Does your dream feel safe?
Jun 13, 2024 9:13 pm
Ok ,
I know this seems like a silly question. Why wouldn't a dream feel safe? Why would we want something that didn't feel right? Wouldn't that be more of a nightmare?
There's a reason we have these dreams and goals and desires for our lives after all...
You can feel it right? You were meant for more.
I've yet to hear a person say they felt destined for an average life. That they want to work for 60+ years to have something mediocre to look back on. Have you?
I mean... we're stardust and energy in a physical form!! How could we possibly be here in this time and space to play it small?
Dream big!! The advice of all the experts (including me).
We hear this advice all the time. You can check your social media and find at least a dozen adds in 2 minutes all selling the same things.
Big dreams. Amazing lives. Happiness, love, abundance, health, possibility, and more!
Don't get me wrong, I support this. I often encourage my clients to dream even bigger! But...
What happens when not only do those big dreams not feel possible... they don't feel safe?
This is the shadow side to working with dreams. The part we don't always talk about and so can't plan for. It's the part that will hold us back 100% of the time.
So if the dream is to be wealthy, is there a part of you that fears getting money because you might lose it? If the dream is to find love, is there a part that fears having to utterly change to accommodate someone else? If the dream is getting fit, is there a part of you that worries people won't see past your exterior any more?
These are all sneaky little gremlins that underlie all we tell ourselves we want. They're hiding in the shadows and working against us ever achieving our dreams by making them feel unsafe.
Did you notice the common thread in all of them?
Fear.
Being aware of the fear opens doors.
Once we can put a name to the fear or find that little gremlin and drag it (kicking and screaming) into the light of our conscious awareness, now we have options!
We can make a choice to change and take away the power that fear has to hold us back from our dreams!
Find the tools to make a difference.
There are SO many tools available to us to work with our fears. To rewrite our limiting beliefs, empower our actions, transform our routines. Its actually a bit overwhelming these days to see all the resources out there.
But! That also means there's options that align perfectly for YOU! If you decide to open the doors to find them.
And I'd like to help in that process by sharing some of the aligned things I've curated.
Raise your voice with confidence!
If you missed it, I got to have a live talk with the Confidence Catalyst herself, Diann Alexander! She shared a few simple, quick, and powerful ways to beat the stage fright monster.
Several of the things we discussed transcend public speaking and translate to all aspects of life too. Ways to shift the focus back from external to internal is one of my favorites!
Plus!! She gave us an experience with her alchemy crystal singing bowls you won't want to miss. Catch the replay here.
Gain guidance when you feel lost.
When you're struggling to find your way and are desperate for clarity on making those dreams feel safe, I'm here to help. I'm so excited to offer you a equinox and full moon free reading! This exclusive chance to receive a FREE reading from me is happening live Friday June 21st at 5pm PST.
Join one of the ways I love to give back to my incredible community of dreamers in my beloved Facebook group, Dawn of Your Dreams. If you're not already a member, hop on over and you'll be able to submit your question to secure your reading.
Be open to your intuition.
This can be a struggle even for those who've explored their intuitive gifts their whole lives. Especially in a world that often discounts those as 'Woo Woo'. So I'm going to give you space to explore this.
By popular demand, I will be hosting the first of what will become a monthly Intuitive Practice Circle! This will be your space to come and hone your intuition in a collaborative setting. You can also bring your questions and have others share their hits with you.
This will take place on Saturday June 22nd live via Zoom tentatively at 11am PST. Come lean into this sense to get closer to those dreams becoming reality.
Celebrate to elevate! Build your community with collaborations to take things to the next level.
The fact is that we all are more motivated when we work with others. It's easier to remain accountable AND to celebrate our wins. In this digital age I find it more important than ever to put effort into connecting with those who resonate with us and amplify our good work!
I'd love to invite you to join me for a quarterly networking event that has fast tracked me in finding my people. Coming June 25th-26th, JV Connect hosted by Michael Whitehouse is where you'll find me busting more of those fears around putting myself and my work out there.
Join me in making your dreams of having an impact on the world easier (and more fun) by finding others to help you get there collaboratively.
Whether you take advantage of these tools and resources, or continue to seek out your own, I truly hope you take strides to fight the fear and make your dreams feel safe. Only then can we wake up one day to realize we're living our dreams come true!
To Your Dreams,
~Elizabeth
