Manifest Your Dream Life

Ground + Acclimate [Weekly Dream Status Report]

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. Now I do my reports on the printable journaling sheet instead of on the computer, which I did for YEARS. I LOVE THIS. It just feels different on paper and I love this.

I want to highlight that last week my Friday post was all about disappointment and this week is the opposite.

This week I want to cry because I feel so grateful and happy to be where I am.

I've had three days in a row of feeling exactly like how I had hoped going on hormones would help me feel. I feel like I am 39 and I have never heard of perimenopause, lol. I am optimistic, creative and clear-headed, I have energy and I am so grateful to feel this way. AND I understand that this may be a part of the swings I have been experiencing and there is no guarantee that I will stay feeling exactly like this.

And with my dreams - for quite a while I've been in the process of figuring out how I want to be showing up in certain areas of my business, and feeling like I've been flailing around and not getting anywhere. And then this week it all CLICKED.

This happens! Things click! IF we stay in the process, we do work through it. Even when we are just circling around the answer, the process of circling is helpful.

This week my focus is on grounding and acclimating.

Feeling so grateful for the way my relationship with myself and my dreams has shifted, feeling grateful for new systems and routines I have built... it feels like a miracle to be where I am right now, and I want to take the time to get grounded and acclimated to this place, with THIS relationship with myself, my dreams and my creativity. I know I need these inner changes to feel really STEADY before I do the next part of the outer work.

Disappointment is a part of the process [Weekly Dream Status Report]

It was another rough week at Creative Dream Headquarters.

I saw my doctor, all of my symptoms are the usual side effects and we're still hopeful that I will be adjusted to this medication in the next month or so but in the meantime... YUCK.

I'm also realizing that, all this time I was thinking if I finally went to my doctor for help then that would mean... I would for sure GET help. But that's not necessarily true... maybe my doctor won't be able to help and I will need to go a different route.

This is SO like creative dreaming where you have this idea about something, and you are so sure about it... and then once you set out down that path - you find out how wrong you were.

It can be really disappointing, especially if it took a lot for you to set out on that path, and you were counting on it working out.

In the bigger picture, we always learn from this, we can alway apply that learning to figuring out the next steps but in the moment it can be really brutal. Membership members - remember the disappointment practices in the Library of Inner Work practices.

So, that's where I am. Lot of disappointment that I'm not feeling better yet which, at times, turns into fear that I will never feel better. I know this is not true AND I am just being in the mess with it as well as I can.

Still finding that sweet spot between depth and strategy [Weekly Dream Status Report]

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.

This week was rough.

Adjusting to this medication I am on could take 3 months, and every time I am feeling better I think "this is it I'm adjusted!" and then I crash again.

I am remembering that we don't dream in a vacuum, we dream in the world, as it is, in our lives, as they are. And things will not always been smooth.

We can't wait for "things to be easier" we need to engage with our dreams from within our lives as they actually are. That's where the magic happens.

Filling in the prompts this morning I saw... my explorations of DEPTH and STRATEGY, now STRATEGY/STRUCTURE is where I need to focus, so I'll keep exploring next week.

I am looking for a new way of working, like a shift in my own routines not much WHAT I do, but HOW, and... making changes is chaotic sometimes. That's how this feels.

Routine has always been HUGE for me for my own self care and emotional wellbeing. So changing routines brings up a lot of stuff. It's good to remember that, to accept that it may be hard to re-arrange things, and remember I will settle back into new routines, routines that are a better fit for where I am now and where I want to be next.

This was ANOTHER amazing week.

That's two in a row, lol!

I already wrote about the last-minute retreat I went on. It was SO GOOD to get away like that.

Wandering around in the woods I had this felt sense of how POWERFUL our creativity is.

Getting away from everything helped me shift my perspective and look at some changes I want to make.

I've been doing this work full time for almost 14 years! All the thought and effort I put in to figuring out my routines and ways of doing things served me so well over the years... AND... it's time to re-evaluate. This feels exciting AND it's a lot to step back far enough to re-evaluate.

Filling in the weekly Dream Status Report journaling sheet this morning this was clear: I need to find the sweet spot between DEPTH and STRATEGY.

I am feeling called to be deeper in my creativity and deeper in my healing and deeper in the creative dream process. AND I want a clearer strategy that supports me in this.

So I am drawing that ven diagram - of depth and strategy - and exploring.

Treat the Dream like it’s real [Weekly Dream Status Report]

It was an amazing week.

The Self Doubt healing circle felt so powerful and transformative. (Call details are here, registration is here if you're not in the membership)

So much is shifting in my relationship with self doubt, and the ways it was kind of buzzing beneath the surface, impacting me in ways I couldn't see, and now I can see, so now have new options for how to work with it.

