One of the reasons many of us put off our dreams is the perception that we can’t enjoy our dreams right here right now. Guess what you can!
Creating and living the life of your dreams includes both reaching your ‘dream destination’ AND enjoying the journey along the way. (I am constantly reminding myself of this).
This is one of the life-recipes I love to share at my events and workshops, to give my audience a taste, right here right now, how simple it can be to cook up your dreams come true.
There are so many ways to live your dream life, including enjoying the bite-sized steps you take along the way
Try the Dreams Start Now recipe to discover how instant it can be to create your dreams. Remember this is your precious life after all.

HOW TO COOK UP YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE
- On a blank piece of paper, write down 10 things you’d love to do in this lifetime. Don’t hold back. If it’s that dream home or holiday you want then go for it. If it’s conquering your fears or creating your dream job, put that on the list too. Whatever the dreams big and small, write down the first 10 things that come to mind, resonate with your heart and make you feel good at the thought of fulfilling these 10 dream things.
- Now put a circle around five things you’d love to do sooner rather than later.
- Now put a tick next to just three of the things you’d like to focus on first (from the five circled).
- Time to grab your highlighter and select just one of the things from the circled list that you want to do or start this year.
- If you are doing this recipe with a friend or at an event or workshop, now would be the time to share your dream. Tell your friend the one thing you are going to do this year. You may even want to offer suggestions to each other about how you can get started on creating your dream.
- Now make a list of ways to take bite-sized action steps towards your dream. For example if it’s a holiday you want, deciding who to travel with and where and when to visit might be part of your action. If it’s a new job you want, then add my ‘Dream Job’ recipe to your action plan. If you want to pursue a hobby you’ve always loved, you could give yourself a deadline to finish your first project or enrol in your first course or workshop. Whatever action steps you take, know that they are all steps towards living the life of your dreams right here right now.
