3 Ways To Follow Your Bliss

Hey, folks, how you doing? This is Nick the poet. I'm a coach, I'm a poet, I'm an author, I'm a mental health advocate. And I wanted to share with you today three ways that you can follow your bliss. So you've heard this follow your bliss before, probably you've seen it on paintings and houses. And it's a common expression. It comes from the great author Joseph Campbell, who talked a lot about the hero's journey. And so I'm gonna. The hero's journey is connected to Star Wars. Luke Skywalker was essentially on the hero's journey.

But let me stay with you here. So one way that you could do this is to follow your inner intuition and hunches. And if we're listening, whether it's through meditation or through being present, mindfulness, or maybe just chilling, we'll get those little intuitions. Maybe it's like I should call that person or I should write this poem, you know, for me, or. I think that's an opportunity that I'd like to do. Oh, they're doing guitar lessons. I've always wanted to play the guitar. There's a reason these little hunches are coming up, you know, there's a reason this, this still, small voice is coming through.

So listen to those and try acting on them. Right. And another thing that you can try is doing the opposite. So, you know, if you typically go one way home from work, go another. If you're scared of talking to that person, talk to them. If you weren't going to open the door for the little old lady, open the door for the little old lady. If you weren't going to strike up a conversation with her, strike up a conversation, do the opposite and watch your life change in interesting ways. The third one is insist on having fun and doing things with love.

So it's really a choice. We often don't have a choice whether to control our external circumstances, but we can control our attitude. And if you bring a fun loving attitude to what you're doing, it's going to just help you so much. So those are three ways that you can try following your bliss. I hope you enjoy, I hope you have a great day, and I will catch you on the flip side. Bye.
