Pep Talk | Zero In

Jesper looking for seals, by hagwallWhat great joy can you never get enough of? What thrills you to talk about or think about or do? What marvelous topic makes you feel fully awake, primed, plugged in, and raring to go?

It’s there, somewhere – the thing that takes you out of time and returns you rekindled in every way. If you can’t find it, or lost it, or don’t know that you’ve ever had it, then the chase is on.

To track a glorious obsession, follow your pulse rate.

Think of a hunter closing in on a much-needed meal. The natural order of things makes us good at narrowing our focus when we need sustenance. Notice when your vision becomes laser-like, when your heart rate goes up and the world around you slips into slow-motion.

You’re built for the hunt. Follow your instincts.

Use the ancient hunting skills your body remembers to zero in on your greatest joys. You’ll know when you’re closing in. You’ll feel alive to the nth degree. And you’ll get a sustainable time-warping rush on arrival.

Landing on your target never ends the hunt. There’s always more bliss on the horizon.

    Whoa. This is stirring all sorts of eddies and whirlpools.

    There are many many things I enjoy doing which make me lose track of time and more that I want to try and perhaps incoporate into my life.

    But none of them increase my pulse or make me laser in in focus.

    I have to work on this. Now. Right now.
