I.D. Your Dreams
Just what do you want anyway? Be specific or you won’t know where to start. The
following dream retrievers can help you review and reevaluate your goals.
1. Mind Movie. OK, some fantasies are too far out for fulfillment. But don’t write off
your reveries as only daydreams. How should you tap into your imagination?
Deliberate daydreaming! Set a scene, and start the camera rolling. Don’t direct and
don’t judge, but do take note of what you see. When the show is over, jot down the
details, and keep a record for future reference.
2. Goal Collage. You dream in pictures, so picture your dreams. Leaf through some
magazines, tearing out anything that attracts your eye, from awesome clothes to a
party scene. Once you have a good assortment, glue them down on a large sheet of
paper to make a poster of your “great life.” (If you don’t want your dreams on
display, stick your pictures in a scrapbook instead.)
Goals serve as beacons to give you a sense of direction, to help you stay motivated,
and to make your desires seem attainable. Bonus: The self-esteem/satisfaction payoff
of meeting one goal sets you on the right track for going after another. Here are some
ground rules for goals!
