Finding Your Way Back To Your Element, When You Are Out of It

I have been reading Finding your Element by: Sir Ken Robinson - it is definitely a book worth reading. It is fully packed with inspiration and motivates you to make the best of your life. The book is full of exercises, which help you to define your areas of interests and find your element.

I have pulled out a few thoughts from this book to share with you as well as a story of a time when I was WAY OUT OF MY ELEMENT - in a first class way!

1 - Passion reveals energy - If you’re doing something that you love, by the end of the day you may be physically tired but spiritually energized.

2- Mindfulness is key - Mindfulness doesn’t remove the ups and downs of life, it changes how experiences influence you and how you influence the experience…it changes your relationship with the world.

3- Find The Meaning of Happiness - Research suggests that 40% of what affects your actual levels of happiness is what you chose to do and how you choose to think and feel: in other words, your own behavior.

4- Recognize The Myth of Barriers - Way too often we set ourselves limitations in our own heads and restrict ourselves from living great lives.

5 - Find your tribe - Tribes that work together can achieve more than individuals acting alone because they stimulate each other’s creativity and sense of possibility.

6 - Living your own life- Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones that you did do.

Finding your own Element won’t guarantee that you’ll spend the rest of your life in a constant, unbroken state of pleasure and delight. It will give you a deeper sense of who you really are and of the life you could and maybe should live.

Find your way back to your element when you feel that you are out of it - someone has handed you the ticket, take your seat and enjoy the flight!
