    dream your way to success…

    I love my sleep and my dreams, so one of my favourite ways to use power thoughts is while I’m asleep.
    Dreams can be used to solve problems, just think of the phrase ‘I’ll sleep on it’! Each of us dreams in our
    own unique way. By using power thoughts you can program your dreams so that when you wake up you’ll
    already be in a more positive frame of mind and able to greet the day with a smile.
    Dreams are such an important part of my life and over the years I have kept journals, written my dreams
    down and shared them with my friends and family. Decoding them can also be a lot of fun and very
    insightful. Dreams help us become more balanced and when we wake up we often forget what we were
    dreaming and we are just left with an emotion. My friend Leon Nacson, a renowned Dream Coach,
    developed the system, which I use often, to develop positive affirmations to program our dreams, and at
    the same time have an effect on our waking life.
    Here is how it works: If you’re looking for a change and know exactly which power thought serves the
    purpose then go straight to the relevant page. If you are looking for a general pick me up or you are not
    sure what will quench your uneasiness choose a page at random. Write the power thought down, read it to
    yourself and then place it under your pillow. As you are falling asleep keep repeating this power thought
    as many times as you can. When you wake up, the very first thing you do is repeat the power thought. This
    is a very powerful way of reinforcing affirmations. I’ve chosen a few of the affirmations that I use
    regularly from Leon’s card deck that have worked for me.

    Make your own power thoughts… At the end of the book are some personal power thoughts that I have
    written myself. You can create your own too, specifically to suit your needs. Here are some guidelines to
    create an effective power thought:
    - Choose a phrase that describes what you desire. Short powerful statements work much better than
    long drawn out paragraphs.

    - Your statement must be in the present tense. For example use: ‘I am passionate about school/my
    career’ instead of ‘I will be passionate about school/ my career’. The first is working on changing
    your present circumstances while the latter indicates some point in the future and that might leave
    you always waiting!

    - Your power thought should always stem from a positive perspective instead of a negative one. For
    example, don’t use ‘I don’t like my career when I’m not passionate about it’, as this places your
    career in a negative light. Always phrase your power thoughts in a positive way. ‘I’m always
    passionate about my career’ is much stronger.

    - Your power thought should always be said in the first person, which is ‘I’. This is because the
    power thought is always about you. You can’t use a power thought about another person because you
    can only affect your own reality. Happiness has to come from within you before it can extend to and
    from other people.

    Keep moving … anything is possible… Keep this book close to you: on your bedside table, in your bag,
    on your desk. Choose a power thought or several every morning and decide which one will keep you
    moving towards your goals and dreams today.
    A lot of the thoughts and ideas in this book have come not only from my experiences but also from the
    wisdom of others. Being only 27 years old, I still have a lot of life experiences ahead of me and I’m sure I
    will come across a lot more challenges along the way. Life is a continuous journey and there will always
    be more lessons to learn, more journeys to take and more people who will impact on my life in various
    ways. I know what I have learned so far and will learn in the future will help to guide me throughout my
    life.
    I hope that some of these thoughts resonate with you the way they resonated with me when they came
    across my path and help you
