Your Dream Life with Kristina Karlsson

Hello & welcome back!Well, we’ve all heard many times about the power and impact of practicing gratitude, BUT is it really all it’s made out to be?Can it really make the huge difference that so many people tell you it can?I have to say, that in my experience the answer is a resounding ‘yes’ and ‘yes’ and I share my experience, explain why and show you how on this weeks episode.Some of the key things you'll learn in this episode:There is such simple magic in putting pen to paper and jotting daily in a journal about what you’re grateful for - and 5 mins a day is all you need.The science is clear – there are so many benefits from being grateful.Expressing gratitude regularly is strongly and consistently associated with greater happiness, improved health, better relationships and resilience thru adversity.There is always something to be grateful for and as with everything, the more you practise being grateful, the more genuinely grateful you become.Practicing gratitude journaling doesn’t mean you have pretend you’re constantly happy or have a 24/7 smile. It’s not about any sort of false positivity.It's normal for people to have a bias towards ruminating on what’s not going right in life – that’s how our brains are wired sadly - but gratitude journaling is your place and time to push that aside.Consistency is key, and to help with consistency it helps to use a journal you love – and to set a daily evening routine. Keep your gratitude journal by your bed for example and turn to it when you jump into bed.So let your gratitude journal be your daily companion and guide to cultivating a grateful mindset. Just follow along and enjoy the ride and all of the benefits that will come your way.And remember, it’s great to hear insights like the ones I’ve shared with you here, but the important thing is to move from inspiration to action - and to put your insights into practice to help transform your experience of life.So, take time to reflect on what resonates with you in this episode - and decide what actions you'll take as a result.I really urge you to try gratitude journaling for a month and see how it feels.As a very special offer to my Dream Life podcast listeners around the world, I’m giving you a promo code that you can use to take A$5 off when you buy yourself one of our new Dream Life Gratitude journals from The Dream Life Store.

Hello there!For over two decades I've been writing in a journal nearly daily - as many of you know. I credit my daily practice of journaling for having helped me keep a sense of wellbeing through many ups and downs.So when I find a new approach to journaling that really works amazingly well, I want to share that with the world! Which is what I've done with a brand new approach to journaling I've created and called Daily Wins (...and I've turned it into beautiful journal collection on my Dream Life Store here...).In this episode I share with you how this new approach works and how it can improve your life as it is improving mine. Some of the key things you’ll learn are:How the simple process of thinking about and writing down 3 wins you had from your day can move you from a focus on the angst of what you haven't done, to simple satisfaction with what you have.How even a simple mindset shift like this - practiced daily - can have profound psychological and productivity benefits.How combining this with jotting down 3 simple things you're grateful for each day will put a smile on your face.And how the very simple act of jotting down 3 wins you plan to make tomorrow - planting seeds in the fertile soil of you subconscious mind - can give you clarity and have you focussing on the most important things in your life. Every day.Trust me and give this style of daily journaling a go for 3 months. Yes, you’ll have days where you can’t do it or miss it. But if you can do it most nights, I promise you, it will get you closer to your dream life, whatever that means for you.To find out more, read how to journal Daily Wins style here...ENJOY!Dream Life Founder   SHOW NOTES:Checkout the Daily Wins journals I've created for you here... Learn more about my Personal Growth Club - GROW here.Join the Dream Life Podcast Facebook Group here - and jump into discussions and learning with like-minded people.If you love this episode, don’t forget to subscribe for more inspiration – and please tell us what you thought by leaving us a review!  RESOURCES:…please help up spread this inspiring message to even more people by sharing our podcast on social media with the hashtag #101milliondreamers Download a review of Kristina’s Top 10 Favourite books of all timeBuy Your Dream Life Starts Here audio book, by Kristina KarlssonBuy Your Dream Life Starts Here e-book, by Kristina KarlssonLearn more about my Habit Club here.Shop inspiring and meaningful products at The Dream Life Store here.Follow Kristina on Instagram Follow Kristina on FacebookBe inspired to Dream Big as Kristina takes you through her free 101 Dreams Audio Guide  My dream is to inspire and empower 101 million people around the world, just like you, to write down three dreams, and go chase them!    See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

