Creative Dream TV: Believing In Yourself

By Andrea Schroeder / November 21, 2012 / healing, Vintage Creative Dream TV

When you don't believe in yourself, every little thing in your way seems like a huge, insurmountable obstacle.

When you do believe in yourself, huge insurmountable obstacles turn into tiny pebbles that you just kick out of your way as you walk merrily along the path to your dream.

Believing in yourself is magic.

But, as you probably already know, getting there is complicated.

That's what this week's Creative Dream TV is all about:

The (free!) Creative Dream Un-STUCK-U-Bator Sessions

By Andrea Schroeder / November 19, 2012

The Creative Dream UN-STUCK-U-BATOR is a fifteen minute laser-focused coaching call with me. (We?ll meet on the phone, or if you?re outside of North America we?ll use Skype, audio only.)

In these sessions, people are finding impossible things turning possible, stucks melting away and new paths being formed.

Even though the sessions are only 15 minutes and most people come to them feeling like their stuck is too big to be solved in 15 minutes.

That?s not true.

We can?t make your shining big dream real is 15 minutes (that?s what the Incubator is for) but we can clear what?s in your way right now and get you moving towards it in a smoother, more ease-filled way.?

And you can get a sense of whether or not I am the right person to help you with your dream.

ETA:? All sessions have been taken. There are no more sessions available.? At this time I don’t know if I’ll do this again, but if I do first dibs will go to the people on my email list (sign up over at the top right corner of this page).

Creative Dream Truth:

By Andrea Schroeder / November 16, 2012

If you think there’s no way for you to get to where you want to be, you need the Creative Dream Incubator.

I promise: there is ALWAYS a way to get to from where you are to where you want to be.? You just need the right tools +? maps.

Free Creative Visualization Meditation

By Andrea Schroeder / November 15, 2012 / meditation

Free Creative Visualization Meditation

Creative visualization meditation alone is NOT going to make your dream real.

The truth is that trying to "think positive" and visualize your dream come true when you have parts of you who believe that your dream is impossible, or who doubt your gifts + abilities, or who are afraid of either fear or success, only makes things very, very uncomfortable.? The more you fight to think positive, the more these parts of you will fight to think negative.

You can't simply bulldoze over your fears with positive thinking to get to where you want to be.

But Creative Visualization Meditation is still super helpful.

It gives you clues about what you need to do next on the path to making your dream real.

What creative visualization meditation does is put you into alignment with your dream.? This is good, you HAVE TO be in energetic alignment with your dream if you're ever going to actually make it real.? So using creative visualization meditation to help get you there is helpful.

But often what happens is that trying to shift into alignment with your dream only makes you very, very aware of where you are actually NOT in alignment with it.

It points the way to what needs to be healed and transformed before you can have what you want.

So pay attention to what thoughts and feelings come up in response to creative visualization and make note of them, this is what you need to clean up before you can take your next step towards your dream.

Try this free creative visualization meditation:

(This is one of the MANY guided meditations you get in Dream Book that help you with every aspect of bringing your dream to life.)

Creative Dream TV: How To Know Which Dream To Pursue NOW

By Andrea Schroeder / November 14, 2012 / Vintage Creative Dream TV

Is there a such thing as too many dreams?

YES.? Yes there is, because you can usually only focus on and bring to life one dream at at time.

When your focus is split, you end up with a Creative Dream Bottleneck.? The result: ALL DREAMS ARE STUCK? AND NO DREAMS BECOME REAL.

My clients HATE THIS!

They want all their dreams, right now.? I have had so many clients REFUSE to pick just one dream.

And I get it - I feel the same way!

But the result of not picking just one?? ALL DREAMS ARE STUCK NO AND DREAMS BECOME REAL.

Holding onto ALL dreams means you actually get NO dreams.? Grrrrrrr.

If you want to succeed, you've got to focus in on one dream.

You don't throw your other dreams away - you just put them in order.

Each dream you nurture to fruition opens tiny doorways and makes the next dream easier to bring to fruition... like magic.

