DOES ANY OF THIS SOUND FAMILIAR?
- You're a high achiever and you know how to get things done but lately you've been feeling stuck and lost and not sure how to get out of this "rut".
- Your days have all started to run together. You wake up, slog through your day and fall asleep exhausted only to turn around and do the same thing all over again like a never ending groundhog day.
- Your weekends are filled with catch up activities that you don't have time for the rest of the week.
- Vacations go by way too fast--and any rest you get is quickly drained when you go back into work mode.
- You secretly pray for a "staycation" so you can rest up and not have to see anyone.
- You stopped thinking about dreams awhile ago. You remember having Dreams that you would "one day" get to, but they were long ago replaced with bills, mortagages, and other responsibilities.
- You just feel like something is missing and you have no idea how to fix it.
HOW DO I KNOW THIS?
Because that was ME!
Yep. After 20 years of working my way up the corporate ladder, I found myself one day sitting in a doctor's office suffering from exhaustion. Adrenal fatigue, brain fog and the accompanying irritability had put me at my wits end. I knew that something had to change but I was at a complete loss. My whole identity had been wrapped up in my career and I'd stuffed those dreams I once had way on the back burner. So far back that I had no idea what they even were anymore. And, even if I did, I didn't have the energy to go after them. Plus...I had this sinking feeling that it was too late. The idea of starting over was daunting.
BUT DEEP INSIDE THERE WAS A SMALL VOICE SCREAMING "NO"!
It CAN'T be too late! There has to be MORE. I know that I am MEANT for MORE. Don't give up. Don't throw in the towel. Don't let this be all there is to your life!
AND I LISTENED.
For the first time in years, I really listened to that small voice.
I realized that I had an opportunity to do something that many people never do.....
I had the opportunity to follow my Dreams.
Except there was that one small problem....
I didn't know what those dreams were!
I had to get out of my head!
I had spent so many years up in my head, being strategic, creating action plans, making things happen.
I knew that those skills would benefit me at some point in this process, but "strategy" wasn't what I needed right now.
Being "realistic" and "reasonable" and "rational" and "reliable" wasn't what DREAMS were made of!
SMART goals weren't exciting and weren't lighting me up!
J.U.I.C.Y. Dreams
I didn't want those S.M.A.R.T. goals...I wanted DREAMS....J.U.I.C.Y. Dreams
Joy Driven
Dreams that light you up, and bring a smile to your face.
Unrealistic, Unreasonable, UNBELIEVABLE!
Dreams that require you to go into your greatest human faculty--the Imagination
Inspired and Inspiring
Dreams that breathe life into you. And that require you to breathe life into them.
Colorful
Dreams that use all the senses....that you describe in vivid detail...how it looks, sounds, smells, tastes, feels.
Yearnings
Dreams that are based on your yearnings....that small voice that's calling out to you, guiding you toward your self actualization. (when you listen to it!)
The Good News....
- Dreaming is a muscle and, just like your physical muscles, when you exercise it, you can strengthen it and build it back up.
- Your Dreams NEVER leave you. They are out there in the Universe just waiting for you to call them in!
- You are MEANT to live your Dreams, not just Dream them. That's why, when we're out of alignment with our Dreams, it feels so crappy! (and can even wreck havoc in our lives).
- When you learn the art of Dreaming in a specific way, you lay a fertile foundation that enables you to bring those Dreams to life!
AND I LISTENED.
For the first time in years, I really listened to that small voice.
