What are you going to do to make your dreams come true?

I hope your answer is not, NOTHING…

Hi,

Do you have a dream that you’ve been sitting on for some time? Are you too busy or too tired to put your energy into it but, at the same time, you know that if you don’t do something, one day you’ll regret it?

This technique is how you deal with dreams you want, but just can’t quite make the leap to jump into right now.

First thing you do is to write down the final result. Like “win an academy award for nudity” or something like that. Make it simple, clear and very final.

Ok?

Now, you have to choose a real time for it to happen. Usually when I coach people, the rule of thumb is to take how long they think it will take and double it but that’s just me being cautious. You choose the time and date for this dream to happen. Got it?

Ok now, here goes.

Assume you said “win the academy award for nudity” or “become an enlightened monk” – and you chose a date, say, 10 years out. The question you ask is “what happens just before that?”

So you might say, “just before I became an enlightened monk, I sat in a cave for 6 months in the high Himalayas of Nepal” – then ask “and what happened just before that?” you might say, “I meditated on bananas for 2 weeks without food” and what happened before that? I attended retreats with the lama…..

And what happened before that? Oh, I did a workshop with a meditation group… And what happened before that? Oh, I read a book on meditation and practiced that. And what happened before that? (I know this gets frustrating but this is how you deal with laziness, or resistance, or ego that fights) oh, I joined a yoga class. And what happened before that? “Nothing”

If you can get back to the word nothing happened before that, then you are ready to begin. What we are trying to do here is chunk down a dream into a daily habit. Daily habits are your “got to’s”. If create for yourself a list of got to’s it means that you can simply focus on the day, be in the moment, and if they are right, they lead to your dreams.

Got to’s include, exercises, (like Got to do 10 situps every day) and food (got to eat one apple) and self growth (got to read a Chris Walker article everyday) and for your love life, (got to do one romantic thing for my lover) and for your money wealth (got to save money everyday) – the list can get large.

Then you make a check list and you print it or put it on your daily organizer. You can’t do a day without finishing your got to list. If you do, you’ll explode in a million fragments of dust. Or get constipated or something you don’t want..

So that’s how it’s done. Big dreams – small steps.

You can use this to
Loose weight
Gain health
Stay young
Be wiser
Get more spiritual
More happiness

The key is to avoid big jumps in lifestyles. Like “ahhh, I am going to be spiritual and try to do it all in a month. This just leads to short term infatuations, and long term failures. Small steps, long time lines is the key.

The “GOT TO’s” of your life are the daily habits that will turn into dreams come true.

Enjoy

Chris
