Go Get Your Dream

Sometimes you have to fall out of love with something to fall back in love with it… I enjoy writing articles and giving you a sneak peek inside of my life but I haven’t posted for nearly a month due to loosing my passion for it . I am going to be very honest, when you enjoy something and it becomes work the passion can easily be lost. I didn’t feel the need to write about my life as I was just overwhelmed with everything that was going on and it all became a bit too much.

In the past few weeks I have been stressing…. crying…. giving up…. listening to ‘I GOT THE POWER’ on full blast at random intervals of the night and telling myself ‘ I CAN DO THIS!’ They say self doubt is the killer of most dreams…. you start over thinking and sometimes forget the reason why you even started. We only live once and if you can dream it you can do it…. so if you are in a stage of your life when you are going through changes… or thinking of making a change … DO IT… I can honestly say that if you are trying to pursue a dream it will include the following:

1) A lot of excitement

2) Crying at random points out of happiness and sadness

3) Stress… stress… stress

4) HARD-WORK… (this is the key to success)

5) Constantly thinking about the dream even when you are trying to ‘relax’

You just need a plan and to be organised and write everything down … my room has turned into a forest full of notes all over my wall and my mini office and sanctuary.

My top tips to starting up your idea/dream!

1) PLAN PLAN PLAN…. what do you actually want to do? Be realistic is it feasible?

2) GOALS- Set mini goals and dead lines and be realistic… have a plan A,B,C if things run over time and write a list daily of all the tasks you need to do.

3) Write everything down… BRAINSTORM… I believe that writing things down pen to paper instead of using a laptop will help you doodle and more ideas will spur up. I have a giant stack of paper on my desk where I write down random ideas and thoughts that are relevant to different topics.

4) Organisational Skills- I can tell you from experience that being organised will make your life a lot easier. I have about 10 folders in my room which are most probably scattered on the floor as we speak.

5) Determination- Remember the reason you started this and you can do it!

6) Positivity and Hope- This will keep you sane…. sometimes a good cup of tea and a chat with a family member or friend can keep you grounded and calm you.

7) Work Life balance- It’s so important to give yourself a break and then work. Otherwise you will burn yourself out and you won’t be able to do any work.

8) Being Pro Active and getting things done- Stop waiting for tomorrow and being lazy and write a daily list of tasks and get them ticked off.

9) Build a team you can trust- Surround yourself with people that believe in you and bring you up and make you believe that anything is possible. Keep away from the people that belittle your dream and laugh or are jealous of your success. Keep things close to your chest and don’t trust everyone.
