In the last 4 weeks I noticed how focusing on your Heart’s Desire can help you to be more productive, happy, lose weight, watch less tv, etc.
Okay, I’ll fess up and tell you my heart’s desire.
My true heart’s desire is to give a perfect concert as a classical guitar player, have the audience respond to it very enthusiastically, and to get paid a professional fee for it. (Which I have specified but won’t discuss here.)
Now I have graduated from the conservatory as a guitar player, but this was a long time ago and the past 10 years I have hardly played at all. Well, except for the last 4 weeks!
Anyway, this heart’s desire came as somewhat of a surprise, because I have been filling my days with my activities as a professional tennis coach, and that’s a very nice job as well.
But that’s not what this post is all about.
I’ll give you an example of what happened today.
I got up, and after having taken a shower, shaving, etc I went downstairs where my guitar is.
I picked it up even before I had breakfast. I played for an hour. Then I had breakfast and played again. At this point I’m only about 2,5 hours into my day but I have used them very productively.
What I USED to do was: go on the internet, check my email, Twitter, Hyves (a Dutch social network), check other email addresses, click on some links in the emails, and before you know it the whole morning is gone!
So, instead of going on auto-pilot and squander my day away, I chose to do something I love and feel fulfilled by.
I also noticed I’m much happier than before. Things at work are better as well. I just received a new roster for the next 6 months and I like all the groups I’m teaching. I’m also working hard to improve the VALUE I’m giving my employer, my pupils, my private clients, and everyone else I come into contact with.
Do I still get upset sometimes? Sure, but the intensity is lower and I ‘get over it’ more quickly and easily.
Another thing is my improved eating habits. I used to do nothing, and snack on sweets while doing nothing, complaining to myself how miserable I felt doing nothing… Well, I’m exaggerating a bit here, but you get where I’m going, right?
Now I simply have less “idle time” and find myself snacking less. Hmmm … I think I just remembered my grandmother telling me that “idle time is rented out by the devil” or something. Interesting!
Note: a dietician would probably say that my eating habits have gone from completely disasterous to still pretty bad, but acceptable … for now.
What also helps to feel happier is that I’m currently paying about $1000 a month to people and companies that I still owe money to. While this may not seem like fun to you; I see it as my net worth improving by a $1000 every month. Approaching zero! I think I can see it in the distance, lol.
I’m mostly paying companies now, but in 2010 I will be paying back people, and help them to improve their net worth as well.
Can you see how this all is building momentum? And how it makes me feel happier?!
In conclusion, this post is written with the objective in mind to help you see how important it is for YOU to discover your true heart’s desire as well. You will benefit, and probably a lot of people around you.
