Have you heard of a concept called Blue Monday? Supposedly, it falls on the last Monday of the last full week of January every year. This is the day when most people realize they’ve already given up on their New Year resolutions and haven’t taken action on their dreams yet. And apparently, Blue Monday is today!
I’d never even heard of it! So, how do I greet you? Happy Blue Monday? Gloomy Blue Monday? Buck up, Little Camper? 🙂 The race isn’t over yet, and know why? Because you aren’t in a race!! You’re here to create your dreams, not compete for your dreams. Take a sigh of relief, the pressure’s off!
That doesn’t mean you don’t take action, however. Pressure isn’t necessary, but action is crucial to living your dreams. If you feel bound up in fear or uncertainty of how to even get started, just take a minute and feel gratitude for the good things already going for you in life, and then take it one step further and feel gratitude for those things you want that are only in your imagination right now. That’s a great first step!
Then, start jotting down ideas for how you can reach your dreams. One or two will ‘pop’ for you, and the next best step is action! And it doesn’t have to be radical action. If you feel impressed to call someone, do it! You never know where it will lead.
