Making your best biggest dreams come true

In a very practical sense : )

Happy Tuesday amazing and wonderful fellow creators!

Today we’ll answer an important question and birth, or hone, your vision of the best possible version of our world.

A World Improved… By YOUR Art & Creativity

We are keeping it simple today!

Investigating what, in a very practical sense, causes our biggest and best dreams to come true.

It’s a simple system
Yet it does require courage to get going
(And perhaps a notebook or a spot on your phone where you can doodle, write, or draw as you consider the following)

Here it is:

First, dream BIG!

Give yourself permission to envision the best possible version of our world.

What’s different? What’s the same? As we humans go about our lives in this world, what is the expression that you see on our faces? What are the emotions that we most frequently feel and what are the actions that we take, in this wonderful world that you’re envisioning?

Second, reflect…

What is the block between your dream and the current world?

Take a few belly breaths. Inhale deeply and on the exhales, allow yourself to relax completely.

When you envision this best possible version of our world
And you see that we’re not there yet
What’s blocking this? What’s causing us to not be there yet?

Spend some time here. If you get caught up in the problems, take another belly breath and return your vision to the best possible version of our world. Then – in the softest way possible – be curious about the blockages.

Third, envision a step that you might take that would help bring your dream into reality.

In its simplest form, what is this step?

Don’t worry for the moment about why you feel like it’s a good step
Or concern yourself with where it will lead
(In other words, don’t overthink this. Keep it simple, smarty-pants : )

If a step feels scary ask “how might I break this down into even smaller steps so that one presents itself that I feel I could take?”

Finally – take it.

Take that little step.

Lather, Rinse, Repeat

This exercise works because it keeps us centered on the vision of the best possible version of the world.

If we get distracted or overwhelmed, we can always come back to this best possible vision.

Sometimes once we take that little step, the next step presents itself clearly. And then we can follow the breadcrumbs, always knowing we are getting closer and closer to this beautiful world where people feel the way that you had envisioned us feeling.

Sometimes it works best to return to the bigger vision and spend some time enjoying and daydreaming about it.. In doing this little four step cycle again, giving ourselves space to envision the world; the challenge; the tiniest step – and then taking it.

These play off of each other in a beautiful dance! My learning has been that my own true wellbeing comes of accepting the universe’s invitation to join this beautiful dance and let my focus rest on these steps gently, softly. Like an upturned leaf floats on water.

Wrapping Up

This exercise has a side benefit, that of helping us understand how our creative work improves the world.

It’s worth spending time reflecting upon. Giving ourselves an understanding of what we naturally wish to create and how it intersects with the beautiful world that we wish to foster into existence.

I’d love to hear what comes up for you!

In our next newsletter we’ll continue on this season’s 10-stop journey of creating in disruptive times. We’ll consider collaboration on our creative journeys.

Stay tuned.

Come Play!
