I wrote this topic down months ago as something I really wanted to address. I knew, however, that the best words would only come during a time of abundant get-shit-done thoughts and lots of positive action. Sure I feel positive most days, but every now and then I feel like the universe brings me powerful karma and places faith in me, reassuring me that what I work hard and invest will succeed.
This week feels like one of those times. My business in digital marketing has been alive and thriving for four years this month. I love every second of running and growing my business including the stress, the ups and the downs and the opportunities I am confronted with to problem solve and innovate, especially in a workplace that demands the most prestigious of work ethics. As the years have gone by, I realize that it's not just digital marketing that I love, but taking something from nothing and making it worth talking about. I thrive off of creating and using my resources to make something great. I've known for quite some time that I would be a business owner to multiple businesses and in the recent weeks, I have launched my second business. WOOWOO!
That being said, I can't help but look around at my peers and friends and feel some of their struggle. The questions about what steps to take, what career choices to make and "What do I really want to do forever?" After some thought, and absolutely no science to back this up, I have a theory. A theory that suggests my generation is filled with dreamers. You must think, "That's great, we need dreamers!" Absolutely. The issue arises when dreaming becomes both the first and last step in our thought and action process. We have created an environment filled with "I'm unsure," "Stay in school forever," "Do lots of internships," "Just travel," and "Take some time off." This is so problematic. Here is why:
Dreaming is necessary but pointless if we never wake up and implement. Dream on, friends, but dreaming is not doing, and not doing will get you nowhere. Let there be no confusion, I never recommend you stop dreaming. I dream constantly. I write down every dream I have and mentally work towards obtaining it (this blog is a great example). What good does dreaming do me if I don't put plans together and make it come to fruition? There's a few things to know including the fact that no one will ever accomplish your ambitions for you. Additionally, getting caught up in a dream and not acting on it can be quicksand. Ask yourself what you're waiting for and get going. Before you know it, it's been years since you've graduated and you're still deciding what's best.
As young children, we are taught to dream big and know we can become what we want. I believe this message is quite beautiful, infinite and also important as we grow up and imagine our futures as citizens, family members, workers and business owners. There comes a time, however, when we need to stop letting our dreams influence our do's and let's our do's influence our dreams. Here's what I mean: How will you ever know what you want or don't want to do if you don't get out there and DO? I talk to my college classmates and other friends often about it and I say it repeatedly.
In addition to the note above, I think it's important to acknowledge that a lot of your experiences to date have and will continue to mold your dreams. There are probably things you love doing now that you may not have ever imagined could be a career path. Side note: Once you realize this, prepare to have your mind blown and expect a beautiful life change. We are so caught up in what our degree is in and or our lack of certainty for our next career path we put ourselves back in school for something we have no desire to really pursue long term or rather wait around for something great to happen to us. Think about past jobs, past people you've met, internships and really anything that may give you a reliable idea about how to make your dreams actionable items that you can grow and learn from.
I want you to know that nothing I talk about above is easy, at least not for me. It takes courage, strength, passion and a relentless hunger for success and forward movement to be able to take action on your dreams and desires. Yes, it is easy for many people and we see them experience great success all around us. I have to actively focus on my ability to do in order to keep doing and I'm ok with that. I have no natural born special talents or sixth senses that allow me to do and you'll learn that most people don't. It makes the process even more beautiful and I encourage you to find out where you stand and figure out your next steps.
What is your dream and how can you make it happen? Remember, hard doesn't mean impossible. Will there be dreams and endeavors you fail at? Damn right. Will it suck, be stressful and make you second-guess yourself? Absolutely. But then you get up, re-dream, re-assess and keep going. Again, no one else in the world will do it for you! Onward friends. No more waiting for something to happen to us. Opportunities come fro doing! Feel free to bounce your ideas off of me anytime, I love this stuff!
This is where your story starts to matter, where you begin to make a difference. It's where ideas and action meet, where we stop dreaming and start living. There is tension here. And risk is inevitable.
If we opt out, we may become bitter, disillusioned. We can grow to think that this whole dreaming process is a farce. Like Segismundo, we may get lost in our dreams, questioning when we are living and when we are merely dreaming.
Hanging out in coffee shops and talking about one day being a writer or missionary or entrepreneur is the worst thing you can do. It's destructive and antagonistic to doing the work of becoming your dream.
You have one and only choice. I hate to put it into such macabre terms, but there's no other way: Begin living your life, or start planning your funeral. Get busy living, or get busy dying.
It's Sleep Awareness Week from March 8 to March 14, and Allure is talking all things rest, from what happens when we don't get enough to how to make the most out of our time between the sheets.
My rigid internal clock forces my body into sleep and forces it back awake at almost the same time every night and day, regardless of whether I'm using an alarm. I imagine that the moments just after I've fallen asleep look similar to the way they do for you: an endless black abyss. Sleep takes hold of me quickly, and when it happens all I see is that darkness for what feels like a few moments before I'm waking back up. My brain rarely wanders off into other territories during sleep, at least to my knowledge.
Every now and then I wonder: If I'm not dreaming, is there something inherently wrong with me? Is it possible to sleep wrong, and am I doing that? Can not dreaming lead to cognitive issues for me in the future? I asked sleep experts to help me piece together the answers so I can finally put those worrying thoughts to bed.
My concerns about the fact that I rarely recall having dreams is hinged to one foundational question: Does dreaming serve any physical or mental benefit that the sleep itself doesn't? According to Rafael Pelayo, a clinical professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at the Stanford Center for Sleep Sciences and Medicine, doctors have gathered evidence surrounding multiple hypotheses about this. Dreaming, he says, has multiple functions, according to research, but he likens the primary and most recently discovered one to the tiny wastebasket that sits underneath your office desk and gets emptied after you've left for the night.
What Pelayo means is that, in layman's terms, your brain needs to be able to reprioritize information depending on how relevant it is to you at a given time. He gives the example of a person who lives around lions (strange, I know, but bear with me). A person living around lions would likely categorize cats as dangerous. Therefore, that person would need to remember specific characteristics of a lion, like its smell, so that they can avoid the danger of running into one. If that person moved to another area where there are no lions but plenty of domestic cats, their brain would need to forget certain details about lions in order to make room for new ones about other cats. Dreaming would be a part of that process.
Kelly Baron, a clinical psychologist and associate professor in the division of public health at the University of Utah, offers a similar sentiment on the purpose of dreams, which mostly occur during rapid eye movement (or REM) sleep. "It is thought that REM sleep is involved in re-activating memories and helping cement pathways in the brain between short-term and long-term memory formation," she explains.
That theory on dreaming's purpose is heralded by Matthew Walker, a professor of neuroscience and psychology at the University of California, Berkeley. He's also the founder and director of the Center for Human Sleep Science. He delves deeper into his findings of the benefits of dreaming in his book, Why We Sleep: Unlocking the Power of Sleep and Dreams, but in short, he equates dreaming to emotional therapy.
"Dreaming has the potential to help people de-escalate emotional reactivity, probably because the emotional content of dreams is paired with a decrease in brain noradrenaline," he writes in UC Berkeley's Greater Good Magazine. In other words, dreaming "allows us to re-process upsetting memories in a safer, calmer environment." It also helps the brain "cogitate vast swaths of acquired knowledge and then extract overarching rules and commonalities," just as Pelayo and Baron summarize.
You likely already know a little bit about REM sleep from your middle-school science textbooks. You usually have multiple REM cycles overnight wherein your eyes twitch, you breathe heavily, and your muscles relax into an almost paralytic state. The last REM cycle of the night, which happens in the final few hours of sleep, is when Pelayo says a majority of dreams happen.
