Discovering Your Passion pt2

OK, are you ready to continue with some more tips to discovering your passion or true purpose? Yes, ok then, read on 🙂

Get Outdoors And Let Nature Inspire You!

If you’re just sat down on a sofa or chair right now, surrounded by 4 walls and a ceiling, you’re not alone! In fact, it’s the number one reason that more and more of us have no passion. Our progressively homebound, car-bound, office-bound, computer-bound life-style takes up a lot of our lives and saps our energy and enthusiasm. We just roll along, getting by. Where is the fire and passion in that?!!!!!

Do Something Different

This isn’t what our bodies or brains were built for. Throughout our history, we spent much more time outdoors and living an active lifestyle. Our sedentary life-style is a modern arrival but we’ve surely accepted it and many have grown to like it!

Convenience might be good, but lack of daily action isn’t good for us at all. We were designed to be active and sedentary living has been associated to pretty much every major health disorder of our times: as well as that, it can seriously cause a lack of passion.

So get off your butt and get outside! Switch off the television, push the ottoman away from the couch, lace your shoes and get outdoors for at least half-hour a day, plus a couple of hours every weekend. This surely isn’t too much to ask, is it? You’ll be doing you body AND mind a world of good.

Sure, we understand, you don’t have to go outside to get a great workout. But simply getting outdoors, appreciating nature and looking at flowers is a great way to alleviate depression and also sparks creativity.

There’s no clinical research to affirm it, but don’t you think it kind of makes sense that time spent outside adds to good health, higher relaxation, more fitness, or more passion. After all, whether you’re walking, gardening, biking, or simply getting the mail, being outside inherently means becoming more active than being indoors. It may not be on any medical groups prescrition pad yet (although that is changing and some General Practitioners in the UK do prescribe walking for some conditions), but we say, make more time outside among your top passion improvement goals.”

Here are a few ideas to inspire you to get outside:

Put on outdoor clothes as soon as you get home from work. For many of us, the clothes you wear for work are “indoor” clothes. Make it a ritual: arrive home, take off the suit/shirt/trouser etc. and jump into a tee shirt and jeans/shorts, and begin the 2nd part of your day anew.

Leave any crucial outdoor gear by the door. Outdoor shoes, sunglasses, a brimmed hat, sun block, and bug repellent all are crucial summer outdoor gear. Have them all prepared and ready for an impromtu excursion, and leave them by your front or back door.

Why not try matching meal times with outdoor time. If your dinner took twenty minutes then you know that you need to walk for at least twenty minutes outside after your dinner has gone down.

Do you like gardening? You do, good. Try to do some gardening tasks in small batches. Most of us tend to leave gardening jobs for the weekend and then this results in many hours of difficult work, the last few not really fun. Surely it would be much better to break this up during the week; just get into the garden for small 30-minute bursts throughout the week. Not only will this will get you outside more often, but you will be much less likely to get bored or fatigued as you are only working in short bursts. And best of all, come the weekend, your yard and garden will require only a little work, leaving you more time for play! Win-win all around!”

Adopt more nature walks. If you’ve adopted walking as part of your regimen, fantastic! So, what do you love doing outside? Whether it’s golfing, fishing, doing watercolors, shooting basketballs, playing badminton, playing with your dog, have your gear ready and waiting near your front or back door, ready for instant use.

Get Creative

There’s a huge myth in our civilization: that passion may solely be spontaneous. You either like your job or you do not. You either like working out or detest it. You’re interested in reading books or you find them awful. So there is this belief that passion can’t be coerced or produced. I don’t agree with this at all. Passion may be produced. Even for things you may not presently like.

By fine-tuning the activities and pastimes you engage in, you may discover a passion for anything. All it takes is a little patience and an open mind.

Changing It

The advantage of this is that you wind up loving the things you have to do anyways. Working out, learning, reading, working and nearly any pursuit can be made into a passion you enjoy and look forward to.

And if you understand how to do it, existing passions may be turned from mildly interesting to energising. The skill of discovering your passion is like turning up the dial for the quantity of color you have in life. Here are a few ways to find your passion:

Curiosity is the cornerstone of passion. Forget what you think you know about something and start from the view that you’re almost totally ignorant on the subject. Then seek novelty to boost your interest.

Make it a contest – create rules and objectives for yourself. The more imaginative you can be, the better. Be outrageous.

Set a particular goal and establish a (realistic) deadline. This can infuse routine actions with a greater sense of direction and purpose. Publishing a report goes from being only another task, to a creative challenge that challenges you.

Cut down distractions and get rid of noise. The more you focus on an activity the better you may notice that it has interesting qualities about it. The only really boring activity are the ones you aren’t pay attention to and this is all down to a lack of focus.

Discover ways to utilize skills you already have in a fresh endeavor. An artistic individual could draw images to help himself study. An athletic individual may be able to utilize her strength and endurance as a speaker.”

If an action appears to be too difficult for you to become enthusiastic about it, don’t worry. The key here is to not rush it and try to force it; allow things to happen naturally. Focus less on the outcomes and more about experimenting until you are able to develop the skill.

Conclusion

If you believe in something, are passionate about it and can clearly visualise the end result, you can feel a sense of certainty that you will achieve it. It’s no longer a question of if, but when. And this is powerful.

With this level of certainty you can quit stressing over what might or might not happen in the future because you know that you’re going to accomplish it and that’s final. Accomplishment merely becomes a matter of doing X to accomplish Y.

You can now live in the present because you know that your future is in your hands and you WILL achieve whatever you set out to do!

Set a direction for your life and love the ride!