Watch this week's episode of Creative Dream TV for some tips on how to figure out which dream to pursue first:

Please remember that Successful Creative Dreaming is a LEARN-A-BLE skill.

If you have blocks and stucks and obstacles and think that it's just too hard - it's only because no one taught you how to do this.

You can learn how in the Creative Dream Circle.

Book Giveaway: Daring Greatly by Brene Brown

By Andrea Schroeder / November 13, 2012

A little while ago Brene Brown’s publisher contacted me about sending me her new book, Daring Greatly, to give away on my blog.

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!

What amazes me most about Brene is how she comes to all the exact same conclusions about life + dreams that I do, but she comes to them via research and I come to them via intuition/healing/spirituality.? She can present actual research-proven facts about the importance of wholeheartedness!

I read the book and was inspired, especially by the parts about enoughness and how messed up our whole culture is when it comes to this.

That part inspired me so much I made ENOUGHNESS, and growing our dreams from a place of already being enough, is our theme this month in the Creative Dream Circle.? (Which has been sparkletastically magical. Enoughness makes Creative Dreaming even better!)

I take such a deep breath every time I say ENOUGH!? And then I sink into this place that can only be described as heavenly.

You are enough! You do enough! You have enough! Your dreams are enough! Enough! Enough! Enough! Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

We started the month with a magical tele-class/playdate where we spent the day trying on and exploring ENOUGHNESS and what happens when we bring that energy of already being enough to our dreams.

(Everything was recorded, and we’ll keep playing with this all month in our private online circle, so you’re welcome to join and play along if this sounds good: CLICK HERE TO GET STARTED.)

Delicious!

The beauty of Brene’s approach is that she makes it all so logical and sensible.

As though really you have no other option but to accept that you are already enough.

This book is such a deep sigh of relief.

The book jacket has become a little worn around the edges.? I’ve been carrying it with me for a few months, savoring it.

And now it’s time for this book to go and live with one of you.

To Enter the Giveaway for Brene Brown’s Daring Greatly:

Leave a comment below telling me (and the world) that you are enough, exactly as you are right now.

CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED.

The winner is Christine from Lady Myer’s Wordsmithing.

Congrats Christine!? And thanks to all of you for your comments + statements of ENOUGHNESS.? You’re gorgeous!

If ENOUGHNESS and exploring your dreams from a place of already being enough is something you want to explore with me: get yourself into the Creative Dream Circle!

The Magic + Power of Believing in Your Dreams

By Andrea Schroeder / November 8, 2012

(That’s me, from a year ago, taking a walk in beautiful Portland, OR)

Today I’m hanging out with Me-Who-Lives-The-Bigger-Dream and letting her teach me things via osmosis.

(Getting to know the you-who-lives-the-dream is one of the Creative Dreaming Tricks from the Creative Dream Incubator Kit.? This part of you can guide you right into your shining dream come true like MAGIC.? All those hurdles and obstacles in your way? She knows exactly how to get around them.)

I love this.

Creative Dream TV: The Surprising Secret of ENOUGHNESS

By Andrea Schroeder / November 7, 2012 / healing, intention, Manifest Your Dream Life, Vintage Creative Dream TV

Sweetie, you are enough, exactly as you are right here right now.

And your dreams are enough, exactly as they are right here right now.

And, the surprising secret: Settling into a place of already being enough actually helps you to bring bigger dreams to life (like magic!).

That's what this week's Creative Dream TV is all about.

Watch it now:

As I shared in the video, when we had our magical series of ENOUGHNESS tele-classes last weekend in the Creative Dream Circle, we had a lot of resistance to this idea (at first).

It can seem like settling into enoughness means you'll be settling in your life...and yet when you really explore enoughness and let it in actually the opposite happens.

I am So Excited to tell you this!

By Andrea Schroeder / November 6, 2012 / Manifest Your Dream Life

For the past few months I’ve been digging in, refining, re-defining and re-designing everything about everything I do for one reason: to better support you in bringing your dreams to life.

Your dream matters to me.? A lot.

