Powering Up Your Passions

Too often we do so many things for others and get so involved in our really busy lives that we neglect ourselves. If you have been multitasking—doing a variety of things at the same time—you may be producing a lot of stress. Slow down. Stop. Give yourself time to pull yourself back and say, “Okay, all this is going on, but where am I? Who am I? Where do I want to go? Who do I want to be?” Next, take a look at where you are now with regard to your “zest” for life. When you are engaged in expressing your passion and purpose, you will automatically experience vitality.
