Dream

Today in therapy we talked about dreams. More particularly destinations I would like to travel to and the things I'd want to see.

My first thoughts were "Not gonna happen. Ever. Me on an airplane? Remember the last time...?" and so on. It was like a reflex. These thought patterns have been so much a part of me that at first it was hard to even be aware of them. No wonder changing them can be difficult.

I let the negative thoughts pass and actually started to feel excited.

I've read articles about the importance and benefits of dreaming. I knew "all" about how you should dream something and then visualise achieving it etc. But I'd never really thought about it before.

It's like with exercise. Everybody knows you should work out and it's good for you. But when it really hits you is when you actually feel good and in shape after actually doing something concrete about it.

So now I've got another goal for this year: simply
