I’m a big believer in paying attention to your dreams. Both the daytime dreams when you’re awake, and the ones that dance through your mind as you sleep. Dreams, I believe, are often postcards from your future. They clue us in to what’s truly on our hearts, the emotions we’re yearning to feel, and what we imagine will get us to that place.
One of the exercises I like to do with clients is have them write themselves a postcard from their future. Then, we compare it to where they are right now and the postcards from their past. Inevitably, when we start viewing the postcards from their future, their dreams become more real and exciting. Then, we work on what they actually need to do to make these dreams become their reality.
What always surprises me is how often people are wary of sending themselves postcards. Or, how many of the postcards they send are blurry and unfocused. As if their dreams are too lofty to dream, or very vague and not worth sharpening. It’s really hard to work toward the future you seek when you can’t articulate it physically or emotionally.
Dreaming bigger for yourself is what I want for everyone. As I’ve mentioned before, this isn’t about unleashing any sort of wild ambition or trying to “win” anything in particular. It’s about allowing yourself to live happily, in congruence with your values, so you can enjoy your life.
Everyone deserves to live with ease and joy. Achieving this requires self-awareness, the willingness to look at your postcards and be honest with yourself about what you’re seeking. Then, you must decide when you’re ready to take action toward them and start doing so. Our postcards aren’t meant to be torturous, they’re intended to encourage and ignite. Don’t ever doubt the dreams on your heart and how far they can take you.
I hope you read the postcards your future self is sending you and get excited. It’s all there for you when you trust yourself.
WORKSHOP
How to Love the Season of Love: Hallmark kitch and forced overtures is not my idea of a happy holiday. However, I do love a little extra affection and a proper reason to pause for more hugs. The season of love can be embraced by all, here’s how I recommend doing it so it works for you.
☀️☀️☀️ New Moon Today and the Lunar New Year tomorrow! We are still on a roller coaster with all the recent astrological shifts. At this time I recommend doing some extra cleaning to clear space for new energies as we shift into the Year of the Dragon. Also, get excited for what’s to come!
