Do you remember when you were young and you used to daydream? You had no limits, no boundaries, you would think of places you wanted to go, people you wanted to meet, jobs you wanted to try, thinks you wanted to do, things you wanted to have...
You could be a race car driver, a doctor, an astronaut, a fairy princess.
You could live in Paris, or Rome or on the moon.
Your house could be a castle, or a mansion or a toadstool.
When is the last time you let yourself just daydream? No rules, no restrictions. Just dream.
I have several colleagues, mentors and friends who journal. I have a really hard time with the journaling process, but as I was thinking of trying it again
I considered the idea of daydream journaling.
Just let your mind wander and think of anything that pops up.
Things you would love to have - a new car, a dream home, a new kitchen, a new laptop, a pet monkey.
Places you would love to visit - Paris, the zoo, Egypt.
People you would love to see - far away family or friends, real or imagined characters from books or movies.
Jobs you would love to do - be a fireman, an astronaut, the president, a ballerina.
Allowing our mind to free flow like this is a great form of self-care. Letting go of the constant thoughts of your stressors, your lists and obligations is more than just cathartic, it's soothing, it's a release.
AND ... you just don't know what silly, or wild and crazy daydream could plant the seed for your next venture, your dream home, your next career, the solution to a problem that's been vexing you.
Have learn to meditate on your "to do list"? This is a great way to do that too!
I dare you, set aside 15 minutes to just daydream. No guilt allowed!
Do you think it could reduce your stress? I do!
