Is it healthy to fantasize about your life?
Is it healthy to fantasize about your life being different? Meaning when you lay down you actually have detailed daydreams bout your life being different?
I fantasize constantly about different situations.... 1 is that I have this gorgeous home and a super cute body and own my own little business and I really go into detail and play these scenarios over in my head over and over until I fall a sleep. So is that healthy to do? At the moment that I'm thinking about them it makes me really happy but then sometimes when I wake up to reality it makes me bummed and sad that those fantasies will never be reality. Does anyone else do this?
Of course it's healthy. Nothing wrong with that at all.
When fantasizing about my life, personally, I usually think about where I want my life to be at some point in the future. Then I set goals for that vision and work towards it. Even if my vision seems so far off, I'll never get any closer to it by doing nothing.

You don't say how old you are, but it is normal for a young person to wonder what life holds and expect that they will never get anywhere. At least that is how I felt when I was young. But I have found out that by working hard and taking advantage of education and opportunities, the materialistic things you desire are achievable because your dreams are realistic. The having a cute body is more about being comfortable in your own skin. Whatever you are, you are, but how you feel about it is up to you.
I have but one lamp by which my feet are guided, and that is the lamp of experience.

Thanks for the feedback. I was feeling kind of guilty about thinking about this other life so much... its so great to imagine I often wish that when I go to sleep I could somehow jump into this fantasy life... wouldn't that be great to be able to control
I'd be more concerned if you had said you never fantasize about doing something different. You can still make all those things happen if they're what you really want. Start a fitness program and you'll have a cute little body in a pretty short amount of time. What kind of business would you like to have? Start talking to and reading about others who have one and devise a plan based on their experiences. There are plenty of folks out there who can help you make your dreams into a reality.
