Dreaming

I feel shame for dreaming. It might stem from my childhood when I was raised to believe girls needed to be quiet, pleasant, helpful, and good. It might also be because I have many anxieties and fears. When a big dream pops into my head, I quickly judge myself and dismiss it. Thinking thoughts like “Life isn’t easy,” “Be here now,” “It won’t work out,” “It’s embarrassing.” My dreams recently have been around a new career path. For a long time, I have felt that being a marketing professional feels like an old version of myself. And I’m dreaming of so many different possibilities for my future career. Will I write more? Do something creative with my hands? Find a job with an in-person possibility? Should I start a side business? There are so many possibilities! What I’m working on now is dreaming! Allowing myself to go anywhere in my mind. Not limiting my dreaming to “practical” or “reality.”

I dream of connection, fulfillment, joy, reciprocity, giving, loving, and living! The first step in building a life full of joy and true fulfillment starts with a dream. A dream of a new reality. A dream that there is more out there! I’m blocking shame from my dreams. We must envision a new way forward to create abundance in this world. Dream now! Get on Pinterest, write it down, watch a dreamy movie, or read a book for inspiration.  

Dream on,
