Allowing Yourself To Dream ~ Karen Leslie

02/22/23 • -1 min

Cultivating Kindness With Karen Do you have dreams for you? And, I don't mean the dreams you have while sleeping. Allowing yourself the pleasure and experience to dream is vital to our happiness and growth. This was a big surprise for Karen. The concept of dreaming and the idea to actually sit and create a dream for herself was totally foreign to her. Not having a dream, or dreams, caused confusion and depression. Not understanding the importance of looking into the future and imagining what would be fun to do limited Karen's ability to create her present reality. In this show "Allowing Yourself To Dream", Stress Recovery Expert, Karen Leslie will share what allowing herself to look ahead in her life, and then to begin to dream, has created for her.

Her life of depression, anxiety and suicidal thoughts has led her on an interesting, and at times, turbulent path to where she is today. Kindness was definitely missing in Karen’s life. Karen was always kind and compassionate to others, however she was not showing kindness to herself. Today Karen knows that kindness towards others was actually a way of avoiding her own wounds and sadness. These choices created a life of ‘people pleasing’, keeping the peace and avoiding conflict; especially if it involved having to say “No” to someone else. Karen knows now that everything we do to help ourselves from the neck up will help everything from the neck down. Karen now lives each day with enthusiasm, excitement, an openness to new adventures and a great deal of kindness towards everyone, most especially herself. www.karenleslie.ca To get more of Cultivating Kindness With Karen, be sure to visit the podcast page for replays of all her shows here: https://www.inspiredchoicesnetwork.com/podcast/cultivating-kindness-with-karen/

Cultivating Kindness With Karen When you look at who you will be tomorrow, will you be the same person you are in this moment? Can you even imagine, for a few seconds, that you could be a new or different person? How does that make you feel? For many people it is very uncomfortable to think about changing. To think about what it would be like to show up differently at home, at work, or at school. There is a lot of comfort in knowing what is expected from you and how you are to present yourself.