You stand at the top of the steep run-in to the massive aerial ski jump. A sea of people and the worlds press below. Breathe in. Breathe out. Here you go… You ignore the pain of the broken bones in both of your ankles. You only need 15 seconds of perfection - flipping & twisting through the air 6 meters above the icy snow - to win the Olympic gold medal you’ve dreamed of, trained for and sacrificed for… for over a decade. But you KNOW you’re in your right place and you’re ready, because you’ve visualised and prepared for this moment in minute detail - hundreds of times.Welcome to another Dream Life podcast episode!The immense and often under-estimated power of visualisation - and how to use it in your own life - is just one of the valuable take-aways for you from my truly inspiring guest in this weeks podcast.Alisa Camplin-Warner is a true hero - in every sense of the word - and the first ever female to win gold for Australia in the Winter Olympics.Her incredible story has so many real life learnings for us all as we contemplate or chase our own dreams. However big or small.I really urge you to listen carefully to this episode as I revisit one of my most popular and downloaded episodes ever. It’s so profoundly inspiring and full of everyday learnings for you.Some of the key things you’ll learn are:How Alisa pursued a big dream, without knowing IF or HOW she could do it - and how you don’t need to know IF or HOW. You just need to start. The important lesson? Don’t let not knowing HOW stop you from starting.The immense power of WHO. As in who can help me with this? Who has done before what I want to do now? How can I learn from them?How starting small and taking regular small steps forwards is the right way to achieve your dreams.How even seemingly insurmountable obstacles can be overcome if you have a strong enough ‘reason why’, a growth mindset and good people around you.How to find silver linings in the darkest clouds. The story Alisa shares of how lucky she was to break both ankles just 6 weeks before the gold medal jump is simply spine tingling amazing.How Alisa harnessed the power of her self-doubt - and how you can too. Way too often I see self-doubt stop people from living the life they deserve.Why you just have to start practising visualisation to help you achieve your goals and dreams - and how to do it.The importance of having the right people around you – who support, encourage and believe in you and your dreams. Surrounding yourself with the right people and the right community is so important.And last but not least – the power of reading and learning. Alisa is an avid reader - loves biographies - and always asks herself “if they can do it why can’t I?!”So, do yourself a big favour and make time to listen to this INCREDIBLE episode. Take notes in your journal - and ask yourself, “well, if she can why can’t I?!”ENJOY!And Dream Big for yourself!Dream Life Founder  PS: Share this episode with others to inspire them. It’s an amazing conversation and you can all get a front row seat…  SHOW NOTES:Watch Alisa on YouTube here...Learn more about my Personal Growth Club - GROW here.Join the Dream Life Podcast Facebook Group here - and jump into discussions and learning with like-minded people.If you love this episode, don’t forget to subscribe for more inspiration – and please tell us what you thought by leaving us a review!  RESOURCES:…please help up spread this inspiring message to even more people by sharing our podcast on social media with the hashtag #101milliondreamers Download a review of Kristina’s Top 10 Favourite books of all timeBuy Your Dream Life Starts Here audio book, by Kristina KarlssonBuy Your Dream Life Starts Here e-book, by Kristina KarlssonLearn more about my Habit Club here.Shop inspiring and meaningful products at The Dream Life Store here.Follow Kristina on Instagram Follow Kristina on FacebookBe inspired to Dream Big as Kristina takes you through her free 101 Dreams Audio Guide  My dream is to inspire and empower 101 million people around the world, just like you, to write down three dreams, and go chase them!   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hi there and welcome to another episode!In this episode I’m sharing some valuable insights from a great book I’ve just read, The Gap and The Gain by Dan Sullivan & Dr Benjamin Hardy.It’s a book we’ll be reading in GROW – my personal growth/book club in June.There really is magic in the key concept they share - how a simple mindset shift in the way we tend to think about, and measure achievement & progress, can transform our lives.Let me briefly explain…Most of us, me included, are often hard on ourselves when it comes to evaluating the progress we make against our dreams and goals. Our achievements.In particular, ambitious people often feel they’re ‘not enough’… not achieving at the rate they feel they should be… and discontent, pressured or unhappy as a result.But the authors point out that we can easily turn that around – with a simple strategy for staying positive, happy and motivated – and that the key reason for feeling that way is simple.It’s because of the way we’ve learned to measure our achievements by focussing on what we haven’t yet achieved (The Gap) – rather than on how far we’ve come (The Gain).And while the book focusses on high achievers, there really is something universal in it for everyone. Here are some of the key take outs you'll learn:How much of what we’ve learned in life leads us to be chasing new things that are out ahead of us. Like moving targets, they often seem out of reach. When we measure ourselves against that ideal we’re chasing, we’re in ‘The Gap.’How, when we make a simple adjustment to measure