Finding Passion in Serenity

So here it is springtime and yes it has been a rough winter, but now it's time for renewal.  A time for renewal of spirit, renewal of focus, renewal of commitments and a renewal of passion.

Why is it that spring always seems to be a time to re-focus our energies on finding new passions in our lives?  This mystifies me.  Shouldn't we always be looking out for passion in our lives and I am not necessarily speaking of romantic passion although it's nice if you do have this in your life, I am speaking about our daily search for finding something in our lives that has meaning, that drives us, that motivates us to move onto the next passion.

For most of my life I believe this was missing and now that I have found my strengths and my passions I have made this a mantra each day.  That being said there are definitely days were my passion, serenity and strengths get lost and take a sick day, but the key is to recognize that, not allow it to take you over and spend the time simply letting go.

Last week I had such a day - I overslept, having had a night were I tossed and turned, I dropped the freshly ground coffee all over the counter and had to grind more beans, I went out to get the morning paper to find it cool and drizzly and at the point decided that the only thing to was take the day off (I work from home).  I spend the entire day in sweatpants, cozy socks, drinking tea and reading a romance novel on my IPad.  I detached from myself, my email, and the world around me.  IT WAS WONDERFUL.

When I woke up the next morning I was re-charged and ready to locate my passion for day.  It was the best decision for me at time.

So I recommend that every once in awhile take a vacation day from the world around you and yourself.  Detach and detox.  It will help bring you back allowing you to re-connect with yourself, your passions and your serenity.

HAPPY SPRING!
BREATHE THE FRESH AIR AND FIND YOUR PASSION & YOUR SERENITY!
