Bit by bit it’s all coming into place [Dream Status Report]

I am doing my Dream Status Report for this week to check in with myself and my dreams and what I need and what my dreams need, for the coming week.

Doing this, consistently over time, IS MAGIC.... AND... Consistency is hard for most of us these days! So - I try to do this on Sundays, and write about it, to remind you to also take a few minutes to check in with yourself and your dreams.

*this practice works well with the Weekly Planning Sheet and Creative Genius Planning Sessions. If you want more progress and momentum with your dreams, you likely need to plan differently!

I'm still thinking about our conversations on the Co-Dreaming call on Friday.

How the theme of FREEDOM kept coming up, people feeling more free or making space in their lives to feel more free and how delicious this feels, even when we find new freedom in the tiniest of ways.

AND the theme of NEXT LEVEL SELF AWARENESS. How people are noticing these "little things they do" in new ways, like "Oh I am making up a story in my mind about why this person doesn't like me when actually I have no idea if they like me or not and I could just... not think about it" and "I'm seeing ways I hold back creatively, telling myself I'm not ready or I'm not that good at it when that's nonsense and actually I AM GOING TO DO THIS THING!!!"

There are just so many ways that our worldview and the things that run through our heads control our lives and we are not usually aware of most of them! So when we have new awareness that's such a huge opportunity/healing/gift.

And it's just really cool and amazing to see it happening in different ways with different people in the group...  it really feels like the energy is shifting.

The last while has been ROUGH, there's been so much to adjust to and process and a lot of our calls felt HEAVY - that's the nature of holding space for ourselves in difficult times. It will feel heavy sometimes. AND. If we keep showing up - things will lighten. New possibilities will open up.

I also had a new awareness during our call about my "problem" with "figuring out" my new structures, habits and routines.

It's actually not a problem! I'm actually doing quite well!

It's just that.. it doesn't look like I thought it would. (This happens SO OFTEN with this work!)

I wanted some kind of simple and always-easy-to-understand way to say (to myself mostly) "THIS IS HOW I WORK".

But how I work changes all the time depending on what is happening.

Like, when I'm doing healing circles during hard times, I need a lot of meditation and journaling and spiritually strengthening practices. After our call on Friday, I felt such  creative buzz I painted for a few hours.

Being truly present, as a space holder, means being adaptable.

I do already have the routines in place to be able to do this AND yes I keep creating new ones. But I was doing that thing where I was trying to figure it all out WITH MY HEAD, as a logical project... when really I needed to just MAKE SPACE to explore and figure it out.

These weekly reports are REALLY helping on that front.

Again, this week, I see that I didn't do a lot of the things on my list.

But I did do different things! Things that are related to those things.

And I realized - the problem isn't that I am not following through. The problem is that I am trying to hold certain tasks too rigidly...

This week instead of writing out the tasks I want to complete, I am going to write out the PROJECTS I WANT TO BE WITH. Like - step back a bit, connect with the soul of the project, and see where the flow takes me instead of deciding that certain tasks NEED to be done when maybe the soul of the project has a different idea about how it could happen. (Note: all of my tasks that NEED to be done at a certain time are already organized well in Notion - without the AI! Just old school project + idea management)

This might only make sense to me - it's is just a different way of organizing and holding the projects I am working on.

And it's a way that FEELS EXCITING TO ME RIGHT NOW and that's all that matters.

(I also notice I haven't used the Weekly Planning Sheet in a while, so I am making a PLAN to use that tomorrow.)

How about you?

Can you take a few minutes today to reflect on how your week went, notice how you feel about it, see if there is anything to learn or celebrate or acknowledge in some way?
