“How to Shift a Back Burner Passion to Front and Center”
So here is the thing about passions - You already know what they are! And that is a good thing. Now, how do you uncover them? How do you bring them Front and Center?
Some of us use our intuition, evolving awareness through life experiences, while others relate to an “AHA” or life changing moment. I find I use all three and perhaps you do too.
Let’s acknowledge a life without passion is quite ordinary. My intention in the 2nd Half of Life is to live life to the fullest; to take responsibility for my Happiness, Peace, Health, Love, Vitality, and Right Relationships. Living life to the fullest requires true passion, and to come from my authentic self (the inside-out). Therefore a shift from an ordinary life to an extraordinary life occurs. And that’s a good thing indeed!
Here are 3 ways to bring your Passions Front and Center:
-
Close your eyes take a breath and think about what you loved doing as a child? What’s the first thing that comes to mind? The Second? So was it making people laugh, reading a book, singing along with your favorite songs or being a helper in the kitchen baking cookies?
ACTION: Make a list. Know that the seeds of your passions lie in what you loved doing as a child. Many experts say this is the time when we are closest to our true authentic self.
-
Presently in your everyday life, when are you in the FLOW; meaning when do you lose all track of time? What turns you on or lights up your life? When are you smiling a lot?? Is it when you are engaged in politics, fashion, the stock market, show business, architecture? And the list goes on.
ACTION: Brainstorm as you create your present day list. If you had all the time in the world what would you be doing? This is a clue to your passions.
During this month take a day off from the ordinary and create your ideal day. For many of us it will be on the weekend. What would that look like for you? Are you getting excited about doing this? You might be saying I want 2 days off from the ordinary!! This means the dry cleaning may have to wait till next week or the car gets washed during the week. Your ideal day may be staying in bed all day listening to music, watching movies and reading. You get to make it up. Shake up your Spiritual, Mental, and Physical chemistry! Create something different.
ACTION: Set the date on your calendar. Decide what lights up your life from your childhood and present day lists. Embrace it. Act on it.
What does this have to do with your Dream Business, Book or your Photography? Everything!
You can also take this a step further by seeing how you would like to see your life 1 year, 3 years, and 5 years from now. “Resolutions Kept” is a great way to get support for this Baby Step and for the questions to ask yourself below. Click Here.
Questions to Ask Yourself Are:
-
What would you be doing for a living?
- Who is in your life? Who is not?
- What environment are you choosing for your 2nd Half of Life?
Enjoy the process. Have fun with your baby steps. Thank yourself each day for doing the action. Love yourself more and more. Be in the Flow.
Acknowledge Embrace and Act!
