  • How to find your passion...it's so overdone, could there possibly be anything left to say on this topic?
    Well, maybe.
    I've been having conversations, in truth, for several years now with people who are feeling lost, who don't know what they want.
    And if you ask them: what's your passion?
    They can't even answer. They feel like they don't even know themselves anymore.
    Sound like you?
    In this video, I'll tell a little about my own story of finding my way back to my passion, plus explain the BIOLOGY behind how we lose connection to our desires.
    This isn't just woo-soo airy fairy motivational cotton candy. This is neuroscience.

    I have tears in my eyes as I type this. Thank God you're not Brene Brown or anyone else. You are totally speaking from your heart, and mine has finally heard the message! I still have to figure out how to act on it, but now I understand where the disconnect began. I see that the ubiquitous advice to "ground" yourself, is not to connect with mystical earth elementals or somesuch, but to actually feel the planet from which we are made - to complete the circuit in the body to the heart. Thank you for addressing the issue of such loss of passion that you can't answer the irritating question of "Well, what DO you want?" I am nearly 70 and the indoctrination runs deep, but I will dig again, this time with the help of your videos, trying to find myself. Also, as someone who has taken days to write and refine an email or two, I very much appreciate the time and effort you put into this video.

    At 12, my dad had 3 passions: sailing (he built his own lake-boat), recorder (he crafted a recorder-the instrument-through a YMCA program), and electronics. Aside from a few years in the early 70’s when he tried running a stereo/tv repair service (he was amazing at repairing but terrible at running a business) he’s never made money on any of these passions. What does he do for fun now, in his 80’s? Sailing, playing recorder, and messing with electronics. He never let them go, in spite of his wife denigrating all 3, nonstop. I only realized this recently, in my 50’s, and now really admire his persistence at finding joy.

      That was the part of the message that really resonated with me in an extraordinary way!
      I formerly had a passion. Almost seemed to be part of my identity. Like it was ingrained in my DNA in a special compartment in my brain. Had it since I was 3 years old.
      Fast forward 54 years later - it inexplicably disappeared. Seemingly overnight. It really has confounded me. All those years. Was it all a lie…?!
      In hindsight, the evaporation of my passion really seemed to coincide with the start of an ongoing struggle with severe, debilitating anxiety.
      Sickie gave me my “eureka” or “a-ha” moment! …You can’t create when you are struggling with fight-or-flight…
      Hopefully when I get the anxiety under control, the passion will once again return.
      Susie offered some of the best insight I’ve heard in ages. I’m glad others are getting similar benefits.

    My chronic shyness and social anxiety really affected me as a youngster. But I discovered guitar and drums. Playing music boosted my confidence. Then I discovered surfing. And it opened a whole world of zen and peacefulness that I didn't know existed. Finding a passion can tear down the negative forces that keep you from being the best you. Live your life. You've only got one.

      Yes, I think this is a big misconception, too -- that if your job isn't your passion, you're doing it wrong and you must be miserable. There is absolutely nothing wrong with working a job you like just fine and spending your free time exploring your passions. Horses are my passion, but they aren't my job (although I do bodywork on horses, but not full time). I love how spending time with horses grounds me and deepens my insights around the work that I do with my human clients. Sounds like you've found an excellent balance, Heather.

    Sukie, thank you so much for making this video! Yes, there are many other videos/books on the subject but your unique voice and perspective is what I connected to. This is exactly what I needed to hear at this moment. I totally get what you related about feeling disconnected from your body and how it probably started in elementary school settings. As a child I really wanted to sing and dance. Those things made me happy. My dad wouldn't let me take lessons. He just wanted me to do well in school and become a psychologist. I eventually became a chiropractor for about 20 years and at least got an alternative view of the body that was a bit more wholistic. But after being stuck in the fight/flight mode for many years and not realizing how to come out of it until recently I developed some major health issues myself and wasn't able to practice anymore. Now at age 62 I'm trying to heal and find my passion again. I trying to find what I can do and want to do at this stage in my life. As I watch your videos I'm amazed at the wisdom and knowledge you've acquired at your age. You are a bright light shining. Thank you for what you do and I look forward to continue learning and following your channel.