ourselves against our previous selves and how far we’ve progressed - the person we were when we set our goals and ideals - we focus on ‘The Gain’.Focussing on ‘The Gain’ leads us to clearly see the progress we’ve made. What we’ve achieved. How far we’ve come. Our wins. Our growth. The positive sides of achievement, that naturally bring confidence, inspiration, satisfaction - and joy!How it’s a subtle shift in approach that brings a massive shift in mindset and daily good feels! Bringing positive, powerful emotions that motivate us to keep pursuing and achieving our goals – feeling good about ourselves along the way.How the status quo is to focus heavily on what we haven’t achieved. What ‘The Gap’ is between where we are and where we want to be – and how that creates an unnecessary and heavy negative compound effect on us.How focussing on ‘The Gain’ means measuring our progress against where we started. Not comparing ourselves to others or something external - and how this has enormous psychological benefits. …and so much more. It’s really a deceptively simple yet multi-layered concept and learning more about it will have you feeling good, feeling grateful, and feeling like you’re making progress even when times are tough.If you're finding that happiness eludes you no matter how much you strive, then learning this easy mindset shift could set you on a life-changing path to greater fulfilment and success.Enjoy the episode, and if you’d like to read my blog about the book you can find it here…It’s a great book and I can’t wait to read it, discuss it in GROW and most importantly, implement what we learn.If you want to join us for GROW in June you can learn more and signup here…I’ll be back next week with another inspiring episode, so make sure you subscribe to the podcast so you don’t miss it.Until then, dream big & start practising focussing on The Gain!Love,Dream Life Founder   SHOW NOTES:The Gap and The Gain by Dan Sullivan & Dr Benjamin HardyLearn more about my Personal Growth Club - GROW here.Join the Dream Life Podcast Facebook Group here - and jump into discussions and learning with like-minded people.If you love this episode, don’t forget to subscribe for more inspiration – and please tell us what you thought by leaving us a review!  RESOURCES:…please help up spread this inspiring message to even more people by sharing our podcast on social media with the hashtag #101milliondreamers Download a review of Kristina’s Top 10 Favourite books of all timeBuy Your Dream Life Starts Here audio book, by Kristina KarlssonBuy Your Dream Life Starts Here e-book, by Kristina KarlssonLearn more about my Habit Club here.Shop inspiring and meaningful products at The Dream Life Store here.Follow Kristina on Instagram Follow Kristina on FacebookBe inspired to Dream Big as Kristina takes you through her free 101 Dreams Audio Guide  My dream is to inspire and empower 101 million people around the world, just like you, to write down three dreams, and go chase them!    See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Last week I was fortunate to be invited to an event (in person at last!!) to hear a remarkable Canadian woman speak: Barbara Arrowsmith–Young.Barbara is the author of The Woman Who Changed Her Brain - a worldwide bestseller – which tells the incredible story of how she struggled as a child with severe learning disabilities, built herself a better brain, and started a program that has helped thousands of others do the same. Sound remarkable? It is!!It was so inspiring to hear her amazing story, that I immediately asked if she would join me on my podcast so I could share that story with you this week. She said yes, and it’s such an inspiring story for you. Here are some of the inspiring key takeouts you'll learn:How she went about finding silver linings in the darkest of clouds. Overcoming challenges - as she chased her dream. A dream that to most of us sounds simple - that one-day learning would be easier for her. And what we can all learn from that.How we can shape and increase the capacity of our own brains.How curiosity, determination and a will to make a dream come true can help us overcome the most challenging of problems.How Barbara jumped into the driver's seat of her own life after her Dad told her, “It’s your responsibility to go out and find a solution”.How life-changing it can be if you follow this advice... “If the rest of the world tells you that you can’t do it, don’t listen.”How anyone experiencing self-doubt should forget about trying to get rid of it, and instead set about harnessing it's power.How valuable meditation is for creating calm and developing a growth mindset…How important it is to surround yourself with positive people who encourage and support you.So, if you want to be inspired to overcome your own challenges and you’re interested in fascinating insights into how you can change your own brain, enjoy taking a front row seat on my conversation with Barbara. It’s truly inspiring. I can’t wait to hear what you think so please let me know in the comments below... or in my Podcast Facebook Group here.And remember, it’s great to have these insights but the important thing is to move from inspiration to action - and to put your insights into practice.So try to take a minute to reflect on what you’ve heard - makes notes in your journal - and decide what actions you’re going to take as a result....and if you need a beautiful journal to capture life learnings, have a look here for one you love, that you can personalise with your name on the front cover.And please, let me know in the comments below or in my Podcast Facebook Group how you feel about the episode, what you'll put into practice as a result ...and then come back to let us know how it goes, so we can all learn from and be inspired by each other.Dream Big!Love,Dream Life Founder  PS: Talking about finding silver linings in challenges, I've had my own share of those lately (I think we all do!) and I will tell you more about that in the future, but I now have a specific journal for all my silver linings ‘when life gives you lemons’. Because when life gives us lemons, let’s make lemonade together!      