I can help you grow it faster + easier than you think is possible.

So this is what I’m doing about it:? From now on, when you buy the Creative Dream Incubator you’re going to get, like get for free, ALL of my other kits.

That’s $282 worth of Creative Magic Kits for free!

I do feel a bit like a cheesy game show host here but really, my mission is important to me.

Dreams are The Most Important Thing to me.? I want to make sure your dreams become real.

And to do that, I have to give you everything you need to succeed.? So here it is.

As always, the Creative Dream Incubator comes with a 100% Money Back Guarantee.

I promise: it works. You’re ready. Your dream is ready.

Your dream is just the right size.

Everyone secretly worries that their dream is too wacky, too bold, too ambitious, too expensive, too [insert fear-triggered, self-created obstacle here].

Everyone believes that they’re the only one who’s stuck, scared and confused. That somehow their dream is just not possible.

Unless your dream involves a pet unicorn, the ability to breathe underwater, or a new planet of your very own (and a moon to go with it), it IS possible.

And the best time to start making it REAL is right now.

You don?t need gazillions of dollars, a wall of fancy degrees, or superhuman powers (other than the ones you already have!) to make your dream come true.

You don’t even need to know how it’s all going to work. (Really!)

You just need a space to nurture and accelerate your dream, from inception to expression to fruition. You need guidance and the right tools.

You need a Creative Dream Incubator.

(Good thing it exists!)

The Creative Dream Incubator is a wish-fulfillment master class to help you GROW YOUR DREAM, by guiding you through every stage of the Creative Dream Process.

Module 1 – Inception: planting the seed of your dream in the soul of the universe
Module 2 – Essence: connecting with the heart of your dream
Module 3 – Expression: tapping into the magic + sparkle of making dreams real
Module 4 – Unfurl: growing beyond your comfort zone
Module 5 – Amplify: creating positive energy to nourish and grow creative dreams
Module 6 – Fruition: living as the dream

This is it. Everything you need to get from wherever you are right now to happily motoring along the path to your dream come true.

Picture it now: Supreme, creative, joyful ease.

Each module is packed with videos, resources, guided meditations (like this one, right here), journaling prompts, homeplay (not work!) assignments, worksheets and absolutely oozes inspiration, as you can see:

Put your Dream in the Incubator and it will grow.

All those reasons you have for not growing your dream start to grow smaller as possibility starts to grow bigger.

I Can’t turns into I Can. Comfort Zones stretch. Inner Critics transform into allies.

And it comes with a magic rainbow toy that activates affirmations!

The Magic Affirmation Activator and Workbook will show you how to activate the power of affirmations to bring your dreams to life. Because there?s more to AFFIRMING your commitment to your dream than just reading some words, out loud.

Including delightfully colourful hand-drawn Positive Energy Affirmations sent via e-mail!

These affirmations will help you internalize the concepts we’re studying and WAKE UP your Creative Spirit, so you can build brilliant bridges & pathways to your dream, faster than ever before.

The Creative Dream Incubator includes all of this:

6 Creative Dream Incubator Workbooks: totaling over 105 whimsical pages of Creative Dream Magic

21 (!) Creative Dream Incubator Videos: leading you step-by-step through the sometimes-confusing terrain of bringing a dream to life, from the inside out. Each video is between 2 and 22 minutes long – it’s like having me right there in your livingroom, sharing all of the secrets of Creative Dreaming.

6 Creative Dream Meditations: My Creative Meditation mp3s are NOT designed for sleepy relaxation. They?re supercharged servings of ENCOURAGEMENT to amplify your Creative Spirit — and they?re part of the ?secret sauce? of bringing dreams to life. Each meditation is 15 minutes long.

Magic Affirmation Activator and Workbook: everything you need to make affirmations do their magic.

33 Positive Energy Emails: sent out randomly over the next four months, to help keep you groove along your Creative Dream Path.

All the materials are yours to keep, forever and ever, so you can use the Incubator again and again to bring all of your dreams to life.

