Often, if you are like me, we can put our dreams on the "shelf". Have you ever said - I just have to do this first... or thought - oh my dream is too big - its not for me at the moment ... and then the next thing you are head over heels with "life" and your dream gets packed away on a shelf and in the "too hard" category.
Now heres a thought. What if. What if you begin to familiarise yourself to your dream. What does your dream looked like. and started to experience a tiny aspect of the dream to keep your dream alive. What does this look like?
Lets take an example: A simple but blissful dream- you have a dream for a day to yourself - where you can catch up on sleep. Breaking down the dream and familiarising yourself to the dream may look like clearing 15 minutes in your day for a power nap - including it in your schedule (if you have children - booking someone just to oversee them so that you can have guarded time for a rest).
Another example: Surrounding yourself in nature and being one with the moment - this may mean simply researching where you would like to go, Making that beverage that you will take with you and visualising what it would be like to be at that location whilst you enjoy the beverage at a location that is similar - within your ability to do so.
What can you do today that will get you closer to living out your dream day?
What did I do to feel closer to my dream day? My dream is to be permanently living beside the coast as I am currently living in the Suburbs of Sydney at least 2 hours away from the coast. So to familiarise myself with my dream of living on the coast, I booked accomodation at a beach side location and put myself in the environment- going for a walk along the beach front... a simple action but definately brought a smile to my day.
What actions that you have taken to make your dream day more familiar to you?