SHOW NOTES:Cognitive Questionnaire Barbara referred to.  Her books Free 5 part Webinar Series: Shaping Our Brain  Barbara's TEDx talk Research:  https://arrowsmithschool.org/research/These two are free downloads, complements of the author, Howard Eaton  The Brain Pioneer   Brain School  A presentation – Changing Brains, Exploring a New Reality – Auckland, February 2020 Read my Blog article -> 7 Simple Mindfulness Practices For Your Daily LifeView our Dream Life Mindful Journal collection here… RESOURCES:Join the Dream Life Podcast Facebook Group here - and jump into discussions and learning with like-minded people.If you love this episode, don’t forget to subscribe for more inspiration – and please tell us what you thought by leaving us a review! …please help up spread this inspiring message to even more people by sharing our podcast on social media with the hashtag #101milliondreamers Download a review of Kristina’s Top 10 Favourite books of all timeDownload my ‘Letter to Your Future Self’ format here…Buy Your Dream Life Starts Here audio book, by Kristina KarlssonBuy Your Dream Life Starts Here e-book, by Kristina KarlssonLearn more about my Personal Growth Club - GROW here.Learn more about my Habit Club here.Shop inspiring and meaningful products at The Dream Life Store here.Follow Kristina on Instagram Follow Kristina on FacebookBe inspired to Dream Big as Kristina takes you through her free 101 Dreams Audio Guide  My dream is to inspire and empower 101 million people around the world, just like you, to write down three dreams, and go chase them!    See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Well we're nearly halfway thru May and I am feeling energised and fantastic, having now done a couple of weeks of Mindful in May.Every day I’ve done the suggested meditations in the program, listened to the interviews with experts about mindfulness - and followed the exercises and prompts in my beautiful new Mindful Journal.It’s working – and it’s such a good feeling!So in this Episode I’m sharing with you what's working for me – what I’m calling my 7 Simple Mindfulness Practices For Daily Life - and see what feels right for you to try.I’m hoping by sharing this, you'll find something new that you can start practising daily to improve your own wellbeing. And let me start with what I've learnt is one of the biggest misconceptions that exists about meditation - 'you only need to practise mindfulness when you formally stop and meditate'. So not true!In fact, your whole day can incorporate mindful experiences as you simply bring an intention to stay present to what you are doing from moment to moment - and these 7 tips will help with that...Enjoy todays episode – it will help you incorporate more mindfulness in your life. Please join in the conversation and share in my Podcast Facebook group what you’re adding to your life and how you go with that. It’s inspiring for all of us!I’ll be back next week with an inspiring guest so be sure to subscribe so you don’t miss it.

Hi there - and welcome to another episode! As you may know, over the last two weeks I’ve run four sessions of a workshop on How To Reset Your Life to Make 2022 the Best It Can Be …and I’m just so inspired!We had thousands of people from around the world join in – from places like London, the Philippines, Singapore, New York, LA, Hong Kong, Sweden and all over Australia. It never ceases to inspire me – hearing people move from being uncertain, unsure, unclear & stuck –> to having a real sense of clarity and excitement for the weeks, months and years ahead! And that was in only 60 minutes!The energy was wonderful as they shared dreams they discovered during the workshops, and started to map out actions they’ll take and support they’ll invest in.It’s truly so inspiring to be around the enthusiasm and energy of people whose fire for life has been stoked. And that’s the key message of this episode …“Being around like-minded, positive, uplifting people who think abundantly about life is SO important.”So often I hear that most people just don’t have those kinds of people around them day to day – and so they don’t get genuine and regular support and encouragement to discover and chase their dreams.Sound familiar?If you don’t have that in your life currently, it’s the one key thing that could make a massive difference for you – as my podcast guest this week explains so very well.Natarlie Kierce shares her story with us, of getting a bit lost during the pandemic – and working too much while stuck in isolation at home in Melbourne, Australia (…in what were some of the longest and harshest Covid lockdowns in the world.)Natarlie made a key decision to put herself around positive, uplifting people – and take time to invest