Benefits for Creating a Dream Journal
Dreams can be seen as a window to our subconscious and unconscious minds. Although dreams can appear to include seemingly random pairing of images and events, they can also hold deeper messages and meanings. Dreams can shed light on our our worry, our desires, our relationships, and the state of our overall health.
Having a practice of utilizing a dream journal can expand our understanding of ourselves and create an opportunity for positive personal and spiritual growth.
Healing the Habit of People Pleasing
People pleasing. It’s like the little sister/brother of co-dependency. Not a full-blown clinical diagnosis but it still can be disruptive in our lives. Its impact can range from annoyance and irritation to depletion and exhaustion.
People pleasing is a habit. A learned pattern. At some point, (usually) in our young lives, we decided it was unsafe or unproductive to give voice to our needs, to actively follow through with compromise or full commitment in meeting our needs, to clarify our expectations to others and to continue the practice asserting our personal power with the art of saying “no”.
