The answer is probably not what you wanted it to be [Dream Status Report]

I am siting down to do 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.... this is where your dream becomes REALITY. This is where you stop and notice: How am I showing up? Is this working for me? What else might be needed? This is where we figure things out!! There is so much we can learn by witnessing our own process.

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. Do this with me!!

*Membership members: 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 am still reeling from the Make Space In Your Life For Your Dream Call we had on Friday.

PLEASE DO THIS ONE!!!!

I ended up spending most of last week working on this... I was creating an energy alchemy that surprised even me.

If you're used to doing calls with me, know that this is a different format. Usually we have lots of time for sharing after the meditation and journaling -  but this one was ALL meditation + journaling. So be ready to spend 90 minutes with this at once - and come out with a whole new perspective on how to make more space in your life for your dream.

I do not suggest breaking this one up into smaller pieces.

As I shared during the call, I was experiencing a LOT of self doubt - I went in there trying to make space for my dream in my life - and ended up feeling like I was being buried in mountains of self doubt.

THIS WAS SO HARD TO BE WITH.

But by the end of the session, it was more clear: Self doubt is THE obstacle for me right now.

By the end of the session we were in touch with a deeper inner truth and my inner truth actually said "Oh that? Fuck that. Who cares?" about my mountain of self doubt, lol.

So I've been sitting with that tension - the part of me who feels buried under the self doubt and the part of me who doesn't give a single fuck about it.

And I don't want to make one part of me more right and one more wrong.

(I think that is where a lot of mindset work gets it wrong)

One part is more TRUE, more connected to my truth, to my soul.

But the other part of me has weathered 52 years living the capitalist patriarchy and she's been through some shit! So who could blame her for feeling buried when a mountain of self doubt collapses on her?

To move forward trying to connect more with that brave, ready, powerful part of me and just leave the self doubt in the dust... leaves that hurting part of me in the dust. It splits me off from a part of myself.

And we can't actually leave parts of us behind, they are still there... If we don't work with them, they become weights we drag with us through life.

Though they don't FEEL LIKE weight, they FEEL LIKE reasonable reasons to not have our dreams. Our un-processed stuff does so much harm to our futures.

This is the stuff that makes our dreams harder.

Not that the outer obstacles are not real, they are. And sometimes they are terrifying. But always - you are bigger than the obstacles.

So I am taking my time to really BE WITH THIS self doubt.

I'm thinking about drawing it every day? Like, I have no clue about how to draw self doubt, but if every day, in my Dream Book 2026 pages for this week, I just... draw whatever comes to mind (no judgement, these can look like a 3 year old drew them)... well what could I learn about this self doubt?

The shape and weight and texture of it.

The stories that this piece of self doubt, specifically, is carrying.

The healing that is needed to create new stories...

I've been so unsettled by this all weekend.

I don't think this is a new layer of self doubt.

I think the only thing that's new is that I am SEEING IT.

Which is actually a form of leveling up!!

Even though it feels so hard to be with.

And I am struggling to do my Dream Status Report for this week!

It feels like too much, so I Am not doing it.

I am giving this self doubt a day to kind of settle. I am tidying, meal prepping and sewing a new outfit.

And I'm making a promise to myself to start my day with it tomorrow. This weekly reflection is VITAL for figuring out your path as you go. But that doesn't mean you force yourself to do it when you're not feeling it.
