Ever catch yourself daydreaming? You find yourself thinking about how cool it would be to start your own business, travel to that exotic locale or write a novel. But most the time when you start daydreaming, nothing gets done. An exercise I\u2019ve found helpful in converting daydreams into reality is planning without commitment<\/em>.<\/p>\n I believe the reason people don\u2019t act on their daydreams isn\u2019t because of fear, laziness or low self-esteem. The problem is that when most people try to take there daydream and put it in the real world, it is quickly overwhelming.

Just ask yourself a few questions purely out of curiosity. Here are some questions you might consider asking yourself right now:<\/p>\n What would I need to do in order to…<\/p>\n The next time you catch yourself fantasizing about something, just step back and ask yourself what you would have to do to get there. No commitment, no pressure to actually take on the goal. Just ask yourself what it would take. The surprising truth is that when you finally get the curiosity to figure out what you would need to do, it often isn\u2019t that much.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Ever catch yourself daydreaming?
