Fantasy is a crucial part of crafting your long-term plans. However, if your idealized version of the future is bumping up against the present, pay attention. If you’re using your far-off schemes to escape what’s tough right now, acknowledge it. This will allow you to adjust your expectations, hold yourself accountable, and take off the rose-tinted glasses. You can weave more delight and connection into your goals not by only daydreaming about them, but by facing what’s true. And creating from there.
