This has me reflecting on how often we mistake complexity for progress.
For months, I’ve been carrying around an idea for a
I knew I wanted it to exist because I genuinely love creating physical things, assembling them by hand, wrapping them up, and sending little surprises out into the world. But every time I sat down to think about it, I found myself getting stuck in the details.
—What would I include?
—How would I structure it?
—What would the experience be like?
—How would the logistics work?
The more I thought about it, the more complicated it became. And because it felt complicated, I kept pushing it further into the future.
Then recently I realized that some of the ideas I was holding onto were actually making it harder than it needed to be. Once I gave myself permission to simplify the concept... the pressure lifted... my creativity returned... and instead of feeling overwhelmed by all the things I hadn’t figured out yet, I felt excited to begin.
This reminded me that sometimes our worries aren’t telling us we’re on the wrong path. Sometimes they’re simply pointing to an adjustment that needs to be made.
Maybe there are areas of our lives where we don’t need more effort, more planning, or more certainty.
Maybe we just need to make things a little simpler.
I’m not quite ready to launch yet, but if you’d like to follow along behind the scenes, I’ve started sharing the journey over at Reflective Tarot Mail Club. My hope is to launch sometime in September.
What in your life might become easier if you gave yourself permission to simplify it?
