Putting On Your Dream
What would I do if I didn’t believe it was impossible?
“Five Sensorize” Your Vision Use all 5 senses to put on that life What does it smell like, sound like, feel like, look like, taste like? Allow yourself to feel this in your whole body—feel the emotions!
Allow yourself to ‘put on’ that life… What does that person do, say, eat, wear? Who do you hang out with? What kind of conversations do you have? How does that person walk out the door in the morning? What does that person watch on television? What does that person read?
Step into that vision, Put on that Person!

If your future self could speak to you, what would she say? What would she want you to know?
NEXT STEPS START from where you are with what you have. Ask yourself each day, “What is one thing I CAN do TODAY to take a step in the direction of my dream? Then take that step. When you get distracted, ask yourself, “Will this bring me closer to my dream?”
