3 Ways to Reignite Your Passions and Put Yourself First

I have a client I will call Sarah. Sarah has been a mother for as long as she can remember, and in this time Sarah slowly lost touch with her own needs and desires. She spent so much time caring for others, that her own joy factor got pushed aside. When I asked her what her passions were, she looked at me with a complete blank stare. She honestly had no idea what her passions were. I of course told her that deep down she knew exactly what her passions were, they were just buried over the course of time.

Each and every one of us is unique and creative in our own way, it is just a matter of uncovering the truth, listening to your inner guidance. Sarah was excited to uncover her passions, she just didn't have much faith that much was going to be discovered. One symptom that many people experience is forgetfulness. We get so busy in our lives that we simply forget what it is that pulls at our heart strings. We also need to let some things go in our lives to make room for those activities that really excite us. I am a firm believer in simplifying your life first before embarking on major life changes. You will set yourself up to fail if you don't take this crucial step. Get rid of what is draining and taxing you in order to make room for what fills you up. After working with Sarah, she was ecstatic that she found her "calling".

She realized she had a passion for animals. She decided to volunteer at the local animal shelter. This volunteer work brought more meaning and joy to her life than she ever could have imagined. She finally listened to her inner guidance system and put herself first for once. She also realized that putting herself first was not a selfish act, but an act of love for her family. She taught her children by example to follow their hearts and listen to that gentle voice inside. This joy radiated to all those around her and people were amazed by the transformation. This week open yourself up to rediscovering your own passions and desires. Here's how:

The first step in discovering your passions is to take a step away from the noise and chaos in your life. It is important to be in a quiet atmosphere in order to focus and clear your head. Review your life and pinpoint when and where you were the happiest. What experiences brought you joy? Who were you surrounded by? Jot down what comes to mind.

If you are still clueless as to what your passions are, go on a treasure hunt in your own home. Look at your bookshelves. What types of books are you drawn to? Do you have countless numbers of gardening books? Do you have books on travel? Look at your photo albums? What brought you joy in the past? Your home is a blueprint for where your passions lie. Take a good hard look at what your home says.

The next step is to get engaged in a variety of activities. Sign up for classes that have sparked your interest in the past. Try something new, you may be surprised by your level of fun. This is your opportunity to put yourself out there and see what happens. You may be surprised who you will run into or what opportunities may present themselves. This is the time to open yourself up to possibilities

Discovering talents & interests of your baby

By frans Plooij on March 2, 2011

Each new parent believes that his baby is the baby smarter and more talented in the world. It is true, no? However, it is as it should be. But did you know that you can really know - even from the earliest age - where talents and interests of your baby?

You see, every time that your baby makes a leap forward in their mental development, a new type of perception emerges. This allows you to develop many new skills. It is your own baby's choice, while not deliberate, to which skill you want to dominate first. Those things that choose to focus first of all you something about your interests and talents and, therefore, his personality.

Once your baby has made some mental leaps, you will notice that he always has an interest in the same type of skills. For a child, this can be skills "locomotion" (body kinetics) and on the other could be interpersonal interests and related games. Because your baby has a development more yet to come, it is too early to draw conclusions from far-reaching on future directions.

With this in mind, it is important to note that the interests of his son. Although we know that it is imperative to pay attention to everything that refers to your baby, you can maintain some interest that have noticed that it is taken into account and continue playing games that correspond to that particular curiosity.

In the first year, they are know to your baby and know that you are getting. His personality is becoming clearer and this is certainly something that is paying special attention to. A very important aspect of his personality in development is interests of her baby, as they also determine how developed, how deals with mental leaps, how he masters of skills and what demands of life. Yes, already at this early age.

In short: the interests of your baby are without doubt among the most important things to do, because their interests determine a large part of their development. Always takes into account that the baby has its own interests and are not necessarily the same as yours. It is important that it allows you to indicate your interests and what has your attention, and not urge their own interests on it. While it may seem obvious, sometimes it is one of the most difficult things when raising his son.

Newborn Babies Get Bored Too!

By Frans Plooij on January 4, 2011

With every wonder week, or leap, that babies make, they are able to perceive things they couldn't perceive before. And, once they have made one of these leaps, they want nothing more than to explore their new capabilities.  That is why, with every new stage in mental development, new games, toys and situations are so attractive.  And, it is why I describe the best games and things to do with your baby with every leap in my book, The Wonder Weeks.

The first leap is 5 weeks after the due date. When you know what's going on up there in that new brain and you know what is going to please your baby and which games to play, you will definitely give her what she is asking for.  

But, that doesn't mean that a just-born-baby can't get bored - even before she makes her first leap. Au contraire! Your tiny infant is not yet able to amuse herself.  As you probably noticed, she's pretty lively. And, tempermental babies, in particular, make no secret about wanting some action as soon as they are awake.

Here are some ways to get your just-born-baby entertained:

Explore the House with Her.

Give her the opportunity to see, hear and touch whatever she finds interesting (safely, of course).  Explain the items you come across while exploring. No matter what it is, she will enjoy listening to your voice. Pretty soon, she will start recognizing objects herself.

Have a Quiet "Chat."

Your baby enjoys the sound of your voice,  But, if you also have a radio playing in the background, she will have difficulty in concentrating on your voice only.  Although young babies are able to make a distinction between different voices when they hear them all the time, they cannot distinguish one from another when they hear them simultaneously.

New Objects to Explore

Place interesting objects in convenient places for your baby to look at when she is awake.  At this stage, she won't be able to search for them herself. So, for her, it's 'out of sight, out of mind.'

Experiment with Music

Try to discover her favorite music and play it with her. She may find it soothing.

In all activities, let your baby's responses guide you!