in herself and in dreaming again – and her story of transformation is so uplifting and inspiring I had to share it with you. You’ll love it.Not having done anything like it before, Natarlie joined my Dream Life Online Course and she is now thriving. For her it’s been genuinely life changing to take time to dream again after the pandemic.She shares how she went from feeling empty and uninspired, to now having a natural mindset of “What is there not to be excited about in life?!!”It’s a great conversation that I believe you’ll find inspiring – and will show you how your life can transform when you put yourself around positive and inspiring people!I’m a big believer that when the student is ready, the teacher appears. so if you have even a slight feeling that it’s time for you to step forward and start creating your dream life – what-ever that means for you – why not learn a little more about my online course here…  I’ve seen so many wonderful transformations like Natarlie’s, so I would LOVE for you to join my course too and start on your own transformation. In my course I share all of my tools and tricks and the blueprint that I use to create my own Dream Life ...and I’ll be Live on Zoom with you every Tuesday for the first 3 weeks to answer any questions you have and to help you stay motivated and on track! The doors to this intake of my course close at midnight AEST on Sunday the 8th of May and we start on Monday! I just can’t wait! Click here to sign up. …but if you miss this one, you can join the waitlist for the next one here…"If not now, when?"I can’t wait to hear what you get out of it, so please share your thoughts with us in our Dream Life Podcast private Facebook group here...Have a wonderful weekend!Love,Kristina Dream Life Founder SHOW NOTES:Learn more or sign up for my Dream Life Digital Course here…Link to The Happiness Plan by Dr Elise Bialylew, Founder of Mindful in MayLink to the podcast episodes I’ve done with Dr Elise – Episode 72 & Episode 116Learn about my collaboration with Mindful In May to create a wonderful Mindful Journal here…RESOURCES:Join the Dream Life Podcast Facebook Group here - and jump into discussions and learning with like-minded people.If you love this episode, don’t forget to subscribe for more inspiration – and please tell us what you thought by leaving us a review! …please help up spread this inspiring message to even more people by sharing our podcast on social media with the hashtag #101milliondreamers Download a review of Kristina’s Top 10 Favourite books of all timeFind my powerful 101 Dreams guided audio exercise – FREE for you here…Download my ‘Letter to Your Future Self’ format here…Buy Your Dream Life Starts Here audio book, by Kristina KarlssonBuy Your Dream Life Starts Here e-book, by Kristina KarlssonLearn more about my Personal Growth Club - GROW here.Learn more about my Habit Club here.Shop inspiring and meaningful products at The Dream Life Store here.Follow Kristina on Instagram Follow Kristina on FacebookBe inspired to Dream Big as Kristina takes you through her 101 Dreams Audio Guide  My dream is to inspire and empower 101 million people around the world, just like you, to write down three dreams, and go chase them! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hi there - and welcome back to another episode - and this episode is one I believe could change your life, if you choose it to! What I’m about to say may sound simple – but often the best things are.When you want to change something in your life - or when you want to chase a dream and bring it to life - you must do something different.You cannot just do what you’ve always done. In this episode I’m aiming to inspire you to choose one thing you want to do & focus on making that happen for the next 3 months. Just 90 days. Spending a little bit of time on it each day. And where should you start? You just need to take a little time out to figure out exactly WHAT to focus on first. To give you a sense of clarity and inspiration.You don’t need to think about HOW you’ll do it yet.  Just work out WHAT to focus on – and this episode gives you some tips on how to do that. At the time of releasing this episode it’s almost May 2022 - and before we know it, half of 2022 is done! So now is a perfect time to reset and get moving on your Dreams and Goals.  This episode will help you work out your WHAT – and give you a reason to ‘just start’. Starting is the hardest part – so just start small.“You don’t have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great!” – Zig Ziglar…and in 3 months’ time you will thank yourself, like so many other people who join my Dream Life community.I can’t wait to hear what you get out of it, so please share your thoughts with us in our Dream Life Podcast private Facebook group here...Have a wonderful weekend!Love,KristinaDream Life Founder SHOW NOTES:Find my powerful 101 Dreams guided audio exercise – FREE for you here…Register or learn more about my FREE 60min Online Live Workshop in early May, Re-set Your Life to Make 2022 The Best It Can Be! here.Learn more about my Dream Life Digital Course here…Download my ‘Letter to Your Future Self’ format here…RESOURCES:Join the Dream Life Podcast Facebook Group here - and jump into discussions and learning with like-minded people.If you love this episode, don’t forget to subscribe for more inspiration – and please tell us what you thought by leaving us a review! …please help up spread this inspiring message to even more people by sharing our podcast on social media with the hashtag #101milliondreamers Download a review of Kristina’s Top 10 Favourite books of all timeBuy Your Dream Life Starts Here audio book, by Kristina KarlssonBuy Your Dream Life Starts Here e-book, by Kristina KarlssonLearn more about my Personal Growth Club - GROW here.Learn more about my Habit Club here.Shop inspiring and meaningful products at The Dream Life Store here.Follow Kristina on Instagram Follow Kristina on FacebookBe inspired to Dream Big as Kristina takes you through her 101 Dreams Audio Guide  My dream is to inspire and empower 101 million people around the world, just like you, to write down three dreams, and go chase them!  