Here?s what you?ll need:

A Dream that means a LOT to you (or the desire to FIND your next Big Dream)
A computer with Internet access, so you can download the course materials (and you’ll need to know how to download stuff, or have someone who can help you with that part)
A printer (to print out the digital workbooks ? or, save a tree & keep them on your ?puter)
A journal or notebook (and something to write with – I can’t promise but I’m pretty sure you’ll get better results if you use glitter pens)
A willingness to play, scribble, draw, be brave, stomp your feet, and approach Creativity and Dreams in a whole new way

Helping you get what you WANT is my life?s work…and play.

About me: The Creator of the Creative Dream Incubator

I?ve studied the spiritual art of DREAM-FULFILLMENT for over fifteen years, and have counseled & coached people into jobs they adore…homes they treasure…relationships that light them aglow…and creative adventures (large & small) that color their lives with joy.

I have the tools to help you get what you want.

And I?m literally wiggle-dancing with excitement to share them with you.

My mission is to overflow our whole world with wishes (fulfilled!) and dreams (come true!)

This Kit will teach you how to wield your journal like a magic wand?to plan, activate + GET anything you want. (This one used to sell on its own for $55)

The Inner Critic Creative Journaling Kit

Your Inner Critic is like a washed-up paper-pusher, who seriously needs a new job. Learn how to talk to your Inner Critic (a notoriously poor communicator ? no wonder he never got promoted!) and give him the boot?so an encouraging & supportive new colleague can take his place! (This one used to sell on its own for $75)

The Map-making Adventure Kit

Creative Dreams may sound like fluff and unicorns and rainbows?but they?re far from it. You know that your Big Dream requires strength, courage & commitment. It also requires a plan. This Kit will help you map out a plan even a unicorn would approve of ? with creative visualization & mind-mapping techniques that build bridges & paths out of pure, blank paper. (This one used to sell on its own for $50)

The Magic Potions Meditation Kit

Right now ? you need a shot of MAGIC. An answer. An insight. A burst of energy, to cross the finish line. My Creative Meditation mp3s are NOT designed for sleepy relaxation. They?re supercharged servings of ENCOURAGEMENT to amplify your Creative Spirit. Immediately. Like magic, no? (This one used to sell on its own for $50)

Creative Dream Incubator FAQ

If you have questions about the Creative Dream Incubator, I’d love to answer them! You can send me an email using the contact form on this page.

I don?t know what my dream is. Do you have anything that helps with that?

You know what?s funny? NOBODY knows what their dream is 100% of the time! I?m a professional dreamer and some mornings I wake up with no clue about what I want.

Waiting until you know what your dream is is a way to kill your dream before you?ve even given it a chance.

And one of the coolest things about dreams is that they are aspects of your purpose, and your spirit ? so they?re all connected through purpose and spirit. What this means is that if you start to work on one dream, or just dreaming in general ? you?re actually tapping into purpose and spirit and magic (!).

So what happens is that you start to re-arrange your life to be a truer expression of who you really are. You start to create a life that is true to you.

And then by the time you know what your dream is ? it?s already real.

Or, if you absolutely Must Know Now, use the DreamSPARK kit that comes with the Incubator – it will show you exactly what your dream is.

I?d love to do this, but I can?t afford it. Do you have any cheaper options?

I know it feels wrong or selfish or silly to invest in your dreams, but the simple truth is that people who invest time and money in their dreams are the people who live their dreams.

Until your dream is as important to you as the other things you?re spending your money on ? it?s never going to come true.

You hold all the power here! We tend to think that dreams coming true is something that happens outside of us. But it always happens inside of you, and it starts with committing and investing in your dream.

And investing in your dream is completely magic! It shows your dream that you love it and you?re taking it seriously.

It creates an atmosphere in your life that welcomes dreams and synchronicity and magic in. Investing in your dream is the best investment you?ll ever make ? it changes everything.

Plus there is a 100% money back guarantee on the Creative Dream Incubator. Not only is this the best investment you?ll ever make, it?s also the safest.

How much is your dream worth to you?

