Traumschiff: Schluss mit dem Schamgefühl! Zeit, die eigenen Träume zu leben!

Hey ihr Lieben! Let's talk about something super important: living your dreams without the shame. We all have them, those "Traumschiffe" – those big, bold aspirations that sometimes feel… well, a little embarrassing to even admit. Maybe it's starting that business, writing that novel, or even just finally learning to salsa dance. Whatever it is, that little voice of self-doubt, that nagging Schamgefühl, can be a real buzzkill.

My "Traumschiff" Disaster (and how I learned to navigate it)

For years, my "Traumschiff" was opening my own bakery. I mean, seriously, who doesn't love the smell of freshly baked bread? But the thought of actually doing it? Terrifying. I let self-doubt – that pesky Schamgefühl – hold me back. "What if I fail?" "What if no one likes my bread?" These thoughts, man, they were relentless.

I spent years daydreaming, collecting recipes, even taking a few baking classes (mostly to avoid actually facing the reality of starting a business). It was like a constant loop of wanting something but being too afraid to even try. Total Selbstbetrug, right?

Then, one day, something clicked. I realised I was letting fear dictate my life. I was letting the Schamgefühl win. So, I decided to take the plunge. I didn't have a perfect business plan, I didn't even have a storefront lined up. I just started baking and selling at local farmers' markets. It was messy, it was challenging – okay, it was also a little embarrassing at first – but it was mine.

Turning Shame into Action: Practical Steps to your Traumschiff

Learning to silence that inner critic and actually pursue your dreams – that's a journey. But it's totally possible. Here’s what I’ve learned:

• Embrace the "ugly" beginnings: Don't wait for everything to be perfect. My first batch of croissants? Let’s just say they were...rustic. But I learned from my mistakes and each batch got better. Don't let perfectionism paralyze you!
• Find your tribe: Surround yourself with supportive people who believe in your dreams. Talking to others about your goals can help you overcome that Schamgefühl. Sharing your progress, even the struggles, can be hugely motivating. There are so many online communities now. Find your people!
• Break it down: Overwhelmed? That's normal! Break your big goal into smaller, manageable steps. Instead of "open a bakery," it became "bake and sell at one farmers' market." That felt much less daunting.
• Celebrate the small wins: Acknowledge your progress. Did you bake a decent batch of cookies? Did you make your first sale? Celebrate those wins, no matter how small they seem. That positive reinforcement is key.
• Reframe "failure": It’s not actually failure – it’s a learning opportunity. My "failed" croissants taught me valuable lessons about dough consistency and oven temperature. Embrace the lessons and keep moving.

Your "Traumschiff" Awaits!

My journey hasn't been a smooth sail (pun intended!). There have been setbacks, moments of self-doubt, and days when I wanted to throw in the towel. But knowing I was pursuing my dream – my "Traumschiff" – kept me going.

So, I urge you: What's your "Traumschiff"? Don’t let Schamgefühl hold you back any longer. Take a step, however small. Start baking those croissants, write that chapter, or sign up for that salsa class. Your dreams are worth it! And remember, there's a whole community of people out there, cheering you on.

Don't just dream it – live it! And let me know in the comments what your "Traumschiff" is – I’m rooting for you!
