How to Rewire Your Mindset and Dream Bigger
Exploring the Journey of Dreaming Bigger Together
Reflections, lessons, and practical shifts from someone living and learning alongside you.
🌱 Why Mindset Matters (And Why I'm Still Figuring It Out)
Have you ever felt stuck—like no matter how hard you try, life refuses to budge? I’ve been there. More than once. For a long time, I thought life just "was what it was." That some people were lucky, born into freedom and abundance, while the rest of us just made do.
But what I’ve learned—and what I’m still learning—is that our mindset is the foundation of everything. It’s not about toxic positivity or pretending everything is fine. It’s about questioning the stories we’ve been handed and choosing new ones that actually serve us.
This isn’t a guide written from a mountaintop of achievement. This is me, sharing the practical shifts and powerful moments that have helped me dream again—louder, brighter, and more boldly than ever before.
💭 Moments That Sparked Change
I’ve had several eye-opening experiences over the years, but one that stands out happened during college. I was 27, a returning student with a toddler at home and big questions about what my future would look like. I ended up sitting across from a psychic who, without knowing anything about me, recommended a book: *Creative Visualization* by Shakti Gawain.
I’ll never forget sitting in my dorm room reading it—feeling like something inside me was waking up. It was the first time I realized I might have creative power over my reality. That moment planted a seed, one that would bloom again and again in the years to come.
🌿 Beliefs That Kept Me Small
Growing up, I believed that success, luxury, and overflow were for other people. That I had to work twice as hard just to keep up. That dreaming big was reckless. That wanting more was greedy. These beliefs weren’t shouted—they were whispered through circumstances, inherited through generational survival.
Eventually, I realized these beliefs were shaping everything—from how I showed up to what I reached for (or didn’t).
So I began rewriting the script:
- “I am safe to dream big.”
- “I am worthy of ease.”
- “Money flows to me in expected and unexpected ways.”
I didn’t believe these fully at first. But I repeated them anyway. And slowly, my inner world began to shift.
🧘 Embracing Mindfulness Without Perfection
I’ll be honest: I resisted meditation for a long time. Sitting in silence with my thoughts felt like punishment, not peace. But the more I leaned into the practice (imperfectly), the more I realized it wasn’t about clearing my mind—it was about listening.
Meditation became a place where I could meet myself without judgment. Just five minutes of stillness helped me reconnect with my center and reminded me that I am not my fears or my thoughts—I’m the observer of them.
Try this: Set a timer for five minutes. Close your eyes. Breathe deeply. When thoughts come, let them float by. No pressure. No performance.
📔 Journaling to Untangle Inner Stories
Journaling has always been my safe space. A place to say the things I couldn’t say out loud. A place to explore my truth without the pressure of perfection.
Some days I write affirmations. Other days I pour out doubt, fear, or gratitude. Every day, I gain clarity.
Prompt to Try: “What belief is holding me back right now? What truth do I want to live instead?”
✨ Visualization: Dreaming on Purpose
Visualization taught me to stop shrinking my desires. To feel the joy of a life that hadn’t yet arrived—but was already mine in spirit.
I started visualizing simple things: checking my bank account without anxiety, drinking coffee in a quiet sunlit home, booking travel without worry. And I felt it—as if it were already true.
That energy—that sense of embodiment—began to shift things. Not magically, but meaningfully.
Try this: Close your eyes and picture the version of you who already has what she’s been praying for. How does she walk? Breathe? Speak? Show up as her today, in small ways.
📚 The Wisdom That’s Guided Me
Throughout this journey, I’ve turned to teachings that reminded me of who I am and what’s possible. Some of the voices that have stayed with me:
- Change Your Thoughts, Change Your Life by Dr. Wayne Dyer
- Becoming Supernatural by Dr. Joe Dispenza
- Ask and It Is Given by Abraham Hicks
- Your Faith is Your Fortune by Neville Goddard
Each of these reminded me that we are not powerless—we are co-creators. Our thoughts are not background noise; they are blueprints
💪 Progress Isn’t Linear, and That’s Okay
Even with all the journaling, meditating, and visualizing, I still have hard days. Days where old stories sneak back in. Days where I question everything.
But I’ve learned not to shame myself for being human. I’ve learned to pause, breathe, and recommit. To choose kindness over criticism. To rest, not quit.
This isn’t about being perfect. It’s about being present. And choosing, again and again, to believe in what’s possible.
🌸 If You're Feeling Stuck...
I want you to know: you’re not behind. You’re not too late. And you’re not the only one who feels unsure.
Start with one small shift:
- Say something kind to yourself.
- Write down one dream.
- Light a candle and sit with your breath.
Let the small steps count. They always do.
Affirmation: “I am allowed to dream bigger. My desires are valid. My journey is unfolding in perfect time.”
💖 Final Thoughts
I don’t have it all figured out. But I do know this: the moment you decide to choose yourself—your peace, your purpose, your dreams—you begin to unlock a new version of reality.
You don’t need permission. You don’t need proof. You just need a willingness to believe that more is possible.
And if you're ready to start creating that version of your life, I invite you to explore the tools that helped me find clarity and direction.
