Do you know how you want to\u00a0feel\u00a0<\/i>in Life Part 2?<\/p>\n

Interesting question, I hadn\u2019t thought of it quite that way.\u00a0 I probably wouldn\u2019t have if I hadn\u2019t picked up The Fire Starter Sessions by Danielle LaPorte.<\/p>\n

I love the fact that there\u2019s\u00a0always<\/i> a new way to look at something\u2026..a new door from which to view or enter. \u00a0The shift in perspective always produces the best\u00a0<\/i>A-HA’s!<\/em><\/p>\n

Before reading this fabulously awesome book I thought I\u2019d done the bulk of the work. Identifying what I love, what I\u2019m passionate about, what I dream of, how I want to contribute, the legacy I want to leave.\u00a0 I\u2019d pondered my purpose and how I wanted my life to matter. What I didn\u2019t think about (specifically) was how I wanted to\u00a0feel.<\/i><\/p>\n

It changes things.<\/p>\n

With heart engaged I was flooded with feelings and\u00a0felt<\/em> totally, 100% alive.<\/p>\n

Did I want to feel joyful? Energized? Inspired? Invigorated? Free? Challenged? Peaceful? Tranquil? Settled? Strong? Connected? Feminine? Healthy? Purposeful? Vibrant? Loving? Generous? Involved?<\/p>\n

As LaPorte writes we generally think of what we want to do, see and have. She suggests that if we first focus on the feeling we want to achieve then we become rooted and able to get to the heart of the matter with increased clarity and ease.<\/p>\n

Of course. Feelings allow us to zero in on what matters most. Feelings can tell us what the eyes can\u2019t yet see or the mind doesn\u2019t yet know.<\/p>\n

Bingo!<\/p>\n

Here’s how Danielle<\/i> (she lives in Vancouver, BC\u00a0too so we\u2019re\u00a0like family)<\/i> suggests we identify our core desired feelings.<\/p>\n

1. Ask – How do I want to feel? Let a stream of consciousness provide you with words, feelings, images, concepts\u2026..write them all down.<\/p>\n

2. Study list\u2026read it over (and over) …sleep on it\u2026 walk on it\u2026. meditate on it…(vacuum or drive on it as I do) whittle it down to 3 – 5 feelings.<\/p>\n

3. Explore root of chosen words\u2026look up definition…keep asking, what does (chosen word) feel like? *accept first thing that comes to mind…see if you can get to a deeper feeling.<\/p>\n

4. Identify 5 – 10 accomplishment or experiences that will make you feel <\/i>this way<\/p>\n

5. Identify three things you can do today to make you feel<\/i> this way?<\/p>\n

6. Identify three things you can do this week, this month, this quarter, this year\u2026..<\/p>\n

THEN with feeling<\/i> and a fire raging within … take on Life Part II!<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’m betting it’ll be more than you can imagine!<\/strong><\/p>\n
