I've made a 'to do' list called a 'Peace List'. I've printed and stapled them together to make a week's worth of goals. They fit comfortably inside a moleskin diary.

I am going to use them to help me stop worrying and start living and investing in my dreams every day.

WELCOME TO DREAMWATCHERS

In my late 20s and early 30s I've noticed that moving cities and meeting new friends can be really hard. I don't go to church and I don't really want to hang out in clubs and pubs with eighteen year olds. The lack of community affected my mental state. I found it harder to 'get out there' and live my life to the fullest. It seemed as though my dreams were harder to reach for in the absence of mates. Surely there was a way of meeting people in a meaningful way?

I decided to start a club called 'DreamWatchers' modeled off 'WeightWatchers', where people join up and meet up physically to 'weigh in' on how they've progressed towards their dreams. It's also like a book club, but the book you study is yourself.

As a member of 'DreamWatchers', each day you try to do at least twenty minutes worth of action that furthers your progress manifesting your dreams. That time can include meditation just as much as mediation. Keep a diary of your thoughts, reflections and actions. At the very least keep track of how long each day you have worked on your dreams.

Then, find other people close to you geographically who want to talk about manifesting their dreams too. Invite them over for a meeting and drink tea, eat something delicious or have a glass of wine. Each person talks about their dreams in turn; both the progress and difficulties they face.

I think the power of physical community to encourage, support and inspire the extraordinary is underestimated in an itinerant, post-religious world. But I particularly think there is a lack of space and time devoted to the announcement and narration of unprecedented paths.

To start your own DreamWatcher Observatory, just point your friends to this community and invite them to an event and get going!

This group is designed to help facilitate introductions and discussion. Feel free to start your own blogs and events to keep meetings on track.
