Note: This is a post about my daily practice with my Creative Dreams - I often link to the tools, courses and processes I use which are available to Dream Book members. If you're not a member, find out more + join us here.
On Fridays I do my Dream Status Report which is a series of prompts I use every week to help me have more clarity, momentum and groundedness on my path. You can do them with me (Dream Book members: come post yours in the forum!)!
🦄⚡️Creative Dream Incubator Weekly Coaching Calls start today!!
Hope to see you there - or catch the replay over the weekend! (Call details are here, the reply will be on that page a few hours after we're done.) And after the call I"ll start a thread in the forum to share your plans for the week and as a space for accountability and support.
My Dream Status Report for this week:
PART ONE:
My dream is: I want to get an RV or camper van and travel… WITH MY CAT BEAR!!!! Create a comfy cozy home on wheels, and write + make art on the road while we have adventures. AND... I have a new creative dream which I am still not ready to talk bout.
I want it because: It feels so sweet and makes me happy. And the new dream, which is more about art I want to make, feels like it will expand and energize my whole life.
When I have it I will feel: I think I will feel so happy, free and thrilled with my life.
PART TWO:
Invite the soul of your dream in (using the Dream Lab practice) to help you with the rest of the prompts.
My dream shows up as... it feels like warm light everywhere, it feels like a healing balm.
PART THREE:
Last week’s focus was: Keep showing up, trust the process.
What happened in the last week?
After SUCH a stressful week last week, this week was MUCH better. Still residual stress and anxiety but much less.
There is a level of stability and consistency I need in my business, in order to pursue this traveling-with-my-cat dream, that I don't have right now. This week I took a TON of steps with that. There are so many things, in terms of the business end, marketing and sales, that I used to do that I had stopped doing since the pandemic. And now it's like - how do I want to do them now? Because I don't want to do all the same things, and some of those things don't work now anyway, so there is a lot of experimentation here and I am actually enjoying that.
(We did a Marketing as a Creative + Spiritual Practice call where we all shared what works and what doesn't work for us, it's a really good replay to watch!)
What am I learning/How do I feel about this?
Again, after so much stress last week, this week I am moving slow. I don't feel like I am learning a lot - I am just taking little steps at a time. Kind of a boring week.
What do I need now?
Still: focus on self care.
What does my dream need now?
That warm light kind of shimmers, it feels like my dream recognizes that this is a big shift for me, that creating the stability it needs is a BIG job, it accepts that this will take time. It's proud of me for showing up and doing the work.
Taking all of this into account, my focus for the next week is:
Keep taking steps. I feel like I am in a bit of a boring part with my dream and that's ok. This is the work that needs to be done right now.
