STOP DREAMING
Yes, I said STOP DREAMING.
You’re doing it wrong.
Ya know how you catch yourself deep into an imaginary story in your head of a completely different life? Except, it’s a life all based on the past. On “What if’s”.
What if I married him? Her? What if I never gained weight? What if I got a different degree? Or never moved? What if I stayed at that job? What if I was still with that person? What if we never had that fight? What if I would have said this?
And, before you know it, you’ve had all these elaborate experiences, adventures, conversations, a different body, friends, job, life...and it’s all in your head. You feel doubt, regret, fear, anxiety, guilt...
You, my friend, are DREAMING WRONG.
I totally caught myself dreaming all wrong the last few days... yup, about all of the above.
That, is not like me. At least not anymore. So, I got curious. I wondered why? Why is my head going there? And then I realized... IT DOESN’T MATTER WHY.
All that matters is I know it is not helpful to get lost in Dreaming Wrong. Simply because it just doesn’t feel good. So, I wrote a lot in my journal... a lot...and I’ve come back to how I’m supposed to dream! In a way that makes me love my life, myself, friends & family, my husband and all the incredible things I know are to come. Dream in a way that feels amazing.
It feels so freeing and so good!
I started dreaming about what I already have and absolutely love. My amazing and freakin’ handsome husband (he looked good today, yum!) my beautiful body, my love for what I do as a life coach and so, so, so much more. .
Then, of course. I got bigger, better, more fun thoughts to dream about. The future and oh man, you guys, my life is and will continue to be incredible! I wish one of you were here for me to hug! It feels so good!
Sit down, organize your thoughts. Examine them. Throw the useless ones away. Let go of those ‘stuck in the past’ dreams and start DREAMING in a way that feels amazing.
Are your dreams stuck in the past? Wishing about the “should’ve, could’ve, would’ve”? Stop it.
Join me, let’s dream amazing dreams together! Tell me one of yours!
Dream on,
Emily Elizabeth
