Interior Design Coaching Tip Of The Week – Igniting Your Passion & Achieving Your Flow State
Be true to your inner compass and your life will reach a flow state that is unbelievable.
I’ve had several epiphanies or flashes of inspiration in the last few weeks. As I’ve shared them with you, each revelation leads to another level of insight that is truly amazing.
For me, I have to hear a concept a few times (OK…maybe many times) for it to sink in and become part of my life.
I’ve been thinking a lot about the 80/20 rule and how 80% of your results come from 20% of your activities. Although I “know” that, applying it diligently isn’t always so easy. Why is that?
I think it is because we forget to focus on what really ignites passion in us. Why do we lose that connection to our passion?
I think it is because we let negativity, fear and feelings of being overwhelmed take over our thoughts and they poison us.
Let me share a hint of the story with you. On April 19th, my husband shared a Parade article with me about Greensburg, Kansas and how the town was demolished by a tornado two years ago today. I vaguely recalled the story, but the depth of it didn’t register until he mentioned that the anniversary date was May 4th…our wedding anniversary.
Sometimes, there is so much to do that it is easy to get caught up in the busyness of life and then we lose the connection to our soul. These people lost everything, and they decided to rebuild their town as a green city.
The story flipped a switch in my head, and all of a sudden, my emotions were fully engaged and I sent a few emails to some influential people, and I started the week with resolve and determination that I haven’t truly felt at that deep emotional level for quite some time.
I called the Mayor of Greensburg, and toward the end of the end of the conversation, he said that he truly believes that their calling is to inspire others. He even joked that the forefathers had the great foresight to call it “Greensburg.”
I focused on the 20% activities and in just a few days, monumentally huge things happened. I was in the flow, and my passion and emotional energy gave me courage to do things that I couldn’t even believe.
By Friday, April 24th, Erin and I looked at each other in total awe…we knew we had just experienced that “flow” that most top athletes feel and it was intoxicating. Have you felt this?
We are still shaking our heads, and we are also feeling exceedingly grateful for this flip of the switch. What I know is that I want more of that in my life, and there is no doubt in my mind that the power of our thoughts is incredible.
Focus on what you do best and do that first. If you can ignite the passion within you, things will happen easily and effortlessly. Everything becomes easier and more rewarding. Is that enough motivation to find the flow in your own life? I hope so.
Happy Anniversary Harry.
