Pump Up Your Passion In 6 Simple Steps
JoAnna Carey, Carey'D Away Enterprises, LLC.
Love life. Lose track of time. Get caught up in the moment.
Choose to be not only present but truly, utterly involved in
the things you do. Sing, laugh, dance and play. Life really
is too short to not participate passionately in every
moment.
PUMP UP YOUR PASSION IN 6 SIMPLE STEPS:
1) Even when things seem to be going “wrong,” look for the
gem in each experience. Are you one of those people who take
the same route to work every day? Do you always eat at the
same restaurant? Do you choose the same parking space every
time you visit your favorite haunts? If you always do things
the same way, you will always get the same results. Be
willing to try something new. If you don’t like what you
try, you've got a perfect reason to try something new the
next day. If you do like what you try, it will give you the
confidence to continue to search for other things that add
joy and passion to your life.
2) View each situation you encounter this week as an
opportunity to live passionately in the moment. Here’s an
example: Your spouse or significant other is passionate
about historic facts and monuments. You are not as
interested in history but love to learn new things.
Therefore, when you travel together and visit notable
places, your partner focuses on the historic significance
and you focus on how this experience may apply to current
events. By slightly shifting your perspective, you will be
more able to become passionately involved in the moment.
3) Document some of the moments that stand out in your mind,
either good or bad, and notice how your attitude affected
the outcomes. Life really is about the journey. That is a
difficult concept for those of us who are always striving
toward a particular goal. Savoring the moment means allowing
yourself enough time to celebrate each victory before
rushing on to the next event. When you're working diligently
to live to your full potential, give yourself permission to
accept a reward: take a day off work, have a nice dinner,
visit a nearby attraction or park, plan a vacation, or throw
a celebratory get-together. Above all, acknowledge that you
accomplished what you struggled to attain.
4) Exercise regularly. An active lifestyle is vital to your
well-being. If you are so busy that you won’t schedule
regular workouts, start by incorporating daily routines such
as taking the stairs instead of the elevator, parking
farther away from buildings, walking instead of driving
whenever possible, even pacing and stretching at your desk
while on the phone. Being busy is not an excuse to neglect
your health. Exercise does not have to mean hours on an
exercise bike or trips to the gym. Give yourself permission
to improve your health and wellness without the guilt often
associated with weight loss as the only objective.
5) Pencil in a few appointments with yourself! Amid today’s
culture of information overload and multi-tasking, taking
time to “be” is a formidable challenge; grant yourself
permission to schedule a few minutes of nothing! Be a
trendsetter, write “alone time” in your calendar or take as
many non-working lunches as you can for one whole week. Find
at least 10 or 15 minutes each day to just sit quietly
sipping your drink of choice. Shun all outside input: no
idle conversation, no telephone, no reading, no radio, and
no television; the point is to just ‘be” with yourself and
your own thoughts. Use the time to think about where you
have been, where you are going and how to live in the
moment. This is not as painful as it may seem; difficult,
and maybe a bit frightening, but you won’t know if this can
help you pump up your passion unless you try.
6) Laugh at yourself! Don’t take life too seriously. Whether
you are happy, sad, embarrassed, confused, or even
indifferent, learn to laugh at yourself. It's impossible to
know everything. It's impossible to always do the right
thing. Being human means making mistakes, learning from the
experience and moving on to a new lesson. To live a life
full of passion, you will have to let go of the need for
perfection. When all else fails, look for a reason to laugh
at yourself. Let go of the need to control what will happen
next. Giggle, belly laugh, laugh until you cry -- but just
keep laughing and your pumped up passion is destined to
unfold.
Use these six simple steps to create a more passionate
lifestyle. When you decide to pump up your own passion you
also seize the opportunity to add joy to the lives of
others. A smile, a compliment, a small gift, or a card can
make a world of difference in every life that is touched.
Spread joy and your passion will soar!
