Let Your Dreams Drive Your Day

This is the first in a new series of five meditations from my forthcoming magnum opus, The Book of Overstanding, excerpts from which I hope to publish on the app. This visualisation encourages you to take a dream as a seed and allow it to germinate and flourish over your waking time. What could be better than using your dream time to be creative?

Just for today,

Let your dreams drive your day.

Wake up slowly and remember the essence of a dream.

Use it to seed your activities.

Just for today,

Spot early successes.

Replicate only what works.

Weed out the unnecessary.

Be tender with the early stems.

Just for today,

What might your seeds become?

Are they the seeds that will lead to other seeds?

Or world changers in their own right?

Do you have to make that choice right now?

Or can you watch them germinate and grow?

Just for today,

Remember what's not worked.

Rather than crying over spilt milk,

See how you've been guided to here and now.

And thank the ones that got away.

Just for today,

Unbind from the past.

Forgive yourself and others.

Clear the decks.

Only focus on the new dream.

Just for today,

Double your dares.

Be led by temptation and immerse in guilty pleasures.

Until the guilt dissolves into joy.

Just for today,

Take your fill.

Then take it some more.

Bring elation close and then closer still.

Just for today,

Indulge in a little smugness.

What have you done that you're most proud of?

What would your younger you admire about you the most?

What would you like your future you to become?

Just for today,

Sit in contentment.

Be more than okay with what you have done.

Take comfort in who you have become.

Allow the future to perfect itself.

Just for today,

Hone your super senses.

Remember your brain is also a receiver of thoughts.

And your heart and gut are perceivers of feelings.

Be mindful that your aura is a mirror of your soul.

Just for today,

Fall in love all over again.

Be more loving with the ones you are with.

Be in even more love with yourself.

And give love to Mother Earth for creating your playground.

Just for today,

Be pure of heart.

Question your true motives.

Take yourself out of the loop.

Go where your soul needs.

Just for today,

Appreciate the finer things.

Be artistic in your approach.

Become a patron for the arts.

Show an artist the way.

Just for today,

Sort the wheat from the chaff.

Give your old stuff away for free.

Set up your stall and show off your new wares to the world.

Just for today,

Take a higher view.

A place from which you can see all around.

Remember the dreams of yesterday and how they brought you here.

Now dream on.
