When we’re engrossed in a pursuit that we love, time seems to fly by, and we enjoy a rest bite from all life’s challenges. We’re in our zone, and such is our delight, that frankly, nothing can distract us.

For that blissful period of time, we beam with contentment, love, and passion. We entirely believe in our ability, and we focus with ease confidently enjoying our pursuit.

Even if in other areas of our lives, we are less confident, or less able, when we’re in the midst of doing what we love, it’s almost as though we gain a superpower.

This invincible feeling is extremely useful, and subconsciously we transfer its positive energy to other aspects of our lives. So for instance, if you love running, then you’ll find cleaning your home after your run less of a chore because you are still vibrating in the happiest version of you.

But, in this lies the problem: we may not be doing enough of what we love doing, due to the demands of our busy lifestyles, work, or other commitments.  Other things get in the way, and if you overlook, what essentially is your bespoke self-care, then doing so will affect your soul and mood negatively. At the very least you might feel frustrated.

All too often our hobbies can lose priority, they are squeezed in at the end of the day, and before long, it’s a month or more since you laced up your trainers.

And in that lapse: your mood has sunk, and you could be saying all manner of unkind things to yourself. You have overlooked the importance of self-love and this soul-nourishing pursuit must be reinstated, for the sake of your wellbeing.

I for instance love writing, yet I have not enjoyed much commercial success, even though my books were stocked in a national retailer: sales were not great at all. But, I am lucky enough that I do it elsewhere professionally.

Yet, for a while, and due to loss, I stopped writing.

But, thoughts and words were queuing in my mind. Plus clients needed copy-writing, which I used as my fuel…

I feel so much happier now that I remember to write something daily. I no longer feel that it’s self-indulgent. I am almost at the end of writing my life story. I hope it might help others.

I am allowing my passion to be a part of my daily activities.

I am daring to do what I love!
