Daydream believer
Dreaming a dreamers dream
Oh the joy of listening to a jolly song, especially one by The Monkees on a cold sunny Friday afternoon. Even more joyous when it plays on the radio whilst you stare out of the window daydreaming. Moment of truth, I should come clean! I’ve been procrastinating. If I call it daydreaming I feel less guilty and pardoned to indulge in guilt free mind wandering or so I once read in one of my many self help publications.
Do you daydream? Do you force it or do you find yourself being in this state of flow more often than not? I’m really intrigued to know as I'd like to connect with more daydreamers, procrastinators and budding non fiction authors. Or am I alone in the daydream vs procrastination mind war game? Answers on a postcard please…
I’ve committed to writing daily as a Tiny Habit (check out BJ Fogg) which has led me onto daily journaling, where I find myself grumbling and brain dumping more than creative journaling, which led me to newsletters and now Substack. ( Eek, I feel totally out of my depth on this platform).
Where was I? Ah yes, writing about daydreaming, procrastinating and journaling… I’ve promised myself to lean into ‘Morning Pages’ and take myself on ‘Artists Dates’ (check out Julia Cameron aka the creative guru of the universe). I’m on Day 391. Which is good going for me, for someone who quits quite quickly when starting a new habit or hobby.
As Substack sent us a post about LoveStack I just thought I’d start writing more regularly on my Substack profile, see if I can connect with any likeminded souls and find some interesting writers to follow
So please don’t be shy, say hi and I welcome any recommendations on who to follow here on sub stack. have a wonderful weekend.
Until the next time
PS. If you’re struggling to find the words to write or in need of an encouraging friend to help you get your life and thoughts onto the page, I highly recommend this book by the very talented Cathy Rentzenbrink
Hi Tanya. I felt I read this post at the right time in my life. After the lockdown I realised I needed a change in my life, and to incorporate more creativity into my life. I promised myself I'd do The Artist's Way programme this summer, which I've started but not enjoying at all. I'm only on week 2 but finding it hard to be consistent with my morning pages and the artist date. What was it like for you?
Yes I am a well known daydreamer! Even at school I got pulled up from the teachers continually to stop daydreaming... 😶🌫️ I am procrastinating right now as I should be finishing off an assignment that is due in tomorrow for my OU course, and as you can see, I’m on here instead! 🙈😂🤣
