Have you lost yourself?

I posted a new reel on instagram earlier (click here to view) about why we lose our dreams. As a child we have big, crazy dreams but as we grow older we lose these dreams and we forget HOW to dream big, we settle, we get comfortable. As we go through life we come across people or maybe even parents who tell us 'no you can't do that', 'you'll never do that', 'you can't do that', 'stop acting that way', 'stop bringing attention to yourself', 'don't be an attention seeker', don't do this, don't do that.

Over time we forget who we are, we push our feelings, our dreams, our goals further and further down until they are forgotten about. We push our real selves down until we forget who we are.

As we grow up we start to drink alcohol, why do we feel the need to drink when as children we could just play? (of course I enjoy a drink like many people, but we do not need alcohol to have fun).

We go through life with the pressures and stress of working, childcare, running a household and we don't stop. We don't stop to play because "I just have to do this", "I just need to do the washing", "I just need to do this or that" etc etc etc, it doesn't stop.

When was the last time you played, had fun?

Last night I went to Bongo Bingo, I drove and was sober and I had the best time singing and dancing, plus I feel great today.

This week think about letting go, play with your kids without being connected on your phone, leave the mess, leave the washing, leave the cleaning. Play, be present. If you don't have kids go and do something FUN, something you want to do, without your phone and without being constantly connected.

Don't be scared to start dreaming again, start setting goals bigger than you think possible.

And tell me, what are your dreams and goals? 

I'll tell you mine which seem a long way off right now....

-I am going to be a WBFF pro, I'm going to get my pro card

-I am going to send my kids to private school and I will work until I can

-I am going to travel Australia for 6 weeks school holidays with my kids when they are older

These are my biggest dreams right now, my biggest goals. Notice how I say 'I AM' instead of 'I'd like to or I wish'

You are capable of more than you realise.

Let me know yours.
