4 steps to creating your DREAM CATCHER Project
✨ Find your Skyspace
This first step is named after James Turrell’s Skyspace at Rice University, an incredible art installation I would often visit when I lived in Houston. Your skyspace might be a place you visit or a room in your home. It doesn’t matter. It’s a place where you can listen to your thoughts and actually hear them.
🎨 Choose your canvas.
Being a Creator can feel kind of abstract. Creativity loves constraints. So be specific about what your “medium” is. Is it cooking every recipe in a cook book? Writing 750 words a day? Painting a watercolor? Think about something you’ve been curious about making. Structure gives space for creativity to flow.
⚡️Law of 21.
Commit to a daily creative practice for at least 21 days: One week to feel awkward, one week to get into it, oneweek to keep going and prove to yourself you can do it. You will start feeling like a Creator. And you might even decide you want to keep going past 21 days. Treat this DREAM CATCHER project like it’s your job and show up every day. You won’t catch your dream on day 1. But through daily practice, you are going to show up with that Creator Energy and you’ll have more chances to be lucky.
🪞Get Visible by sharing what you’ve made on social, EVERY DAY
Get comfortable being seen trying, with all of the in-between and imperfect moments. In June I started a DREAM CATCHER Project by drawing with oil pastels and I posted my drawings on Instagram every day for 80+ days. A couple weeks after I had started posting my drawings every day on Instagram, I found Iona Holloway’s public speaking program called STAR POWER SPEAKER, and I signed up and completed her program in September. Drawing helped me get better at speaking. With dream catching you’re always opening up trap doors into new ways to pursue your work.
