Make Your Dreams Come True Day

Make Your Dreams Come True Day is January 13th

Most of us make New Years resolutions, but it can be hard to jump right into them after the holidays. This is the day to really get down to business and focus on goals that can help you achieve your dreams! You're never too old to make dreams come true, but dreams that stay in your head never get you anywhere. Take this day to make an actual plan for how you can work towards achieving yours.

When we’re kids, we’re told we can be anything we want. But as we leave high school, we’re told we need to have our lives figured out. How can we pick one life path when our frontal lobes haven’t even developed yet? This holiday should remind you that it is never too late to go after what you want. You’ll never get a second back of your life, so act now to fulfill your goals. “The best time for new beginnings, is now.”

Also - dreams aren’t always careers Maybe your dream has been a trip, a state of health, a bank statement. Either way, this day is to remind you not to give up. Once the first 2 weeks of the New Year and resolution hype has calmed down, make concrete steps to fulfill your dreams. Unless, of course, your dream is to stop planning.

Tips to make your dreams seem closer:

• Acknowledge your dreams
• Recognize if you don’t have any
  • Try to pinpoint why this is
  • Brainstorm what could make you happier, or how to maintain current happiness
• Set a timeline
  • Estimate time commitment
  • Plan milestones
  • Pick an end date
• Adjust your habits
• Ask yourself the hard questions
• Don’t be afraid of change
• Acting even when you’re scared, is a good thing
  • Challenges help you learn and grow
