For whatever it is you are trying to figure out right now, remember giving it space to breathe doesn’t mean you’re giving up. In fact, it’s a way to explore how things might come together in ways you didn’t expect. This can be especially true when it comes to dreams. At times, you may be wanting to immediately get to work or share it with others. But if you haven’t been able to get started yet and if you haven’t been able to receive the perfect response from others, that doesn’t mean you have to throw it all away this very second.
Write down your ideas or record them.
Come back to them in a few days (you could even put a reminder on your phone for a week from now that says “revisit that dream”).
Take the pressure off yourself from needing to sort through it right now, and let yourself look forward to reflection. Amidst all the rush of life, create spaces where you can be reminded that not everything has to be now or never. Not everything has to be something that other people “get” or can make sense of right away…including yourself. Create space to breathe wherever you can. – Morgan Harper Nichols
