Living a Passionate Life – How to Believe in Yourself

Designing a passionate life requires belief in yourself, your Source, and the process. The first step is to decide that you want your life to look differently and that you want to be passionate about your life. This requires clarity.

Develop a Vision
One thing is for sure, if you don’t know what your passions are and you don’t know what you want your life to look like, you will end up with exactly what you have. Maybe it’s pretty good. That’s great, but can it be better? If it isn’t so great, what don’t you like about it?

Without a clear idea of what it means to you to live passionately, you will not know what to focus on or what to take action on and as a result, you won’t believe in yourself. In order to believe in yourself, you have to have a vision and believe in your vision and then decide to go after your vision.

Start a Gratitude Journal
It’s really easy to get caught up in the, when I have this, I’ll be happy syndrome. Life is happening while you are making plans. Recognize what you have right now. Prove it to yourself, write it down. What are you grateful for right now. Don’t just verbalize it, for one week; write down 10 things every day that you are grateful for. You can’t repeat anything from day to day. So you’ll end up with 70 unique items that you are grateful for.

Have a Conversation with Your Inner Guide
Call on your inner guide. If you are upset, then get mad, get it out, and scream if you want to. Let the emotions fly. Just make sure no one else is around or they may think you’ve lost it. After you express your emotions, ask for answers, love, and guidance. Perhaps you’ll notice a shift in your thoughts. If this approach doesn’t work for you, then use journaling or meditation.

Establish a Daily Practice
What your life looks like is the result of a thousand small thoughts and resulting actions each day. Just imagine if you could change one or two of those thoughts and actions each day. How different would you life be? Designing a passionate life is a mindset. If you want change to occur, then decide to change. Perhaps your daily practice is to meditate, write in your gratitude journal, pray, or listen to uplifting music. Design a practice that uplifts you and keeps you positive and in the flow.

You will be amazed how you will start to believe in your vision and your ability to make those changes. It doesn’t happen by accident; you, your Source, and the process make it happen.