    I can't thank you enough for your willingness to create and share this video. This resonated to my core. I've been living w/ my head disconnected from my body for years and years. I heard it described once as "living from that place behind your eyes," as tho we experience our SELVES as being or dwelling solely in this space in our heads and our minds. For me, conscious awareness of my body has felt like the piece that's been missing most of my life. But I was never able to articulate what or why before now. I can totally relate to trying live my life by some perfect set of rules or criteria that would please other people-and how much of an internal struggle it can be when doing what would honor my true self is in direct opposition w/ one of those rules. Thank you again for all of the work you do on your channel to educate and demonstrate the importance of coming back home to our bodies and visceral experience, and how to work thru pain and other blockages. P.S. I'm so glad you're not Brene Brown. You are a blessing. 💙

I used to be super creative writing, sax playing, art, tons but since moving to a foreign country and getting sick it’s all stopped. This video makes a ton of sense. I felt lost and disconnected even though I teach college and spend 90% of my lessons motivating my students I don’t seem to be able to do the same to myself. The fight or flight really makes sense. Thanks for giving me a nudge to think again- or rather- to remember to feel again.

    What you said about knowing what it is that you DON'T want as opposed to what you DO want was eye-opening. I feel like I'm surviving and stuck and I'm trying to reach for things that will give me stability and some form of satisfaction but it's not coming fully from my heart space.
    I'm realising more and more that the body-brain link is integral to recovery with mental health issues, and how disconnected we have become from ourselves, and by extension, from the natural world. No wonder I didn't feel I got very far with things like counselling when recovering from anxiety and depression. I've applied to study a post grad in cognitive behavioural interventions in the hope that I can incorporate more somatic approaches to recovery alongside those interventions in my future career.

    This is me right now! After having 5 kids, being married for 32 years & I don't know who I am anymore I was a mom/wife for so long that now I feel lost since my kids are grown. I'm still married but feel disconnected in it. I'm doing classes online in holistic nutrition trying to find myself but, still feeling lost in life itself. 😔

Now it all makes sense to me reconnecting to my body. Getting out of our heads into the body to find our passions!!! Keeping on with the exercises to reconnect to my passion. Thank you again 🙏💚

    Thank you, Sukie. You made a lot of sense. I've been going through therapy for complex childhood PTSD and lately panic attacks. I'm retired, widowed, isolated and can't drive. I have lower G.I. issues that the doctor says is psychosomatic. I've recently discovered the "why's" and how's" of vagus nerve exercises and centering exercises, and may be improving. And how true - throughout life, I knew what I _don't_ want, but still am struggling to know what I _do_ want. So I'll take more time to just be aware of I feel in the current moment. So far, I feel I'm not yet ready to commit to anything outside of cooking, housework and errands, and I have no idea what the heck I'm going to do with the rest of my life. I hope this will change soon. In the meantime, I'm trying to learn how to enjoy the "now" and not always what I have to do later!

Yes, my mind has been sending pain signals to my disconnected body. Lots of nerve and muscle pain for no apparent reason (so I thought).

    The childhood is the most important part of our lives because on that time we define ourselves and then, well, we are the result of that. It is amazing how you could realize what was happening to you, I never did, I never could. I really hope with this enlightenment that you have given me I will be able to overcome my frustration.

    Thank you for pushing forward to make this video 🙌 I just recently found you this morning, it was meant to be. I resonated deeply with many things you shared, especially what you shared about the Hopi's Sacred rock. In this digital age of "connections" constantly being plugged in, we have become so gravely disconnected, to other people and especially to ourselves. 2020 has rocked every part of my being. I am in the process of healing past traumas and learning how to find my passions again to live free within myself. I signed up for your free pain-free course this morning as I suffer from chronic pain. I have come to the realization my pain is closely related to cptsd. I look forward to what my healing brings. Happy New Year, 2021 is going to be a transformational year full of healing, growth and passion 🙌💜🙌

    what a great way to explain it. I love how you went back to childhood. Absolutely can relate to that. I do remember the day i woke up and was almost a different person. I remember even seen things differently. Like they weren’t as clear and detailed as before. I was 12. And i feel like that is when i started growing up and molding with the society’s standards of what is.

    I can’t thank you enough for explaining for me what has been a life long struggle, and that is not knowing what my passion was. Even as a child I felt there was something terribly wrong with me because I didn’t know what I wanted to be when I grew up. It created a great deal of low self esteem and humiliation. I didn’t like school and I didn’t want to be there. I got decent grades, but my report cards always said the same thing. “Susan tends to daydream.” At least we had recess when I was in school. I shudder to think how disconnected people must be since schools started cutting back on playtime. You are so on spot with your observations! We have much to learn for the future of our children.

    What you shared was such a blessing! I have struggled with that "reconnect" and can completely relate. Your passion for horses and your whole "school ups and downs" reminds me of my sister. She has definitely been a happier person since having horses. The Bible actually refers to our "heart" as our kidneys (gut), the place of "feelings" and decision making. In studying this out I learned just how important it is to find balance.
