I've spent a great deal of time over the past couple of years trying to figure out what my passions are and what I want to do with my life. You think that would be an easy task, but no it isn't. At least it hasn't come easy to me.
We live in a world of distractions. The time of day not spent in school or work is occupied by extracurricular activities, church, television, movies, etc. Even our phones pull us back into the world by making us respond to all the many people in our lives.
What if you were able to become quiet enough to hear the voice in your own heart? What if you could hear that voice clearly, with nothing around to distract you and divide your attention? How would that make your life different? Would that make your life better?
Music is something that speaks to my heart. The right music calms my soul and helps me connect to the Divine. It can be extremely easy for me to lose myself in the song and allow my mind to relax enough to let go of all its holds on the physical world.
Letting go of the physical world is key to hearing what your heart guidance tells you. When you are focused on the physical world (and all its distractions), your mind has a firm hold of you. You are exposed to what your five physical senses pick up (sight, sound, taste, touch, smell) coupled with the information you have learned from this lifetime. These things are all distractions that take your focus off your heart.
Finding a simple activity you enjoy enough to lose yourself in can help you bring yourself back into this heart consciousness. Buy yourself some cheap paints and begin painting, or even crayons and paper. Sing silly or meaningful songs. Take a walk in the woods or on the beach. Listen to the call of the birds. Dance. Laugh. Play. Allow yourself the time to do those things that give you joy.
By allowing yourself even a little time to just let go and BE, you will find yourself stepping out of the "must-do" mindset, making it much easier to step into flow. Flow is the place where your heart is guiding you.
What is it that speaks to your heart? Do that!!!
