted everything at the end of last year. So it's all ready to go. It's just now that I need to be ready to go. And then we will be all good to go. So I hope to see you there live. And I think that's it done for now. And I think you're awesome. Thank you so much for listening. Bye-bye. [Music]
