Ever notice how some runners, after completing a 26.6 mile marathon, seem EXHILARATED rather then EXHAUSTED?
Ever notice how some people after working 8-10 hours at their REGULAR job are “chomping at the bit” to get home and work on their new idea?
Ever notice those former “friend’s” or acquaintances who seemed to disappear a few years ago, drop off the map, go off the radar…only to show up out of the blue as a expert commentator on CNN?
What separates these people from everyone else..PASSION!
But…
For passion to sustain the long journey of your business and your life, it must have a front end and a back end.
The front end of passion is the blossoming intensity from which your passion is directed. This exploding energy is powerful, yet fits you so perfectly that it supports you with ease toward your big dreams and goals. It is an energy that comes from deep within your life force and cannot help being expressed outwardly in an enthusiastic and contagious manner. The front end of passion is a positive EXPULSION of energy!
However, if you are not prepared, this continuous momentum can deplete you in a flash. As a homeopath and serial entrepreneur, I understand that to win in Life & Business, a healthy body and mind comes first. Here are some simple tips that help to keep me feeling fit and on fire during the first 90 days of the year. When your health is a priority, you set the foundation of success for your business and your life!
1. Establish good nutrition. It’s easy to fall into fast food or snacking when you are so engrossed in your passion that you’re not taking the time to eat right. (Ask me about my “Eating for Entrepreneurs” matrix!).
2. Eight hours of sleep each night. Sleep is one of the most healing,energizing medicines, and it is absolutely critical for a creative mind. Did you know that sleep deprivation is used as a brainwashing technique? Without sleep, you are living in survival mode, which is the opposite of a passionate life.
3. Take a passion break once a week. Most of my creativity comes when I’m not working. When my mind is clear and I’m exploring or having fun, the ideas have room to appear. Turn off your phone. Shut down your computer. Go spend the day outdoors in nature, go to a movie, take a bike ride, or visit some friends. Talk about things other than your passion. (For a few minutes, anyway.)
4. Get physical. Especially if your passion is of the intellectual persuasion, you must get into your body. If you’re living from the neck up, your body needs to be enlivened. Choose exercise that you can sustain by doing activities that you will enjoy, such as dance, running, swimming, biking or boxing. Mix it up! It’s more beneficial to incorporate more than one activity to stimulate various muscle groups in the body. You will also stimulate the serotonin in your brain for more creativity and mood enhancement. You will prevent fatigue and burnout as you stimulate your cardiovascular system, get your blood pumping, and your billions of cells moving. Ahhhhhhh!
