One Positive Action

Start a “What If” List:

A “What If” list is all about letting your imagination run wild. Grab a piece of paper and write down anything you’ve ever been curious about or dreamed of doing. What if you opened a food truck? What if you took a year off to travel? What if you finally learned how to dance or started your own podcast? Nothing is too big or too weird. The whole point is to let yourself dream without worrying about whether it’s realistic or makes sense to anyone else.

This isn’t about setting goals or planning your future. It’s just about tapping into that part of you that wonders. Life can get so routine, so predictable, that it’s easy to forget we once had wild ideas about what was possible. A “What If” list is like a reminder that you don’t have to have everything figured out. There’s still room for adventure, for trying something new, for rethinking the path you’re on.

The cool thing is, once you get these ideas out of your head and onto the page, you might notice some patterns. Maybe there’s something on your list that feels doable, even exciting, and you start thinking about how to make it happen. Or maybe the act of dreaming itself is enough, it’s like giving yourself permission to explore without any pressure to act right away.

Let your list be messy, raw, even a little crazy. You don’t need to overthink it. Just let your mind wander and see where it goes. And if one of those “what ifs” ends up sticking with you, maybe that’s a sign it’s worth exploring further.

Dreaming doesn’t cost a thing, but it can change the way you see everything.
