Daydreaming …

“Without leaps of imagination, or dreaming, we lose the excitement of possibilities.
Dreaming, after all, is a form of planning.” Gloria Steinem

When was the last time you practiced a little daydreaming? Maybe you lost this precious activity along with other childish things. Maybe you replaced it with negative projections and awfulizing about the future. How is that working for you? Today, I am challenging you to put “Daydream” on your to-do list!

What possibilities live in your dreams?

You Were Born Ready!

You Were Born Ready

Do you believe it: you were born ready for anything? Imagine how much you have learned in your lifetime! With respect to navigating life on this planet Earth, you came into this world knowing very little. You could cry and breathe, sleep and nurse. Your body was a phenomenal machine able to process nourishment and reproduce at the cellular level. Beyond that, you learned how to talk and eat and behave. You learned how to express yourself and do math and play. You learned how to expand into more – and you learned how to shut yourself down. You learned how to believe in possibility and how to limit your options.

What if you believed you were born ready for anything — and — those things that you haven’t yet explored in this lifetime you are still ready for?

What would you attempt if you believed you could succeed?

The Guilt Attack

I woke to a morning without obligations, places to be, people to connect with – otherwise known as “free time”. Immediately, my heart started pounding, my head filled thoughts of people who could use a phone call, all the “things” that I could “do”. I paused. I chose to listen to this extreme reaction in my body.

What was it trying to tell me?

I heard the answer from my head, “You are being lazy. Get busy. You should feel guilty not taking care of people and tasks that need you.”

And I chose to pause longer, listen more deeply. I found tears in the pause. Tears of compassion, tears reminding me that it is not only okay but vital that we human beings rest, rejuvenate, step away from the action at times.

What about you? Do you ever suffer from an attack of guilt when you stop? For a bit of inspiration around pause, take a look behind the card:

Leadership: Facing the Unknown

Leadership: Facing the Unknown

Consider your current situation, clear your thoughts, and respond from your deep inner truth:

What is your purpose?
What struggle can be eased?
What do you believe about the unknown?
Where are you out of integrity with yourself?
What is the boldest action you can take?
What old pattern can die?
What box has become too small?
What is innovation?
What direction does passion lead?
What adventure sparks fear?
What blend of old and new works?
What idea will transform the view?
What keeps you from readiness?
What perceived limitation is false?
What would a versatile leader do now?
What magic lies beyond your knowing?
