Do What You Love: The
Passion Will Follow
©
2007 James Jarvis, M.A.
What You Love
May Not Make Sense!
Many people long for more passion in their lives and want to discover
what it is that they truly love to do. The problem most of us face is
that we want to figure the whole thing out in our head when the
appropriate place to figure it out is in our heart! In other words,
what you may love to do may not make sense to your head. It may even
seem at first to be impractical, implausible and downright scary! The
first question you may ask may be: "Yeah, but how can my heart
possibly help me discover what I love to do?"
Heart 5,000 Times Stronger Than Brain
In the past, "coming" from your heart didn't make sense
because we have always been taught that the heart was a mechanical pump
that's very useful but not too intelligent. New scientific studies
show, however, that the heart actually produces an electromagnetic
field that is 5,000 times stronger than your brain. This field can be
measured by scientific instruments up to 10 feet away from your body!
Heart Processes Info For The Brain
It's also been discovered that the heart acts like an organ of
perception, sensing internal and external events through its
electromagnetic field. It's interesting that "60% of the heart is
actually composed of neural cells, similar to those in the brain."
After the information is processed through the heart it is sent
directly to the brain for analysis! Maybe it's safe to say that
"following your heart" as well as your head makes good sense!
Paying Attention To The Heart
Listening to the intelligence of the heart requires that we suspend the
mind's analysis, judgment and critical nature long enough so we can
"hear" this deeper wisdom without editorializing (i.e. the
"yeah-buts.") Many people grow up not paying attention to the
wisdom of their heart because they were taught that it wasn't
practical. "Oh...it's great that you love to do that dear but make
sure you've got all your bases covered first!" In other words,
after the work is done you can go out and play and do what you love.
Giving Yourself Joy!
Re-discovering what you love to do in some ways is a commitment to
giving yourself joy. For me, it helps to have a list of the
"things I love to do" handy so I can remind myself to
incorporate them in my life. If I feel down or discouraged there's a
good chance that I'm not doing what I love!
What I Love To-Do List
You may also want to start creating a list of "what I love to
do." If you can't think of anything, use the contrast of what you
"don't want to do" to give you ideas of the opposite thing
that would give you joy. As you get used to "listening" to
your heart you will discover the difference between what gives you joy
and what does not. Consciously choosing to include actions that give
you joy will automatically change your state of consciousness. They
will also bring you closer to doing what you love to do...
passionately!
