On this week’s edition of the Mind Body Connection Series, I explore the primary importance of dreaming — not the sleep kind of dreaming, but the kind where your wishes are front and center in your life. I found this to be true in therapy, and using the knowledge of the mind body only adds to my conviction that to realize a dream, you must first HAVE the dream. 

This video helps you think through how to give up old dreams that either cannot be realized or aren’t even serving the function you’d want them to — making YOU happy. I discuss why these dreams are not good for us, and why they aren’t effective in getting us what we want. 

Finally, I talk about the key to happiness not being about getting what you want in external reality, but using your dreams to enact WHO YOU ARE. Related to the power column, we explore how you can use dreams to access your purpose and unlock new, powerful ways of living.
