They, whoever they are, say that things come into our lives when we are least expecting them. Love is the first one that comes to mind. A new job is a close second.
While I believe there is some truth to this, I also think that working to build the life you want (erm, manifesting, if you don't mind getting a little woo-woo about it) is important. Personally, I am manifesting, or trying to at least, all of the time; from seemingly trivial things to the big, lofty, pie-in-the-sky goals.
Dreaming isn’t just about wishful thinking—it’s the first step toward shaping the life you want. When you take the time to imagine what could be, you’re opening yourself up to possibility. What does your dream life look like? What kind of person do you want to be? By giving yourself permission to dream, you take the first step in a journey that leads to getting what you want.
But dreaming is only the beginning. Action is what turns those dreams into reality. Maybe it starts small, like dedicating five minutes a day to practice self-care *wink, wink*. Or maybe it’s a bold leap, like applying for that job you’ve been eyeing or reaching out to someone who inspires you. Whatever it looks like, remember: manifesting your dreams isn’t about waiting for life to happen to you. It’s about meeting your dreams halfway with intention and effort.
There are new beginnings and opportunities all around us! Reaching out and grabbing them, well, that is up to you. The world is your oyster. A little thoughtful planning and effort will go a long way to help you call in the things you want for your life.
Today is all about dreaming. We're saying what we want, no matter how big or small, and then going for it!
JOURNAL PROMPTS
- What is the wishlist for your life? If you don't want to think about life, make a wishlist for this holiday season. This list can be however long or short you want. Think about now, 6 months from now, a year from now, and so on. I like to set a timer for 3-5 minutes and brainstorm all of the things I’d love to see in my life. This can literally be anything (a new morning routine, renovating the bathroom, reading more books).
- Pick one or two things from the list and map out a little 3-5 step plan for how you make that happen.
- Think about what positive impact making these things happen will have on your life in the near and distant future.
