Telegraph Herald - Rediscover your potential with these 3 mental hacks
Author: Lisa McLeod
Children are inherent dreamers. They have imaginary friends, create games and change direction all the time, viewing the world as a place full of possibility.
I watched my children start a new “business” every weekend, from lemonade stands, to jewelry made from sticks, to “ice sculptures” (i.e. frozen water balloons).
On a regular basis, children are asked what they want to be when they grow up. The options are endless.
But once we are “grown-up” (I use that term loosely) the dreaming slows down. We spend less time imagining and more time worrying.
In times of stress, our brain focuses on what we have to do vs. what we could do. Sometimes, without even realizing it, the dreaming stops.