I'm in a place that feels both dreamy and powerful. Not so focused on the outer work, but working on plans for what I want to do next, and mostly focused on growing into that version of me who takes the next steps.

I feel more patient with the process than I have felt in a long time, and so grateful to feel this way.

I am trusting my dream! And while I did the Dream Lab Meditation with this journaling sheet, it told me to TREAT IT LIKE IT'S REAL. I love that.

More Dream Work. Be in the VIBE [Weekly Dream Status Report]

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.

Now I do my reports on the printable journaling sheet instead of on the computer, which I did for YEARS. I LOVE THIS. It just feels different on paper.

It was a hard week.

I wrote yesterday how I've felt mired in self doubt because I've been exploring it more deeply getting ready for next week's Self Doubt healing circle. (Call details are here, registration is here if you're not in the membership)

But that's a PURPOSEFUL hard, I know I am digging into things that are beneath the surface, and clearing things out - which means I will end up feeling more free, powerful and connected to myself.  And it was DELIBERATE since I chose to do it.

Then also it was hard because I am adjusting to the hormones my doctor put me on. On that front, I really was thinking "As soon as I ask for help, and get it, I will start feeling better" Well that's not how it works, lol. My doctor did warn me it COULD take 3 months to adjust and my symptoms COULD be even worse during that time but I was like "NO, things have been so hard, they need to get easier"

Well, things are only harder on that front.

The hard was MADE WORSE BY MY ATTITUDE.

Going into it with "I'm sure this will go really well for me" meant I wasn't prepared for it to NOT go well. Optimism does have a place, but it works best combined with realism, I think. Like "I'm intending for this to go well, but just in case - what is my plan if I struggle with it? Because I don't want to leave myself in a position where I'm struggling and not prepared to do the things I could do to make it easier..."

This is what I found in my practice with the Dream Status Report prompts this week: I'm acting like I am 100% at the mercy of these drugs and their side effects and all I can do it wait it out.

In a way yes that's true. But in another way, these symptoms, especially the anxiety and depression, are symptoms that I DO know what to do with. And I'm not doing those things because "I'm just at the mercy of the drugs and their side effects"

I'm not sure if that will make sense to anyone but myself, but this is the magic of doing this reflection practice every week. We learn from OUR OWN experience, we learn the lessons we need to learn.

So I am back in INTENSE self care mode and feeling much better! If I know these drugs make me more prone to depression and anxiety then I will PILE ON with all the things that help mentally, emotionally and physically.

I wish I was a person who just woke up feeling inspired, energized and optimistic but I'm not. And a part of my INTENSE self care is cutting back on "doing things" like being out in the world, so I have more time, and that time is going to DREAM BOOKING and this feels amazing.

So at the end of the journaling sheet, the focus I have for next week is: More Dream Work. BE in the VIBE!

Being my most wildly joyfully engaged self [Weekly Dream Status Report]

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.

Now I do my reports on the printable journaling sheet (this is accessible to everyone who reads the blog, not just for membership people) instead of on the computer, which I did for YEARS. I LOVE THIS. It just feels different on paper.

Last week I was SO crabby and lost.

I went to a coffee shop to do my journaling and didn't even have the prompts printed out and that felt like a real metaphor for how I was feeling about everything.

This week is so different! I printed out five new copies of the sheets and marvelled at the magic of printing from my phone while still in bed, and then picking up the sheet at my printer downstairs when I was ready to leave.

I really enjoyed this, I even filmed myself filling in the sheet and I'll share it, sped up, as a reel on Instagram today. I am having so much fun with that.

The focus I came to at the end of the sheet is: being my most wildly joyfully engaged self.

I'm still in that tango with resistance. But I have new information about that!!

I saw my doctor about hormone replacement last week, and she was asking about my symptoms and... she told me low motivation is a perimenopause symptom AND it's especially common with the other symptoms that I have.

And I think some of my resistance IS a lack of motivation and if the hormones could help that.... whoa.

So, yes, I am on hormones now! (no advice or feedback about the medical stuff! My doctor really understands this! I do want to share more about this too though - not the hormones themselves, but the process of GETTING HELP when you've been feeling like shit for a long time)

Time will tell if the hormones do help... but regardless I have a new dream work practicing of choosing to hold the intention that the hormones ARE helping and I AM becoming more motivated every day.

I had not ever, in all of my (many!!!) explorations of resistance, noticed that I do have less motivation than I used to have. It's like I've just been blaming myself for being foggy and tired and not wanting to do anything.

