If
you learned how to reach a little higher in life, even if only in your dreams,
some of your negative stress can melt away. For example, you may dream about flying,
or maybe being a winning athlete or national ruler. Or perhaps you dream about
finding that special love of your life or about being successful and happy, in
your personal and business life?
Although
you may aspire to heights in your dreams, they dont need to just remain
in the background when you wake up. There are things you can do to combat stress
with your positive dreams.
Your
dreams allow you to set your own goals, no matter what they are and who you are.
Nothing seems impossible in your dreams.
Think
about all the new inventions out there, all the new technology. Someone had to
dream about those things in some fashion before creating them! So dreams can come
true and often do.
Lets
look at how to make your stress diminish through the use of dreams with some easy
steps to success:
1)
Dare to dream big. Smile and let your thoughts flow.
2)
During waking hours, keep a journal or special notebook and jot down the dream
ideas that make you smile. Maybe some are the idea that you have plenty of income
to pay necessities and can actually go to a mall to shop - without inhibition
- and enjoy yourself with your children or best friend on a small shopping
spree, with no financial stress involved.
Or
maybe you dream about enjoying plenty of free time with friends and family with
activities going on in your life, with no stressful workaholic and isolation (work-at-home)
tendencies pulling you down.
Whatever
your dreams, no matter how far fetched, jot them down. Dont worry about
how they may appear to others. All info is confidential, for your eyes only.
3)
During some free time, look through your dream notes.
Look
into your dream ideas and really try to nail down some specifics, for ways to
make your dreams come true. For example, look at the shopping spree scenario.
How much would you have in your dream? You could place this amount in your budget
and save for it, maybe setting up a special project or part-time work just to
get the amount together.
And the activities with others, which type of activities are you dreaming about?
You can plan a picnic, go skydiving, sailing, fishing any number of things.
Make a list of people you can get in touch with to get together. Check into local
nature groups and get a monthly schedule of their activities. Look up civic and
other associations in your area and online, if you like to travel farther.
The
more you can turn your dreams into realities, the more your negative stress will
go away. So take charge and have fun turning your dreams into realities.
