Dream Big … Even Now

 

Does it feel like your life got put on hold in 2020 — and now 2021 is feeling like more of the same? You’re not alone! 

Maybe you had to cancel a big trip to Europe, put off exchanging “I Do’s” or launching your own business. Pressing pause on big plans, hopes, and dreams since early 2021 has been a reality for most of us. That’s why today, we want to challenge you to get back to dreaming, planning and expecting great things. 

The thing is, dreams, goals and plans are imperative to a happy life. They motivate us to get off the couch and to feel excited about the days, weeks and months ahead. So this weekend, make a date with yourself to dream – BIG! 

Grab a journal and …

  • Write down any and all dreams you have swirling in your head for the next 1-5 years. What do you want your life to look like in 1 year, in 3 years, in 5 years?

Write out your personal dreams (“I want to buy a house” “I want to vacation in Greece” “I want to learn how to play the piano”) and any professional goals (“I want a promotion” “I want to change careers” “I want to retire”). Keep in mind you’re worthy and deserving of everything you desire – so think big!

  • Choose 1-3 dreams that make you the most excited, and write down 3 action steps you can take right now to see those dreams materialize. Even visualizing yourself being, doing and having it counts!
  • Write your top dreams on note cards or Post-its, and display them around your home. It’s important to give them attention every single day to keep you excited about them and nudge you to take action.  

2021 may not be off to the greatest start, and these still uncertain times may keep you from being able to do some things right this very second, but you can still keep dreaming, planning and expecting great things for your future.

So allow your mind to wander, and reap all the happiness and joy that comes along with it.

Good things are in store for you!

XO,
Savvy Team

Make Time for Your Dreams

Make Time for Your Dreams

What’s one thing you could do that would make this year stand out from the rest and make you feel like you took a big leap in your life?

These days, many of us are so pressed for time that we give ourselves few moments to do what actually excites us. But even if your day feels impossibly stuffed, you can make time for what really matters.

Sounds nice, but how, you may be wondering? I’m so happy you asked!

You Are Enough, Right Now

You Are Enough, Right Now

Some days you may feel like you’re not good enough, or doing enough. You may wish you could snap your fingers and turn into a version of yourself you think you should be with a perfect job, spotless house, and exciting hobbies (or whatever your definition of an ideal life may be).  

But here’s something you need to know … You are wonderful, just as you are. You are enough, right now.

A Less Stress Summer

A Less Stress Summer

Summer is synonymous with relaxation, but sometimes we find ourselves stressed out and not living our best, “feet in the sand, good book in hand,” season.

Worries happen to all of us. But, one of the easiest ways to feel more carefree is to take a moment to declutter your brain. Because here’s the deal: Our brain can only handle so many thoughts at once. Anything extra bouncing around distracts you from enjoying otherwise happy moments.

Here’s how:
