I like to day dream.

I don't really remember my dreams at night -- maybe it's because I'm chronically sleep deprived, who knows -- but I'm an active day dreamer. It's both relaxing and purposeful for me. I know this is going to sound crazy, but most of the amazing things that I've accomplished or have happened to me I've daydreamed about before they happened. And <a href="http://www.everydaytreats.com/2011/12/life-list-update-51-the-one-i-didnt-dare-admit-to.html">then they do</a>.

I don't believe that there's some <em>The Secret</em> magic going on; I actually think it's quite simple. Daydreaming is like rehearsing for when the real thing happens. It's relaxing, because don't you feel better when you're prepared? Of course you do.

When I was little I was ashamed of my daydreams, but now that I'm all grown up I indulge in daydreaming as often as I can.

What about you? Are you a daydreamer?

<em>This post was inspired by my friend Whitney Johnson who has a new book out titled Dare, Dream, Do: Remarkable Things Happen When You Dare to Dream, I just started reading it and it's like talking to an old friend. It's available at bookstores nationwide, as we as on all major online retailers, including <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Dare-Dream-Do-Remarkable-Things/dp/1937134121">Amazon</a>, <a href="http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/dare-dream-do-whiteney-l-johnson/1106463480">B&amp;N</a>, <a href="http://www.indiebound.org/book/9781937134129">Indiebound </a>and others. Pivot Boston 2 was based on her new book. Congrats, Whitney! </em>
