Goal Setting and Dream Journaling: A Heart-Centered Approach

---

Here we go. This is where the action happens in your journey towards heart centred living. We have explored intention and your soul's purpose, but now it is time to make actionable plans for your personal development. Remember to lead from the heart through this process.

The first two modules could have been completed at any pace, but I recommend that you work through this module for 1-2 weeks. This time is necessary for you to integrate what you have already learnt with everything you will discover in this module about self-guided learning.

So I invite you to engage with these exercises.

*Write a list of empowering affirmations for yourself.

For example;

I am enough just as I am in this moment.

I am the creator of my reality.

This list of affirmations can be displayed somewhere in your home, car, or even at work to guide you through each day. All your thoughts, feelings and actions are yours and yours alone. You have the choice of what you think, feel, and do.

The next exercise is as follows;

Be in a quiet space, calm your mind by focusing on your breath with a piece of paper and pen at the ready. Now is the time to ask yourself this question:

*What do I need to know in this moment?

For the third exercise in this module, I want you to really dig deep and think about what you want for yourself in the future. When I say the future, it is not just about time because everything is happening now. So anything you plan for the future has been created now, but the results take time to manifest in the world.

This exercise is about identifying what you want both in the future and right now. Let that sink in.

Here is what I invite you to do:

*Get 3 envelopes dated 2, 3, and 6 months from the date you start this module. List 3 goals you want to achieve in 2 months, 3 for 3 months, and 3 for 6 months on separate pieces of paper and place them in the correct envelope.

*Get a 4th envelope dated 9 months from when you start this module. Write down how you want to feel about yourself in 9 months.

For example; I want to feel safe and comfortable in my body.

Any affirmations, goals, and thoughts you have written down can be used as intentions to be spoken out loud as soon as you wake up in the morning and even before you go to bed.

When you are young, an adult asks you about your dreams for when you grow up. But why do we refer to them as dreams? And why do we also call dreams a state of sleep? Are these two concepts connected in some way? 

If what you strive for in life is linked to the experiences you have while you sleep, then both are indeed connected to your heart. This realization is part of my journey towards heart-centred living, which is why I have dedicated my life to focusing on my dreams. To aid in my personal development, I started a dream journal to understand myself better and to decipher the random dreams I would regularly experience. 

To delve deeper into your heart and enhance your self-guided learning, you need to pay attention to everything you experience in life, including your dreams. Grab a notebook and start journaling. 

After creating your dream journal, each time you wake up, write down everything you remember about your dream. 

Make sure to include the date, time, phase of the moon, how you felt, and any sensations in your body. 

Enjoy this process! If you have any questions, please feel free to email me anytime at hello@heartofbilje.org.