I don?t have time. Are you going to offer this on an ongoing basis? I?d like to get it when I have more time.

I know it can feel like you?re trying to cram one more thing into your already-overfull life, but the Creative Dream Incubator actually gives you all the tools to be growing your dream without working your ass off.

It?s kind of like working smarter, not harder. It?s growing your dreams via magic.

And it won?t just make growing your dreams easier ? it will make your whole life easier. When you believe in yourself more and doubt yourself less and have effective tools to pick you up when you fall ? everything gets easier.

And let?s face it ? you don?t really need more time. You just need things to be a little easier. That?s what the Creative Dream Incubator does.

Also: One of the unconscious ways we actually hold ourselves back is by waiting for ?the right time? to work on our dreams.

If you?re putting off your dreams you?re putting off happiness and fulfillment and purpose and magic. And the truth is: the sooner you start, the sooner the magic can start.

You can find half an hour this week to get started. Your real life is waiting.

What do Creative Dream Incubator graduates have to say?

“Dear Andrea,

I just wanted to write and say thank you thank you thank you for the Creative Dream Incubator.

It changed my life.

I was stuck in fear and resistance and getting buried under an ever expanding pile of self-loathing because of it. And when we got to Module 4…everything shifted. I realized that my fear didn’t mean that my dream was “the wrong one” or that I wasn’t “good enough” or “brave enough” to go for it. I realized that my fear was just…fear.

And if I moved through it everything would get better. So I did. And it did!

And taking that first step shifted EVERYTHING else.

I feel so different now than I did at the start of the CDI.

I see more magic everywhere. I’m handling setbacks with more calm and determination. I have more faith in my dream. Even my parents have noticed a difference!

Thank you for bringing this beautiful dream of yours into the world. Thank you for your gentle, kind, and supportive presence. You are amazing, and you are doing such important work.

Much love,”

Meg, www.SpiritMovesDance.com

“Hey, Andrea,

I just wanted to write and let you know how amazing this program is being for me.

Crazy-awesome changes keep happening, and obstacles that I thought were surely blocks are just melting away like butter.”

Jenny, www.CrankyFibroGirl.com

“Andrea’s courses are amazing, she is a beacon of light (super creative light) in this world.

I have no hesitation recommending her to anyone to wants to be more creative or make their dreams real.”

Lisa vanEgmond, Artist and Creative Arts Therapist, www.InspirationTherapy.com.au

Your Mission

By Andrea Schroeder / October 31, 2012

This week I don’t have a new episode of Creative Dream TV for you.

<insert sad face here>

I’m getting ready to share some amazing new stuff with you next week…

(Including a new free thing that is going to blow you away, so you may want to get on my email list so you hear about it)

So there’s a lot happening behind the scenes here at Creative Magic Headquarters.

All of the excitement (and busyness!) collided with my practice of EXTREME self-care and it became clear that putting putting the video on hold for this week was the wisest way to go.

So: this is a good time to catch up on past episodes – click here to see them all.

Instead of a Video, I’m giving you a MISSION

Your mission: get crystal clear on how you will feel when your wildest dreams are real.

(a hint in case you get stuck: Knowing What My Dream Is is a perfectly legitimate dream)

I’d love to hear your answer!? Leave it in the comments below.

So much heart-opening magic-sparking fun.

By Andrea Schroeder / October 25, 2012

The playdate is tomorrow!

I can’t wait!

A day of playing with amazing creative kindred spirits… Starting with super-magic creative-trance meditation to go inside to open up new pockets of possibility, flow and magic.

And then a day to play in those new pockets!

Creativity, writing new stories, explorations, costumes, adventure, journaling, discoveries.

The best way to describe it is to say that the Playdate will SPARKLE.

And then three whole weeks of playing together to take all this magic and use it to to change how money functions in our inner worlds.

Which is, of course, the most effective way to change how it functions in your outer world.

We’re going to have so much heart-opening magic-sparking fun.

I hope you can join us.