I'm excited about where these explorations will go. I'm starting with "I am more motivated every day" and using the meditation for the weekly mantras for exploring my reactions. Maybe get a list going about WHAT motivates me? How I WANT to be motivated?

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.

Week 5 of me doing my reports on the printable journaling sheet (this is accessible to everyone who reads the blog, not just for membership people) instead of on the computer, which I did for YEARS. I LOVE THIS. It just feels different on paper.

EXCEPT... I am in a coffee shop and don't have a new printed copy AND I am HAVING A DAY.

I'm crabby. I'm too hot. I'm overwhelmed by everything

I've done a bunch of journaling about how I feel and what I need and how I want to feel and blah blah blah.

This is the thing about creative dreaming as a PRACTICE.

You can show up crabby some days. Lots of days even!

JUST KEEP SHOWING UP. No particular step needs to amazing, if you are taking steps all the time.

So my step for today - is just to say "Oh shit I didn't print out another copy of the dream status report, I will try to do that later today but if I don't get to it, I will just make up a focus for next week"

My focus for next week: FEEL GOOD. ENJOY THE PROCESS.

That's what I want so much right now on such a crabby morning. And also I am seeing my doctor next week about starting hormone replacement therapy. No comments on that please, I am feeling really good about my decision.

Optimism + Consistency breeds Patience and Trust

That's what my journaling brought me to.

Last week's focus was: soft + trusting + determined and I really did feel that way in a sense, but DETERMINED is not quite the right word.

Determined is the word I used because it was like.. trusting wasn't quite enough. Trusting felt passive and I was feeling this sense of wanting to be ACTIVELY trusting which felt like determined.

This week that shifted into: optimism + consistency breeds patience and trust.

Being patient and trusting WHILE ALSO being optimistic and showing up consistently. This feels like THE VIBE.

Trust as a verb.

Venn diagram: Participating in capitalism to support my life VS Being true to myself + my creative + spiritual callings

I was feeling soooo tangled up about this.

Feeling like these two things are inherently AT ODDS with each other.

They're actually not. They actually have no direct relationship with each other at all.

Your most PURPOSEFUL work doesn’t have any direct relationship to your most MARKETABLE work.

And also maybe you don’t have any MARKETABLE work but that doesn’t say anything about your VALUABLE work.

BUT YOUR FEELINGS MATTER.

So I was FEELING tangled up about this, even with having YEARS of experience of balancing these things in ways that work for me, here I am in a place where it doesn't feel like it's working.

So I drew this diagram.

And I INSTANTLY felt better.

It felt like THERE IS SPACE FOR EVERYTHING.

This is part of the magic of journaling, and taking things out of your head (where all they can do is swirl around) and putting them somewhere outside of you, where you can move them around and put them into different positions in relation to each other.

And it's so easy for things to feel confusing when they are swirling, and this is complicated for me... I am anti-capitalist AND I recognize the ways that capitalism supports my life. And I do support initiatives for change! Especially around a universal livable basic income.

But I do have to be here, where I am, living in this economy as a self employed creative.

So I keep asking the questions.

Feeling the feelings.

And listening to my creative genius because:

YOUR CREATIVE GENIUS IS ALWAYS BIGGER THAN THE OBSTACLES.

For me I went from 100% tangled to.... oh yeah this is fine I got this.... within 30 minutes from working on this Venn diagram.

There is no right way.

Deep beneath a lot of other things is this part of me that is looking for the RIGHT WAY to do things.

And it’s looking OUTSIDE of me for this right way.

It’s tapped into capitalism’s promise: that if you conform to dominant culture and do things the way they say to do things then you guaranteed safety, security, abundance, joy and love.

This is bullshit.

AND it’s so deeply engrained.

When I connect with the soul of the Creative Dream Incubator it asks me to stop looking outside of myself for answers. (using either the Dream Lab or the connecting with the soul of your business practices)

But I don’t know the way to do things that will guarantee that things will work out for me.

This is the terror and vulnerability of creative dreaming.

There isn’t a way to know.

I know the internet is full of gurus who insist that there is a way. Follow these rules, do it this way, put your own unique spin on it for “authenticity’s” sake, but DO IT THIS WAY IF YOU DON’T WANT TO FAIL.

But the truth is - there isn’t a way to know.

You take steps. You try stuff. You heal, grow, and learn in the process. And then each new step is on more solid ground…

But there are no guarantees.

And this is terrifying.

So yeah, this part of me, deep down inside, keeps looking for the guarantees.

