Hi Everyone and welcome to my Soul Inspirations newsletter : "Re-igniting the passion"
I often consider the reasons why we lose sight of our true passions, why is it that life just gets in the way, why we find excuses for not doing the things that feed and nurture our souls. Surely, our entire body (that being our mind, body AND soul) is often focused on doing what we love most.
When we’re doing a job that we love, it often makes you happy, the days just slip by without that feeling of dread, when we say: “I’ve got to go to work today …” or “oh, the start of another week!”. Of course, I am not advocating that life is always perfect or that “stuff” doesn’t get in the way of pursuing your dreams and passions. When you’re dealing with the death of a loved one, it can be all consuming as many of you will know, and life can be temporarily put on hold, while you cope with the seesaw emotional roller-coaster. Equally, if you’re moving home or changing jobs, these are stressful times when your passions have to be put on the back-burner, as there’s often just not enough bandwidth in such a busy schedule.
But if you lose sight of your passions for too long, it can be self-destructive, as we all have to have dreams, aspirations, goals, and those passions that make up such an important part of our lives. By ignoring them for too long, it can leave a void in your life, a sense of emptiness and left too long ... it can ultimately cause more permanent issues, such as depression.
Of course, you don’t have to neglect all your usual commitments in life to pursue your passions. I know many people who are consummate multi-taskers, running the home, working, taking care of family, yet they still find time for a yoga class or some other pursuit to nurture the soul. By making an effort to incorporate your passions into your daily life can re-ignite the fire! You’ll feel excited, inspired and get to live your life with passion for what you love most again.
