229: On Dreading vs Dreaming
from Shameless Leadership · host Sara Dean
If you struggle with chronic worry or anxiety, it is very likely you go through life spending more time dreading what lies ahead than dreaming about the magic you may be about to encounter. Can you relate? As someone who has made it my lifelong, full-time job to worry about everything (I mean everrrrrything), I can tell you I have wasted a lot of time and energy dreading, well, life. And it has been a total waste. Dread doesn’t serve you. At all. Dread doesn’t make your outcomes better. It doesn’t get you to your goals faster. It doesn’t make anything enjoyable. Dread makes you feel powerless, exhausted and often defeated – before you’ve even tried taking action. Like I said – a TOTAL waste. On the other hand, dreaming is expansive and promising. It helps you feel optimistic, hopeful, inspired and energized. Dreaming about your day instead of dreading it can change the way you approach a situation, the way you take action, and the outcomes that you create for yourself. So, how do we go from dreading to dreaming??? Listen in to this episode to learn how to: Change hopelessness into hopefulness Visualize a future you’re totally fired up about (whether it’s just getting through today or powering through the next 5 years) Turn anxiety into action.
