Dream and Make It True: A Simple Way to Turn Your Goals Into Daily Intentions

What if you could stay connected to your goals with just five minutes a day?

That is the heart behind my Dream and Make It True zine, a printable mini-book designed to help you track daily progress toward your dreams in the simplest, most creative way possible.

A Page a Day, a Week of Intention

This small but powerful zine includes a page for each day of the week. You can jot down a daily goal, a moment of gratitude, or a reflection that helps you stay grounded and mindful.

It pairs beautifully with the Dream and Make It True Journal, which offers more space for quarterly reflections, deeper journaling, and creative storytelling. The zine is perfect when you want something portable and easy to maintain, while the journal supports longer reflections that help you notice your growth over time.

A Family Practice of Dreaming Together

When I first printed a batch of Dream and Make It True zines, I brought them along on a week-long family vacation. Around the table were relatives ages three to seventy, and before the week began, I taught everyone how to fold their own zine. Each person wrote down their intentions for the week, whether it was to rest, explore, create, or simply savor time together.

We did not fill in every page every day. Some evenings the zines sat quietly in the middle of the table, inviting us to pause. Other nights, they became conversation starters. Someone might say, “I did what I hoped to do today,” or, “I realized my goal shifted.” The practice of writing, even briefly, created calm and opened up meaningful conversations across generations.

Why This Mindful Practice Works

A study from Drexel University found that just 45 minutes of creative activity can lower stress and reduce cortisol levels. Even a short session of drawing, writing, or journaling can have a calming effect on your body and mind.

The Dream and Make It True zine helps you integrate mindfulness and reflection into your daily routine. It is small enough to carry anywhere and flexible enough to use however you need. Whether you fill it out every day or simply leave it on your table as a reminder to pause, it gently supports your mental well-being through creative reflection.