And this part of me keeps assuming that if things are not going well for me, that’s because I AM DOING SOMETHING WRONG. And if I could only do the RIGHT things, then I would have everything work out exactly how I want it.

Which only invites shame in which invites in fear and panic. It’s not good.

Looking outside of me for answers is not good.

And I keep doing it.

So I practice NOTICING SOONER that this is what I am doing.

I am making the exact same mistake I am ALWAYS telling people not to make

When I want something new and I don’t see HOW to do it…

I panic.

It feels impossible so I think it IS impossible.

I forget that I am looking ONLY at the Outer Work, and not at all considering how much Dream Work and Inner Work I COULD be doing.

I forget how doing Dream Work and Inner Work completely changes the possibilities for what can happen in Outer Work.

We need to keep reminding ourselves.

Radiate the magic of my dream [Weekly Dream Status Report]

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.

I hand-wrote my report on the printable journaling sheet (this is accessible to everyone who reads the blog, not just for membership people)

I'm filling in my journaling sheet and... LOTS OF TEARS this week.

Reflecting on this last week is actually REALLY REALLY HARD. SO ANNOYING!!!

It's interesting because I took lots of steps and felt quite good and confident and yet in the process of reflection, I am seeing other sides of it.

It's stirring up a lot of stuff... and the "coach me" knows that this is good! This is the stuff that needs to be stirred up and worked through but the "human me" is like FUCK THIS I DON'T LIKE IT.

So I am right in the thick of it.

And it took me a long time this morning to fill in the 2 journaling sheets. And it sparked a whole bunch of... side journaling is all I can call it. Like the prompts sparked other prompts, which I decided to answer in my journal instead of on this sheet.

You know how I often say on our calls that it's good to have really big questions, the kinds that don't have quick answers? And also how it's good to have lots of questions and not a lot of answers because that means you're in a space of expansion and possibility? Having a lot of answers means you're in a more restricted space, though that restriction is useful at times!

So I am in a time of a lot of expansion, so much so that some days I really don't know which way is up.

But the journaling sheets did bring me my focus for next week, which feels grounding and clarifying: radiate the magic of your dream.

This came when I did the Dream Lab practice to connect with the soul of my dream. And it's a pillar of light and it's really grounded and stable AND magical and when I connect with that, there is a palpable shift in my body. I can feel myself radiating that magic and this shifts my mind.

This puts me into a better place to make decisions about what steps to take next. So I will practice that this week.

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!)!

My Dream Status Report for the week:

I hand-wrote my report on the printable journaling sheet (this is accessible to everyone who reads the blog, not just for membership people)

Three things:

  1. Hand-journaling this is AMAZING, I love this as a weekly practice.
  2. The process of hand-journaling, and then sharing it here feels awkward. I don't want to share photos of my journal page, or type out what I just wrote.
  3. I got personal this week, more personal than what I want to share on my blog.

So I am going to do what we do in Dream Book: MAKE SPACE FOR IT ALL

All of these things are true even if they conflict each other, even if I don't know what to do about them.

So this week I will share this:

I felt more in touch with my Dream Self than I have in a long time. Like I am living from that part of me, and it's amazing.

When I'm in this space, I don't care that much about the external outcomes, I trust that everything is coming to me in the right time.

I love this.

And I know that I am supporting myself in staying in this place by doing a TON of journaling and meditation. I keep "having to" buy new journals, lol! ( I LOVE buying new journals)

My Dream Status Report for the week:

I finally did it! I hand-wrote my report on the printable journaling sheet (this is accessible to everyone who reads the blog, not just for membership people)

I want to have a stack of these sheets just tucked into my Dream Book. My weekly reports showing the little things I learn along the way.

Hand writing it was SO GOOD. Re-writing the dream, why I want the dream, AND the new moon intention, AND the weekly focus from last week's Dream Status Report felt like A LOT but... making a dream happen IS a lot. Consciously directing change to happen in your life IS a lot. And NEEDS a lot. I signed up for this 😉

I like that I wrote it all out differently than I usually do, I think I do just write differently by hand than typing and not being able to copy paste last week's answers to start from (which is how I do these typed posts) is probably really good for me.

What feels awkward and not as good is that I don't know how to share them here.

I will put photos below but... I don't know, that doesn't quite feel right. And the process is annoying - taking a photo (what if I don't have the right light? Like right now in the heat of summer I close the curtains a lot, in the winter I tend to do this journaling before the sun is even up, etc) and then air dopping it to my laptop feels like a clunky extra step.

CLUNKY EXTRA STEP

That's how change sometimes feels.

I'm just taking the clunky extra awkward step this week and we'll see where this goes for next week.
