What if the only thing standing between you and your dreams was your old story?

No matter who you are (you don't have to be a writer) and no matter what has happened in your past (even if it was really bad), Write Yourself Into Your Dreams will provide you with a 12-step method for recreating the (short) story of your life in a way that makes your Greatest Dreams burst to life.

Teri is such an amazing author and has given us a must-read book with Write Yourself Into Your Dreams! In my own experience, I have been struggling to look deeper within myself and Teri has helped me start with writing out my life story and really understanding it as well as drawing patterns while analyzing it. It is a long journey through this and Teri makes you feel that the process doesn't need to be mastered overnight. I highly recommend this book even as I am continuing to read through it. Teri has a gift to help others and assist them with finding their own way by tapping into the unconscious mind!

Powerful Process to Rewrite the Past for a Better Future
The process that the author describes in this book could potentially be incredibly powerful and change your life. The author first tells us her story, giving context to what this book is and could be for you. Have you ever had a dream to do something big or different yet felt held back by insecurities and doubts because of your past? I think this is a problem for most (or at least many) of us. What this author encourages the reader to do and lays out in very precise steps is to, essentially, reframe your past so that it can be the springboard into the future that you want. The author writes with transparency and deep honesty about her own process and guides you through yours as an understanding and compassionate cheerleader. Frankly, I loved this book—its purpose, promise, and ultimate practicality with the step-by-step process given. If you feel you need to re-envision your past so you can live your dream, this book might help you get there.
I received a free copy of this book, but that did not affect my review.

What you long for is actually meant to be yours. 🦄🦄🦄
Write Yourself Into Your Dreams is a self help book by Teri Wade who talks about the ELS Method or the Essential Life Story Method to have a happy, fulfilled and generally better future.
This book focuses on how you can view your past from a different perspective to influence your future.
It also talks a lot about how parental influence can affect what you think you can and cannot do and how focusing on what you want rather than what is expected from you if you are determined and are ready to work hard to achieve your dreams.
There's a written exercise at the end of each chapter to help you better understand what you have just learnt from the chapter and comprehend it to the fullest.
E.g. What fears or concerns do you have about how the process of using the ELS Method will go for you?
🦄🦄🦄
There's an interesting sentence that the author uses in this book, “That’s the story of my life—" and how people use it in a negative way rather than a positive way, and I realized that I'm one of those people, and I realized something else, “That’s the story of my life— I'm Blessed".
🦄🦄🦄
Rated 10/10

The Essential Life Story Method is, indeed, the most essential way to lastingly change your reality that I have ever come across. Teri Wade's guidance is both personal and natural, like the railing on a rope bridge. The exercises in her book are deep, supportive, and integrative. They led me to write the story of my life that supports my dreams in coming true. Write Yourself Into Your Dreams is infused with Wade's desire for everyone's to.

This process helps you to truly change your thoughts instead of trying to divert them. When you change the story in the right way (which the author shows you how to do) you won't have to divert your mind anymore. Your thoughts will naturally be more positive after using this method, without having to try and make them more positive.
.
Changing the story is necessary if you want to change the negativity in your mind.
And to know how to change your story this book is a must read.
.

1. To change your life, you have to change your thoughts.
2. Thinking in the accurate perspective is very important.
3. You deserve to have all of your needs.
4. Prioritize your intuition over outside advice.

PERSONAL COMMENTARY

3. The language is lucid.
4. The terms are explained briefly and in an understandable form.
5. The ELS letters concept is interesting (I didn't try it yet).

If you are someone who on an edge and not sure about your dreams and how to make them come true, I think this book is for you and not just for you but I think it's for everyone who is in their 20's basically.
.
The book is so well crafted, it's such a short one but it's extremely an insightful one. I have personally learned a lot from the content of the book and it actually makes us realizes of what we lack for making our dreams come true. The language had a flow, it was smooth and lucid and at no point I thought it was dragged or stuck. If you are looking for a short yet a beautiful life changing book, try it. I will definitely recommend it.

#Insight- Our memories comprise of both good and bad ones. And what we do according to our instinct is remember the bad ones and use them to define our life. This book tries to change that through the ELS method. It tells us to use the positive memories, instead of the negative ones, to define our life. The ELS method, along with many examples, and inspirations are explained in the book.
#Review- The ELS (Essential Life Story) method is basically about changing your perspective of your own life, and taking control of it, along with the divine power you believe in, which the author calls source.
In the first few chapters, the author tells us about the ELS method, how she conceived it and how she used it to change her own and many other people’s lives. Further in the chapters, the method is explained in detail step by step with external links for resource materials for the ELS method.
An important thing in the chapters is that the author knows exactly what problems the reader might face, like being discouraged and leaving the method in between, and she writes that it’s okay. This feels like the author really understands people and going through hard times.
#Drawbacks- Although it is a self help book, in the beginning it needs to have more examples or short stories of success to make the reader take interest.
#Strength- The way the book is written, the author is telling the readers that it’s okay to be in problems as long as you’re trying to find a way out. The writing style makes the book a guide, not just a self help book, but your own personal Guide.
#Target Audience- For Everyone who thinks their past is stopping them from advancing into their future.
#Rating 4.2

The author takes you through her self-developed Essential Life Story method, which she has been optimizing for more than a decade. It involves writing a five-page life story that changes your beliefs and helps you bring your greatest dreams to life.
The book consists of 12 chapters with specific written exercises, all leading up to making your story as powerful as possible. From your intention, to your old life story, to your biggest obstacles, to old beliefs, you will experience quite a few realizations and breakthroughs that will bring you closer to a fulfilling life.
In the end, the individual parts, experiences, insights and outlooks will be put together with an ideal ending to complete your new story, that will help you manifest your dreams.
Completing the exercise has been a truly profound experience, that unlocks a lot of old ways of thinking and helped me move on. The cool thing is that the method doesn't help you achieve one specific goal or dream, but instead it's a framework that can be applied to anything.
Brilliant book, unlike anything I've ever read before!
