Passion, we all have it. A desire so deep within us for<br />
something or someone we just about glow when we<br />
talk about or think about it or them. It is a drive to<br />
succeed, a desire to love or be loved. You have to<br />
have it. You need passion in your body and soul to<br />
feel fulfilled and happy. You need it to feel alive.<br />
Many of us have voids in our lives, holes; emptiness<br />
that we cannot seem to fill. But we really have a need<br />
to fill them, and fill them we do. We fill them with<br />
things that make us feel fuller, but not better. Some<br />
of us drink too much, eat too much, over spend, use<br />
drugs or fill up every second of our day with stuff to<br />
do. Stuff that is often passionless that we are<br />
mindlessly doing to help contain the emptiness we<br />
feel. Sometimes our relationship with our significant<br />
other has lost its appeal. It is no longer exciting. We<br />
sometimes have jobs that we go to everyday that bore<br />
us. It is no longer challenging or maybe it has become<br />
too challenging. Sometimes our lives have just<br />
become boring and mundane. We have our daily<br />
routines that we can do blindfolded or asleep.<br />
We need to feel passionate again. We need to feel<br />
passionate about our relationships, jobs, lives and our<br />
day to day living. We want to feel vibrant. We want<br />
re-ignite that inner passion. How do we do that? How<br />
do we do that in a world and a life when we often feel<br />
very overwhelmed? Here are a few ways that you<br />
can easily re-ignite that spark and start feeling<br />
passionate about almost everything again.<br />
If you are in a passionless job or you feel it is no<br />
longer challenging, try moving up the ladder and<br />
apply for other positions in your workplace. Not<br />
qualified? Then take some courses. That will get the<br />
blood racing again as you face new challenges.<br />
Has your relationship with your significant other<br />
become, yawn, routine and boring? Add some<br />
excitement by doing things together, like a date night<br />
or spice things up in the boudoir and see the sparks<br />
fly again.<br />

Put your life under the microscope, what is missing?<br />
Is there too much of some things and not enough of<br />
others? Get some balance in your life. If you need<br />
help, see a counsellor, home organizer, life coach,<br />
take yoga, whatever it takes to get you back in the<br />
passion pit.<br />
One of the best ways to bring back passion is to do<br />
something exciting. Is there something that you<br />
always dreamed of doing, but were afraid to? Maybe<br />
now is the time. Take that course, apply for that job,<br />
learn how to play the piano or salsa dance.<br />
Put the passion back in your life and watch your stress<br />
levels drop, your face will start to glow and you will<br />
feel better. But be careful, people will start asking<br />
why you have a silly grin on your face all the time.<br />
