Men dream big dreams — a new car, a new boat, a new job. Women traditionally dream small dreams — a call from their special significant other, time alone, a new outfit. Now is the time to make a decision to follow your heart and make a secret dream come true.
It might be a career change, a relationship change (for better or worse), a goal, a secret desire. Whenever you begin saying, “I wish…” it is time for the dream. But first, if you are single and dreading being alone, here are some hints for New Year’s Eve. Shine
Day One: Dream Your Dreams
- Let your mind wander as you dream impossible dreams
- Spend at least five minutes several times today just day-dreaming.
- Write down the whispering of your soul.
- Write down the most outrageous dream you can imagine for yourself.
- What is the one dream that keeps recurring even though it may be in different forms? Write it down.
- Think of a dream that your heart of hearts is telling you about.
- At the end of the day write down the one dream that dominates your thinking. This is your heart’s desire.
Now celebrate even if you are alone on New Year’s Eve. Buy yourself some fabulous champagne. My favorite is Veuve Clicquot. Read about this widow and how she became a legend. Her story, Times Book Review Her champagne. Veuve Clicquot — Be certain to click on USA for the English translation.
