Be Playful.
Do you remember the sound of your laughter?
Recognize what makes you happy and bring more of what you love into your daily life.
Rekindle your sense of humor and do things that not only make you smile, but that make you giggle.
Extra credit is awarded for making someone else laugh.
Be Inspiring.
Show up big, bold and outrageous.
Let your creative spirit and beautiful bright light shine.
Be the spark that ignites passion at home and at work.
Demonstrate what it means to be a true Dreamer, by following your heart and encouraging others to do the same.
To inspire means “to breathe.” And as oxygen is necessary to sustain life, so inspiration is to dreaming.
Discover what moves you. Dance, sing or simply express the feeling of the moment. Relish it and own it.
With your passion present, ask yourself what your dreams are.
Be Courageous.
Follow your heart and act on something that you know to be true for you.
Demonstrate that you are committed to at least exploring your dream and prove to yourself that it’s important by doing something. The saying “action speaks louder than words” never ringed so true.
Living powerfully includes being authentic and compassionate.
Live large yet genuine.
Trade the mundane for the unexpected.
Each day laid out before us is precious and unique from the one before and what will come tomorrow.
In the end, however it arrives, you can say, “I truly lived my life.”
Be a Dream Coach®.
Ask someone to share their dream with you and tell them why you believe they can accomplish it.
Ask them what they are doing to make that dream happen.
Encourage them to take action and to let you know when they do.
We all have a little Dream Coach inside of us.
Tip #1 of 140: A New Positive Outlook
Try a New Outlook. See something that you didn’t see before. Find qualities that you really admire about the moment, a friend, or a co-worker. Appreciation is developed by taking a moment to pause, breathe and see with new eyes. Take a closer look and acknowledge something that you even appreciate about yourself.
Imagine the Best. Dream big, bold and in living color for yourself and others as you share your dreams. Form a bond of trust as you reveal your inner most dreams honestly and wholeheartedly. Amazing people, places and things are waiting for you right now.
6. Overcome fear and other obstacles (even time and money issues) by enrolling others into your vision. Master this skill and you’ll accomplish bigger dreams with less effort. Learn to talk to anyone, anytime and anyplace about their dreams in a way where they feel inspired. Ask what their personal or professional dreams are and explore. Build an arsenal of people that you can reach out to in a pinch. Develop a robust database of brilliant resources that you can access at any given moment. Build a community of fellow dreamers or join one that already exists like www.mydreamcircle.com.
5. Are you aware of what typically stops you? For most of us, it’s something we hate, we’re not good at, or that we have no idea how to tackle. It can be frightening and when that task is essential to the success of your venture, it could be your demise. Don’t allow one need or issue to destroy your dream.
If your dream is to write a book but you can’t type, this doesn’t have to stop you. Learn a new skill or hire someone. If you can’t afford that, explore bartering. Get creative and get going. The time you waste worrying would best be used by seeking guidance and finding answers.
4. Beliefs are never neutral. They either move you forward or hold you back, but you choose what to believe. The way to move from limiting beliefs that hold you back to empowering beliefs that move you forward is through willingness, courage and practice. Be willing to believe in yourself and your dreams and have the courage to act on what you believe. Develop this as part of your identity by practicing this behavior continuously until it becomes true.
