Reconnecting With Your True Dream: A Journey Back to Yourself

Reconnecting with Your True Dream When You Feel Lost

Rediscovering Your BIG Dream When You Feel Lost

When life feels overwhelming, it’s easy to lose sight of what truly matters. You may even feel like you’ve forgotten who you are beneath the noise of daily responsibilities.

This seems to happen when we allow ourselves to be distracted by and consumed with all the daily happenings that fill up our lives. Letting all the little things become “important” when they are really just noise. There are things in life that can be let go of, not worried about, and they will be just fine.

It’s about taking some time to distinguish what they are. When you take a moment to list out what’s going on, or all your to-dos you can begin to decide what’s important to you and what is just busy work.

In our society there is so much attention on “how much” you’ve done rather than what you’ve done that the what has become unimportant. If your day is filled with all the little things, you can turn around and say, “See?!? Look at everything I’ve done! I’m so busy!” and people will think that you’re successful. Giving you a dopamine hit of temporary satisfaction.

But in the end, you’ll just be burnt out and resentful that there doesn’t seem to be anything to show for your life.

Why Reconnecting With Your True Dream Matters

By sitting back and defining the WHAT of your doing you can begin to lessen the load and increase the satisfaction in your life.

This phenomenon is explained by the Pareto principle (the 80/20 rule), which states that roughly 80% of effects come from 20% of causes. By focusing your attention on the important 20% the other 80% will fall into place.

So, how do you find the 20%? First you have to STOP doing all the things and take some time to reflect on your values, needs, wants, and desires. Journaling is a great way to do this. Though if you’re not into writing, you can just as easily record your thoughts or draw your vision…whatever works to get the information out of your mind and into the world.

How to Begin Reconnecting With Your True Dream

Take out a piece of paper and write out your values. What is important to you. Make it as wild and courageous as possible. No one else needs to see this, so you can put down your most secret of secret things. and

Next, go wild on all that you want and desire. List out everything from the most materialistic to the most spiritual. Again, this is not for anyone else, and they will not see it…so it’s ok to be brutally honest…no one will shame you.

If there are items on there that you feel shame about, ask yourself, “Is this something that someone else put on me?” Where did it come from? Who was the first person you can recall ever saying so?

Is there something ‘wrong’ with this desire? How do you know it’s wrong? Who told you it was wrong?

Imagine giving this shame back to the people who installed it. If there is nothing wrong with it, allow yourself to want it. Their boundaries are not yours.

Now look at your lists and see what is the common theme? There may be outliers here and there, but I’m sure you’ll find that there are some high-level concepts floating around. Acknowledge those concepts that are important to you. They come from your Divine Spark within. They are a part of your BIG Dream.

Living Aligned With Your True Dream

Reconnect with your authentic self. There is nothing to be ashamed of. The past is the past and the future hasn’t happened yet. The only thing you have is right now and how you carry yourself most authentically.

You are worth being fulfilled. Your happiness is important. You are worthy.

When you strip away what the world has layered on you and allow yourself to sit with your deepest values, desires, and sparks of joy, your true dream begins to shine again. The next step is to give that dream space to breathe and guide your future.
