Wrestling with the I Don’t Want Tos [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 here, to remind you to also take a few minutes to check in with yourself and your dreams.

Now that I am feeling better I am prioritizing 1 hour of walking every morning because this helps me feel so much better both physically and mentally.

So I walked to a coffee shop and did the meditation (with noise canceling headphones) for the Weekly Dream Status Report and that felt good...

But filling in the journaling prompts feels TOO HEAVY this week.

There were a lot of distractions in my life this week and a general sense of being discombobulated but also a lot of good things happened and I don't seem to be weighing those on the scale.

How do I show up and do this when I feel discombobulated?

I can just say - I'll do it tomorrow. But I don't want to, I want to do what I ask you to do, which is SHOW UP and BE WITH  what is there. Which means BEING WITH feeling discombobulated.

So - hello discombobulation. What do you need?

I need to get out of this terrible noisy coffee shop with the worst and loudest music in the world.

I know, right? But it's Sunday and the good independent shops are closed all day or until later, so..

So what?! This sucks!

Yeah it sucks. But you must agree that I needed the walk to get here and back? That this helps me feel better?

Yeah I get it, but let's walk back home and do this there in peace.

OK so I am actually going to do that then, and come back and finish this post as I work on the Dream Status Report...

OK Whoa my resistance was right!

That was the wrong environment to try to do this in. Back home, I filled 4 pages journaling about my week and realized... oh yeah a lot of unexpected things happened and I didn't have the chance to focus the way I wanted to and OF COURSE I FEEL DISCOMBOBULATED.

It's the natural way to feel, given what's happened. And after some reflection, journaling and dreaming... I feel better! I feel present and grounded. I also realised that on top of unexpected things happening I had over-scheduled some things last week and I need to UNDER schedule to make more space for creativity for the Your Creative Dreamer stuff I want to make this week, so I will keep that in mind.

So: Now I understand what I need and what my dreams need and I have a good plan for this week. Yay!

Finding the RIGHT thing for you to focus on is easier to do when you reflect more often, which is why I want everyone to do these Dream Status Reports with me.
