Chasing Your Dreams

Have you ever wonder why hope is essential when you are trying to make your dreams come true? Having hope is key to achieving your dreams. Sometimes our dreams don't make sense to anyone but ourselves. But good dreams can inspire you to make positive changes that enhance and strengthen your life. This article is about incorporating small micro steps into your life to help you achieve your dreams.

Acknowledge and Recognize your dreams

Being able to acknowledge your dreams helps you create a pathway to achieving them. For some people writing their dreams down in a notebook app, journal, or creating a digital or physical vision board helps them to acknowledge and recognize their dreams as something tangible and worth pursuing. Being able to visually see your dreams can help you see that your dreams are obtainable.

Making Space

Making space in your daily schedule to live out your dreams. Setting time aside to work on your dreams is imperative to reaching your goals. By setting boundaries around your time so that you can work on reaching your dreams on a regular basis. For some getting up early or working in the evenings after work helps them create the space they need to thrive. Setting boundaries helps them to focus on their dreams and helps them to make progress. Creating space in your life to reach your dreams and making achievable and measurable progress helps you to see results.

Building a Strong foundation

You can build a strong foundation by always being on the look out for opportunities to develop your skills and talents. Making sure to do the research in discovering techniques and strategies that others have used to reach the same dream. Asking for help and talking to experts whether online or in person can help you gain valuable insight in learning tangible ways to achieve your dreams.

Being Consistent

Make sure to make tiny steps forward. That means show up for yourself consistently. Most dreams require work and consistency to achieve so making sure to build a life that allows you to fully embrace the space and life that you want. Finding ways to stay motivated is key to helping you to stay the course when encountering dry spells or challenges.

Encountering Setbacks

Recognize setbacks and failures as opportunities for growth or advancement. Failures and disappointments are a natural part of the process and may act as arrows for redirection. Make sure to employ gentle self care techniques after major setbacks can help you to heal and find the strength to continue on the path of following your dreams. Sometimes having positive affirmations ready to boost your mood, talking to a trusted friend, or slowing down to acknowledge disappointments can help you overcome disappointments so that you can continue to make strives towards your goals.

Celebrate Small Wins

To keep yourself motivated it's important to celebrate small wins. Celebrating small successes can help you to stay the course and help to create momentum. Something as simple as writng your weekly wins in a journal can help you recognize and appreciate the successes along the way. Recognizing your wins allows you see the progress that you are making and will help motivate you to continue to chase after your dreams.

Taking Risks

Taking risks is a natural part of following your dreams. Putting yourself out there and taking reasonable risks that have the ability to propel you forward. Taking risks could include taking a class or a workshop, joining a club, volunteering, signing up for an online dating app, or applying for your dream job. Making sure to set yourself up for success by taking natural risks to develop your skill sets.

Final Thoughts

I love the Chinese proverb that says, "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." It's a great reminder that if we want to improve or change something we must be willing to take the first step and continue making strives big or small to make our dreams a reality.
