On Fridays I do these "Dream Status Report" prompts to help me have more clarity, momentum and groundedness on my path.
There are journaling sheets for doing this! These are available for everyone, not just membership members. Download them here.
Looking back on this week I am just so happy and grateful.
My dreams feel clear in a new way, I feel connected to them in a new way. Working with our dreams can't always feel this way (we have to keep showing up for the hard parts and boring parts) but DAMN I am happy to be in a place where it is this way right now!!!
I talk a lot about how your dream isn't something outside of you to chase after, it's an inner calling. It's INSIDE.
This week I experienced that in an entirely new way. Like I feel it in a new way, that I moved deeper into myself and got in touch with this dream in a new way.
I keep thinking of the word SUNK, like I sunk deeper into myself but sinking isn't the right vibe because it feels more like growing. I freaking love it.
I am learning that, all these years in to exploring my creativity and my dreams and my self... that there is still SO MUCH to discover. I can still surprise myself.
I also learned, and I really want to hold into this, that when I am in overwhelm I tend to pull back as much as possible from the world....but going out, in the right ways, is actually energizing. I've been volunteering, going to art events and protests and this is SO ENLIVENING.
It's actually a restorative practice to get out and enjoy the world!
(When I do it in the right ways, which is still to think about my needs and sensitivities.)
But since the end of my marriage almost 2 years ago, and maybe even more like since the start of the pandemic in 2020, "going out" in any way has just felt harder. Like I need a big reserve of energy to deal with the world and I just don't always have it. And it's not like I've been a shut in for the last 5 years, but I "stayed home" a lot more than I ever have in my life. And that is changing now.
And especially, to get out for art and culture and activist activities REALLY feeds my soul and increases my energy.
I am just in a really good place and going to enjoy it.
Next week the focus is to sit with all of this new clarity I found this week about how I want to BE the artist I AM - and look at what it means about my next steps.
Co-Dreaming/Co-Working call is today! I hope to see you there!
We'll start with a short meditation for connecting with the soul of your dream (like the Dream Lab) and then have time for whatever you want to do - planning next week, working on your projects, sharing your updates, talking about something that is stuck with your dreams or just hanging out in the magic of the group.
Call details are here. Replay will be there a few hours after we're done today.
