With the new month comes a new theme, and I'm starting this episode off asking you to reconsider calling this one "dumb", ha! It's time to allow yourself to dream big. I suggest downloading the Progress Plan so you can work through it as you listen to this episode. I'm going to offer several shifts you can make in the way you look at dreams, as well as get realllly vulnerable and share 10 of my big dreams.
Why dream big?
I know what you're going to say, really I do. Dreaming big is often met with resistance - mostly from our own selves. So right away I'm tackling the excuses we're all using when it comes to following our dreams. This includes give you permission to get outside of your priorities.
In this episode I also want you to understand that dreams can change, and they certainly look different for everyone. Nothing is too big or too small, so take action and claim them. But how?? I'm going to encourage you to write them down. And then something a little scarier: say them outloud. In fact, I believe so much in this idea that I wrote down my dreams (in present tense!) and read them to you at the end of the episode.
Some of them are very specific, "I am a New York Times Best Selling Author." Some of them resonate with many of our dreams, "I am a world traveller." And some are a manifestation of who I want to be, "I am loving, passionate, fun, and stable." If I can share these personal dreams with thousands of you, I know you can do this in a way that works for you. I hope you take my challenge and tune in for the rest of this month's dream big inspired interviews!
About a few other things
I have always tried to write things down - you know this about my Do Something Lists, Progress Plans and more. But, using a planner has sometimes been a struggle. I found Monk Manuals on my own and this has been the only planner I've found myself totally committed to and really loving. They have been so generous to sponsor the podcast this month, and to offer an extra special (and huge!) discount of 20% off with code 'ABOUTPROGRESS' for July only.
