PROLOG This playground is designed to encourage you to encompass your dreams, make them become a reality. Or you can use it just to sketch, make fun using the challenges or to test your friends by asking them quote-based questions. Beware: playing on this ground needs a lot of training, admitting limiting beliefs and patterns, and accepting your thoughts without judgment to free yourself from stress, pain and lack of fun. Are you still here? Ok, I'm going to guess - correct me if I'm wrong. You are reading this because you`re far away from what you planned in the past or:

•• You`re 100% determined to break off the existent way of living (you wish your dreams to come true). •• You can’t imagine how much action is needed and how to get out of your comfort zone. •• You`ve nothing funnier to do at the moment :). [I hope I`m wrong about the last one and you just want to use this planner to ease your daily routine.] Now, ask yourself: ''Do I deserve a better life, no matter what others would think about me?'' Yes? Ok, how about this one: ''Do I think I can start living my dreams by reading this material?'' Sorry, but I don’t think so. Why not? Massive actions are needed if you want to start enjoying your life through living your dreams again. The good news is you can feel those actions as a relaxing daily training or candies or kisses or ... whatever you love. The next incentive feeds can help you. You might feel the needed actions are no big deal if you focus on the result (your dream) instead of focusing on the work you need to accomplish.

•• What if you start living your dreams (imagine you do)? How do you feel? •• What if you could always wake up empowered? How do you feel? •• What if you could let go off your limiting beliefs and become a person you've always dreamed? Are you ready to feel this? Well? •• You can continue with setting empowering questions that act as an incentive to you. I think we all can live a more fulfilling and enjoyable life and we are just a choice far from that. How about you? Now what? Continue on the next page and start asking yourself about your dreams and what stops you from living them. Do you want to live your dreams? I strongly hope you can show your inner power and possibly share it in your community. Be aware of the moments! They`re your life and well worth recording.

HOW TO USE Use it as you like. This playground provides many independent parts to play as a solid reality building point. When I built this playground book, I collected the issues that were important for me. I found lots of passion in observing ''my dreams'' and making them a reality. Some of them where set brilliantly, others failed or have changed over time. However, I used to make notes on little stickers and later I realized they were lying all over the place. And I continued that way. It was good, but it could be done better. Like this note-to-dream workbook. Probably I'm going to use it in the following way (but cannot guarantee that's the perfect way; not even for me): 1. My dreams & challenges: warm up before training. Make your mind work for you. I recommend you write all of the checkpoints with pencil, so you can modify them more easily later. 2. Month (once per month): a little stretching. Whenever something big crosses your mind as a reminder, you can write it down here (write a great idea and what you want to do). I recommend you use monthly layouts to compare them with the layouts from months before (what`ve you done with that great idea from last month?). 3. Today's note: training is getting serious. You practice challenges I set for you. I recommend this training once per period (week). 4. Week: brain muscle training with quotes. Evaluate today`s joy, think about a quote and write it down, do something to increase/share daily joy. Divide monthly checkpoints in daily “to-do marks”. 5. Reminders I: checkpoints about your trainings. Continue observing and filling the form during the period. 6. Reminders II: extra checkpoints to improve training observation. Write best incentives for fulfilling your dreams and celebrate as much as possible (don’t wait for tomorrow, it might never come). 7. Reminders III: first match. Make Test yourself at the beginning and again later to observe the improvements.

GUARANTEE IT WORKS There is 100% guarantee it won’t work if you keep waiting for a miracle. You are a miracle. It’s up to you to renew your life`s passion and your dreams. Do what excites you and don’t wait. It’s nothing wrong if your goals change, if your heart wants to be unique, if higher force leads you. As far as you act from the hearth, follow you inner voice and do what excites you in a moral way, you are synchronized with your dreams. Dig it and do it.

MY PLAN TO LIVE A DREAM III. SIMPLICITY

TEST

Can you imagine the number of things you`re focused on? What if you free yourself from some of them and start focusing on beauty instead, on the things that empower you? Can clothes food to-do list money issue you simplify (also minimize): ruminating on news shopping stuff ruminating on whatever other possessions relation expectations ... complete the list yourself How do you feel after 1 month of simplifying (pick one issue from above)? _______________________________________________________________________________ How do you feel after 2 months of simplifying (pick more issues)? _______________________________________________________________________________

NATURE HARMONY

Can you .. Yes, of course you can imagine yourself surrounded by nature. But can you collaborate with it (learn from it, enjoy its beauty...)? Nature is a plant, a star, a mineral, an animal and you â&#x20AC;&#x201C; yeah, you, too. What did you learn from it lately? _______________________________________________________________________________ Can you see how beautiful life can be and still so simple (no extended money goals, no possessing things and no attachments ...). Can you find an example in nature? Name it: _______________________________________________________________________________ Can you observe it and learn from it? What have you improved after 1 month (or suddenly) of observation? _______________________________________________________________________________

EXCITEMENT

It helps to simplify and learn from nature. What follows is increasing your joy by doing what excites you. What can you improve after 1 month (or right now) of observing your behavior? _______________________________________________________________________________ Possessing things is ok, but don't fall for distractions only things can make you enjoy. You are the master of your thoughts and feelings. Happiness is there. You can take it, you don`t need any extra means. And you can lift your feelings by sharing love and positivity (jokes are allowed here and saying hello to a stranger, too). What can you share with other people? _______________________________________________________________________________ f You can also share it if you go fishing on QR lake (code on the left). What can you confess to yourself? Imagine you are 100,1% honest with yourself (remember your childhood dreams). What`d you like to say to yourself (and make this a reminder)? my school/job is not what I want to do I lost passion I think my body is not pretty I'm trying to satisfy others (boss, parents...)

I have too much stress because (name it):

_______________________________________________________________________________ I'm not relaxed because (name it): _______________________________________________________________________________ Other: _______________________________________________________________________________ Be grateful for the path you've walked so far. Now go to your main challenges again and modify them !

THE ONE Many monthly challenges are taken from the board game The One. In the game ''challenges'' represent cards which give a player a task to resolve in order to progress and satisfy a Bright force (it's a special role in the game). It seems a challenge is likely accepted when shown as a part of a funny issue. In the game, a challenge can be spread on all players, so everyone deals with the funny issue and the momentum strives to take a subconscious way of challenging one's identity or behavior. Other challenge cards (available on Be.JoyReminder.com) You can use them seriously or as something entertaining. I say, let's build fun. Life`s not too short nor too long. LIFE JUST IS! Feel the moments!
