How To Live Your Dream Life Now

The life you want to live may seem far away.  It might even seem impossible to get there.  The fears, worries, and self doubts, bubble up of who are you to dream something this big.  But, I have news for you.  This dream has been put on your heart for a reason.  The fact that your conscious mind thought it, means that it’s possible for you.  You can turn your dreams into reality.  You just need to start believing that you can do so.  Here is how to live your dream life now.

Inner Critic

Learning to embrace your inner critic who speaks all of your fears, worries, and self doubts will help you to make massive leaps forward towards living the life of your dreams.  However, if you succumb, to the fears, worries, and self doubts of your inner critic, you’ll only remain stuck exactly where you currently are.  Sure, that might not seem that bad right now.  After all, it’s your current reality and comfort zone.  But, you have a bigger dream for yourself and your future.

Visualization Questions To Ponder

If you were to imagine one year, two years, and even five years down the road into the future, is your current reality where you truly want to be?  Think about it.  If one year were to pass by right now and you were exactly where you were a year ago, how would you feel?  In fact, think back to a year ago today.  Have you made progress this past year towards living the life you’ve always imagined?  Or is it just more of the same?  Maybe it’s gotten worse and you’re actually farther away from where you want to be.  How would it feel to you if another year went by like this on repeat?  Take some time to visualize these questions and journal your thoughts.

Make The Decision

Now, if you’re fed up with the same excuses holding you back from living your dream life, then it’s time to decide to make a change.  That is the ultimate first step.  You must decide that you want something different for yourself and for your future.  It’s up to you and no one else to make this decision.  This decision will immensely impact your future.

Take Action

If you want something different you must do something different.  Doing the same things over and over again and expecting a different result is the definition of insanity.  Yes, it may seem hard to do new things.  But, you can do this!  It all starts by taking action.  Take action on doing the things that will move you closer to your dream life.  This means start doing the things today that you would be doing in your dream life.  It seems rather simple, yet you may hear your inner critic speak up that you can’t possibly do things today that you would be doing in your dream life.  It’s a dream life for a reason.  However, it is possible.

Future Self

Do what your future self would be doing today.  For example, create a new morning routine for yourself.  Ask yourself, what your future self would be doing in the mornings.  Perhaps that’s taking time to meditate, journal, dream, relax while sipping coffee slowly, or making it a priority to get a morning workout in.  Become your future self today and take the actions she would take.  When you do this, the distance between where you are and where you want to be will drastically shorten.

Choices

The choices and actions you take determine your future.  Make choices based off what your future self would do.  Then, take the action.  Don’t let the fear, worries, and self doubts hold you back.  Tell the inner critic to sit in the back seat or even get out of the car.  The inner critic will not be driving and choosing the direction of your future today.

Empower yourself to become your future self who makes choices based off the future vision of you.  Then, take action without thinking twice about the inner critic who is giving you all the reasons why you can’t.  Your future self does not allow the inner critic to make the decisions in life.  Bravely step into your future self and make the choices from her vantage point while taking action towards the dream life you’ve always imagined.  Soon it will become your reality.  All because you were brave enough to dream it to begin with.  You’ve got this!