Creative Dream TV: When You Have Obstacles In Your Way

By Andrea Schroeder / October 23, 2012 / Vintage Creative Dream TV

"It is by going down into the abyss that we recover the treasures of life. Where you stumble, there lies your treasure." - Joseph Campbell

Obstacles and stumbles are super annoying!

They are also the means through which our dreams actually come true, so it's important to pay attention to them.? And that's what this week's Creative Dream TV is all about.

Watch it now:

Once you start really working with this and getting creative about how you handle the obstacles - miracles will start to happen.

Inside the Creative Dream Circle, I show you everything you need to know about transforming obstacles into fuel for you dreams.

Swear-y Rant About Money

By Andrea Schroeder / October 22, 2012 / creative entrepreneur

[AKA Calling Bullshit On Our Relationship With Money, Part 2] (Part 1 is here)

“Feeling good about myself/my work/my art/my actions is more important than money.”

If I hear this from one more well-meaning creative dreamer I! Am! Going! To! Scream!

That kind of thinking creates a split in your relationship with money.? It creates an unnatural hierarchy in your inner world – this is more important than that.

It puts money at the bottom.

It makes money somehow dirty, bad, or wrong – which is not exactly a welcoming environment.

It sets you up to think you’re some kind of asshole for having the audacity to want to make money doing the things you love to do.

And meanwhile – what, exactly, are you going to live on if money isn’t important?

It’s extremely self-sabotaging.

This makes me mad because it reminds me of me!

It reminds me of when I was adamant that art was more important than money.

And it reminds me of how hard everything was for me back then.

And of how wrong I was!

Because actually I make MUCH better art when I’ve got money.? Money SUPPORTS Art.

When I’ve got the art supplies and gorgeously lit studio I need. With crystals hanging in the gigantoid windows, throwing rainbows all over everything.

When my energy isn’t tied up in worrying about paying the bills.

I don’t do my best work in a pressure cooker.

Me doing my best work in a happy studio with fun costumes, heavy on spaciousness, sparkle + ease.

A pressure cooker is exactly what you’re creating in your life when you say that money isn’t important.

Money is important.

It’s not that it’s more or less important than your art or your soul.

It’s all important.

When you tear down that hierarchy then you make it possible for everything to work together.?

Because you inner world was never meant to have a hierarchy!? It’s not about structure and rank.? It’s about all the parts working together for the benefit of the whole.? No one thing being more or less important, everything being cherished and loved for what it is.

That’s when everything in your world can work in harmony to create your life as a gorgeous work of art.

When money isn’t “more important” or “less important” than other things, then it can do what it does best: SUPPORT YOU.

It can help you do more of your meaningful creative work.

It can help you live a life that is true to who you are.

It can help you give your family what they need to thrive.

We have so much work to do in this area!

We being the creative dreamers of the world.

Can you imagine how the whole world would change if more of us were more financially empowered in our lives?? The impact we could have if we were all living our biggest dreams?

It really has to start with a shift in your thinking about money – which then sparks a shift in your relationship with money.

And this is why I’m doing the Creative With Money Online Playdate on Friday.

Because shifting your relationship with money is a difficult complicated thing to do.

I’m not talking about making more money or spending less money or investing better: though those things can be outcomes of an improved relationship with money.

I’m talking about feeling good about money and how it functions in your world.

Imagine right now that you did feel good about money and how it functions in your world.

Can you feel that sense of opening and possibility and magic?? And how money doesn’t have to be stressful?

That’s what I’m talking about.

And that’s what we’re going to do on Friday.? Click here to join us.

PS: I’m getting a lot of questions from people who want to know when/if I am doing this again and if I’ll do it on a different day because Friday doesn’t work for them.

The last time I did this people who were not there on the calls reported that they felt like they were every bit as much a part of the group as those who did attend live.?

It’s usually about 1/2 the group who is there live and 1/2 using the recordings – it’s not like you’ll be the only one who isn’t there live. So I can assure you that you don’t miss out by not being there live on the calls.?

And to answer the question: I don’t know if I am doing this again.

If you’re interested in participating, join now.
