I love talking about this! Living passionately is so fulfilling, and understanding what inspires you is how to keep going when things can be discouraging. Discovering what drives you takes a lot of self-reflection, then editing your life to honor what you decided. Let’s figure it out together ♡
Write Down Your Thoughts
We think about a lot of things during the day and let them pass by. The busier you are, the harder it is to keep track of your aspirations. Keep a journal or have an app that’s dedicated to brain dumping. The more detailed you are, the more you’ll understand where your mind wanders. If you jot down your daydreams or frustrations throughout the day, then you’re closer to knowing exactly what you want and how you want it! You can then organize what you wrote down and start a plan to unleash your life’s potential.
Pinpoint Your Passion
First understand that everyone has their own unique purpose. Just because someone seems to share your passion, the measurement of their success with it is different than yours. For example, if someone has a passion for art, their success will be based on the media they use, their style, and how they want to distribute their work. They might feel successful after being featured in a gallery, while another artist feels like having a certain amount of Instagram followers holds more weight. You don’t have to model your path after what someone else decides is the best.
Think of what your favorite thing to do is. It can be something you enjoyed growing up or something you haven’t even started doing yet. If you have lots of interests, write them all down and go with the process of elimination to find the one you have the most attachment to. While you can be as versatile and jack-of-all-trades as you want, I think that focusing on one can really make it flourish.
Stay Inspired
Start off by cutting off anything or anyone bringing you down, holding you back, or spewing negativity. You might not realize the damage that keeping bad company is doing! Evaluate your daily life and notice what is draining you. What’s been stopping you from finding your passion?
Next, we can look for inspiration. Befriend people who have similar interests and that are supportive. Join a community and build your new life into what you’ve always deserved. Work on your talents and loving yourself fully, then inspiration will come to you easier than ever.
I personally love Pinterest and Landing for mood boards and visualizing goals. Use social media platforms to bring more of what you love into your space. Protecting your energy is important to stay motivated and avoid burnout! Watch TV and movies that give you a good feeling, listen to music that’s uplifting, and keep yourself feeling on top of the world.
Live Passionately
Take risks, love hard, and don’t give yourself too many “what ifs” to look back on. It’s better to have tried and to be known for trying, than to feel like a quitter. Only quitting is failure. Rejection is redirection! Constantly learning, improving, and growing is what keeps us having a fire inside us ♡
I hope this post helps you imagine your highest self and gives you the right mindset.
