Hello my beloved friends!
Guess what?! This week marks my 21st Monday post
in this blog! And we’re still going strong! Woohoo!
Thank you for your ongoing support in reading this blog, I
love and appreciate the time you commit to reading each post that interests
you. And I enjoy the dream that some of my own gems of wisdom are helping you
realise your own beautiful gems on this journey!
So to celebrate the landmark, let’s mix things up a bit this
week – and start with the GEM!
Give yourself permission to dream :)
So often these days we fill up our time so much that we
don’t allow ourselves the time to sit back and have a daydream. Do you ever
manage a lazy Sunday morning anymore?
Too often now, when a dream manages to slip through the
cracks in our stress and emerge into our conscious mind, we immediately begin
squashing the idea with words like “impossible”, “impractical” or “improbable”
so "it’s not worth the time thinking about it".
But did you know? Happiness and health is all about letting
go of your perceived ‘reality’ and just looking for joy in the moment! In the
world where media is now full of sensationalised topics designed to stress us, playing
and dreaming are great ways to get away from all that unhappy, energetic
clutter. Of course life is all about a healthy balance between dreaming and
doing. Doing is very important too.
I think of it a little like this:
Doing/Being is food for the present, as you do what needs to
be done in the moment for your own happiness (and by flow-on affect, for the
happiness of those around you).
Dreaming is food for the future. Our future is a
delightfully blank canvas, and we alone are the painters of our destiny, so why
not deliberately start painting an easy-going, happy picture?
My premise is based from the Law of Attraction. If we spend
all of our time focused on our present reality, that’s all we’ll ever know
because we’ll just keep attracting the same experiences. If we allow ourselves
to stretch our mind to all the delightful things that we would like to happen
in the future, we create doorways and windows from where those delightful
dreamt experiences may enter our lives!
And remember, being humble in your dreams is not necessary.
If you can dream it, you can achieve it. The only ‘hurdle’ in the way is that
first you need to truly believe in your own worthiness. And yes, you are absolutely
worthy!
Ultimately, you have nothing to lose by taking a moment here
or there to sit back in a patch of warm sunshine, close your eyes and daydream
about something nice. The feeling of wellbeing that will come from that moment
will be enough to make that moment worthwhile!
My one caution with this is that you start with daydreams
that are easy and enjoyable. For instance, if you are struggling to pay the
bills, dreaming of unlimited finance is fantastic, but only if it doesn’t stir
up fear or stress in you. The key of this exercise is making sure you feel JOY.
Starting light is easiest. Imagine some ‘everyday’ thing that you delight in,
like walking in a beautiful garden, watching an Aurora, a butterfly landing on
your outstretched finger, or whatever delightful moments pop into your mind.
Just sit back and enjoy a delicious, guilt free moment of joy. :)
And if you still need some more convincing that you are
worthy of your little and big dreams, then turn face to face with the
person who can help you with that – yourself. Jump back in front of a mirror,
or any time you see a mirror, and allow yourself to feel love and gratitude for
the beautiful person that you are. Tell yourself how much you love yourself.
How grateful you are for this life. How grateful you are for all your skills,
talents and gifts. And that you believe in yourself.
If you are new to this
blog, and are not familiar with mirror work, please read my early post titled
“Inner Dialogue – What Do You Say To You”. In there I introduce Louise L. Hay
and her revolutionary ‘mirror work’.
In happy and easy going dreams, and joyful day to day
actions, have a delightful week.
In love and light, be peaceful.
Annalise
