When your dreams feel so far away

YOU have set yourself some goals, you have become clear on what it is that you really want to experience, and the initial excitement is an adrenaline rush.

And then, some frustration begins to arise when you haven’t reached your goal yet, maybe some resentment and bitterness too.

Your dreams begin to feel further away, and you are wishing you could still feel that initial rush.

Don’t give up on your dreams just yet!

Here are four practices for when your dreams feel so far away.

1. Check in. Pose these questions to yourself and be curious with what comes up. Is this still something that I really want?

Is there another way to receive the core feeling that I am desiring? Have I been sabotaging myself in anyway?

2. Create more safety in your body to allow yourself to receive your desired experiences.

If you are viewing your goals and dreams on a pedestal that are above the current version of yourself. Subconsciously you could be fearing having what you say you want.

If, subconsciously, you believe you have to sacrifice a part of who you are or do things that you don’t really want to do, you will likely sabotage yourself because there isn’t a strong foundation of safety in regards to having what you say you want.

Create more safety by addressing these subconscious beliefs, and feeling the sensations that move through your body.

3. Keep putting yourself in motion by taking one step at a time towards your dreams and trust that the momentum will catch up to you.

4. Be present in this moment and grateful for what you are experiencing now.

Your dreams are already being created and there is no fun in fast-forwarding to end points without getting to experience life in between.

Your dreams may feel far away now, but when they arrive and afterwards you will wonder why you ever worried so much.

Take the pressure off yourself and enjoy the journey.
