Unlocking Your Dreams-

Guide & Workbook 

(PDF - £17.99)



 

Unlocking Your Dreams: A Guide to Finding Your Focus

 

I started dreaming when I was in my teens, during communism, when I yearned for something better, although I had no idea what that looked like exactly. 

 

This guide is the result of my journey. Stories that inspired me, lists and prompts I personally use, and even colouring pages to help you pause and reflect along the way:

 

  • Part One helps you identify what’s really important to you, what makes you happy, and how to reconnect with the dreams you may have put aside.

  • Part Two walks you through small, practical steps to turn those dreams into reality, without the pressure of unrealistic deadlines.

Why Don't You Just Leave?

Inside, you’ll find prompts and questions that guide you to reflect on what’s really happening, document your experiences, and reconnect with your own needs and desires. It’s a tool to help you focus, make a plan, and begin to imagine a life filled with the love and respect you deserve.

Dreambox Starter Kit

(£15)



Dreambox Starter Kit 

 

Sometimes we just need a reminder of where we want to be. Something we can see every day that keeps us moving forward, even when the steps feel small. Because when you see your dreams every day, you’re that much closer to making them real.

 

Use the pegs to hold onto memories, pop the stickers in places that will make you smile, or carry your keyring as a quiet reminder of where you’re heading.

 

It’s simple, but powerful. A daily nudge to keep your dreams alive and your focus clear. It's something that I started doing some time ago when I was struggling with moving on, with creating that future for myself that I wanted to be so different to my past. 

 

I hope this is little pocket vision board helps you on your way to building your own better future. 

 

 

What you get:

- 10 stickers (inspirational quotes, music, pets)

- 10 paper cards (white, blue, pink, light green) (L: 9cm; H: 2cm)

- 10 small pegs with lovehearts (red, blue, white) & 1m of string

- 1 hesian bag (W: 10cm; H: 14cm)

- 1 keyring with an inspirational message

•Additional 10 cards: £1
