Research shows that 48% of women give up on their dreams during their lifetime.
This research cites that confidence plays a large role in this, but I have to say, so many of the women I work with let their dreams go because life's frustrations get in the way, and the effort to pursue our own dreams seems selfish and overwhelming. That's precisely when we forget that to live life according to our heart and soul desires IS an attainable, achievable and as necessary to our lives as that piece of chocolate we have hid in the cabinet above the fridge that we saved to indulge in after the kids go to bed.
Life does get overwhelming..
We are pulled in a million directions
Bills need paid,
Kids need fed
husbands need love... they also need fed.. and I don't know about you but mine needs attention at levels that should have come with a warning label.
So where's the time to fit in a bit of indulgence for you? You are going to make time, just like you've always done to fit in time for others. It's there somewhere between watching another rerun of Malcolm in the Middle and anything you are using to fantasize with Jason Momoa in it.
Here's where you start...
Make a 100 item happiness bucketlist.
Take out a piece of paper.
On the left side number to 100
Think of anything you'd love to do for fun.. then add it line by line.
Next, Add everything you've always wanted to do
then put thing things you'd love to experience.
You keep going until you've put every little thing your heart ever desired ON THAT LIST !!!
This year, I want you to work on this list to complete as many items as you can.
You want to feel what the sand on a beach feels like as you run barefoot playing in the ocean water? Go do it.
When you were five you wanted a a barbie doll birthday cake? Make it happen!
You always wanted to learn guitar and start a garage band? That's your clue to your next hobby.
Get out there and work down your happiness bucketlist.
Use your dreams to reignite your passions.. not your fuel more regrets
