Following our dreams is not really something that is drummed into us as we grow up.\u00a0 It’s more something that over time, we can start to gravitate to.\u00a0 So, let’s explore what following our dreams may look like in the practical sense.<\/p>

Having a good self-care routine may sound a bit selfish out there but it’s one of the best things we can do for ourselves.\u00a0 It helps us maintain balance in our lives because sometimes we can tip the scales too far in one direction – I know because I’ve been there.\u00a0 When balance is achieved, or close to it, it frees up the mind space to unleash creativity.\u00a0 That’s where the fun begins. A freer mind equals more space to create!\u00a0 And when we get into creator mode, well, anything can happen.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

As an example, take a short look around the environment you are currently in.\u00a0 Everything, and I mean everything, was created by someone.\u00a0 It started as a thought, then it was brought into reality.\u00a0 Think about that.\u00a0 It was an idea, then someone acted upon it.<\/p>

So, if you want to follow that dream your chasing, start at ground level and look after yourself first.\u00a0 Self-care is a great way to do that.\u00a0 What does our mind need?\u00a0 What does our body need?\u00a0 What does our soul need?<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Being unique is what makes us who we are.\u00a0 We could copy someone’s stuff all day long but who wants to see copies upon copies of the same content?\u00a0 We are all different and that’s what makes us great as humans!!!\u00a0 Being original brings the opportunity to share new ideas and creations.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

What I’ve learned from my experience is to be original.\u00a0 If people like it, they like it.\u00a0 We also can’t please everyone.\u00a0 That can be a common mistake people make these days when trying to attract an audience is trying to please everyone.\u00a0 That’s never going to happen and there will also be critics and naysayers who will try to bring you down no matter what.\u00a0 The trick is to push that aside and carry on.\u00a0 Just be you, and enjoy it.\u00a0 It can be uncomfortable at times but ease into that and go with it.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

When I started this blog I thought I’d be writing all the time.\u00a0 Turns out, I’m not that big on writing down my thoughts but instead like creating them in graphical ways through images and short phrases.\u00a0 But I wouldn’t have worked that out if I hadn’t tried.\u00a0 I’ve learned to focus my energy on what matters.\u00a0 If it doesn’t serve me, then I assess if it’s worth pursuing.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Note to self – we might not always have the motivation so being consistent will help. I know that my morning walk helps me immensely with my physical and mental health.\u00a0 It helps me start the day right plus it’s a great opportunity to explore what I want to be doing with my life.\u00a0 I follow this up with a strength and conditioning weight training session.\u00a0<\/p>

Getting these out of the way in the morning ensures I’ve done my fitness for the day, and it also sets me up for the feeling that I’ve accomplished something before I’ve even started the day properly.<\/p>

By being consistent, I can then follow the plans I’ve made that will help me work towards my dreams.\u00a0 It helps me feel freer, more motivated to get other things done, and happier in general.\u00a0 Consistency works! We literally are our habits and it shows on the outside.\u00a0 And we feel this, on the inside.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The moment we start to not care about what other people think, is the moment we are free.\u00a0 Stop worrying about what others think and do what makes YOU happy.\u00a0 You are the one living your life, not anyone else.\u00a0 Ditching social media, or at least reducing our time on it can help greatly.\u00a0 Spend the time creating the life you want, not looking at other people’s lives.\u00a0 This frees up a lot of time and helps us focus on ourselves and what we want to achieve.<\/p>

It can be unnerving being ourselves because we’ve been taught to not stand out and to follow the crowd.\u00a0 In my opinion, this is a shame.\u00a0 We are unique for a reason so standing out is what we’re designed to do.\u00a0 If no one gave a shi* what others thought about them, I reckon we’d see so many more great inventions, cool stuff, and cool people.\u00a0 Stop hiding your talents, give yourself time to explore them, and then share them!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

If we’re constantly distracted and bombarded with information, we don’t have time to think of what we really want to do.\u00a0 A lot of people don’t want to spend time alone.\u00a0 Maybe because they’re not comfortable with who they really are.\u00a0 I don’t know.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

This is where walking alone comes in.\u00a0 Couple this with nature and it’s a match!\u00a0 This alone time can help us formulate ideas, find solutions, and answer questions we may have been asking ourselves.<\/p>

If I’m struggling with a problem, could be something I’m working on, or something personal, if I head out for a walk, I, 9 out of 10 times, come up with the solution on that walk.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

Spending time alone helps us also develop confidence as when we’re alone, we only have ourselves to count on, to rely on.\u00a0 What can be more empowering than being able to rely solely on yourself?\u00a0 If you can’t trust yourself, who can you trust?<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