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Up until Paul Callaghan reached his mid-thirties, he had all the makings of a great Australian success story. Or so it seemed, until on his 35th birthday a nervous breakdown changed everything.Reconnecting with his traditional Aboriginal beliefs and culture is what helped heal him… and eventually led him to write his wonderful book, The Dreaming Path: Indigenous Thinking to Change Your Life. Written with Uncle Paul Gordon.I’ve found so much wisdom, so well shared in his book and in the inspiring conversation we had for this episode of the Dream Life Podcast and I’m sure you will to.Paul is an Aboriginal man belonging to the land of the Worimi people, on the coast of NSW Australia just north of Newcastle, and in this episode, he shares a host of inspiring insights for you, including:How we can learn & grow from our challenges – or ‘storms’ as Paul describes them - which need to be welcomed for the meaning and personal growth they bring (he describes his nervous breakdown as “the most magnificent thing ever”).How the power of story can help us create a better life and world – and that when we leave this world all we leave behind is our stories. Paul challenges us all with profound questions. What stories will be told about you once your life is done? Will you leave a good story? What is your unique story going to be? How will it leave the world a better place? And most importantly, how can you create and own the story you want to leave behind? How the Aboriginal definition of wellbeing contends that no one person can be well if everyone isn’t well, and if the land isn’t well. Built on the premise that we are all connected.How so many have lost their way in a world so full of noise and competing priorities. How so many people try to be all things to all people at all times. Busy, yet with contentment and happiness so elusive. Busy, but doing so little.

Hello & welcome to another episode - as we celebrate over 1.5m podcast episode downloads in over 160 countries! I am so excited that our positive messages are spreading around the world, helping people discover and chase their dreams!As I was out walking the other day, I thought of a couple of questions that I often get: Where do I start? Where do I start with working out what my Dream Life could look like?And while I was walking, I reflected back to my own beginning, when I started thinking about what my dream life could look like.Back then I did a lot of researching, attended lots of talks, read lots of books and did a lot of courses. But as I reflected more on that, what I realised was that when it comes down to it, all you need is one thought to change your life. It sounds very simple, but from my experience it’s true. Enjoy this episode where I explore this theme and I'll talk you through a couple of questions that will help you get started. It’s so fun evolving as a person. Being in the driver’s seat of your own life. Working to create your Dream Life. It’s not easy but it’s a lot of fun - and much more enjoyable than accepting a life that you don’t totally love.Remember. This is your life; you don’t need anyone’s permission to evolve. All you need is to start with one simple thought…Decide to grow, evolve and change ...and you’re on your way. I can’t wait to hear what you get out of this episode, so please share your thoughts with with me in our Dream Life Podcast private Facebook group here...Have a wonderful weekend!Love,Dream Life Founder  SHOW NOTES:Learn more about my Personal Growth Club - GROW here.Learn more about my Habit Club here.Join the Dream Life Podcast Facebook Group here - and jump on discussions with like-minded people.If you love this episode, don’t forget to subscribe for more inspiration – and please tell us what you thought by leaving us a review! …please help up spread this inspiring message to even more people by sharing our podcast on social media with the hashtag #101milliondreamers RESOURCES:Download a review of Kristina’s Top 10 Favourite books of all timeBuy Your Dream Life Starts Here audio book, by Kristina KarlssonBuy Your Dream Life Starts Here e-book, by Kristina KarlssonBuy your Dream Life Journal: https://www.kikki-k.com/au/shop-by/collection/dream-life/Follow Kristina on Instagram Follow Kristina on FacebookBe inspired to Dream Big as Kristina takes you through her 101 Dreams Audio Guide My dream is to inspire and empower 101 million people around the world, just like you, to write down three dreams, and go chase them!   And if you're looking for some every day inspiration to jump into the drivers seat of your life and evolve, start here with this beautiful framed print.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
