In response to the question about applying heart-centered motivation to health/fitness:
I think the context is decisive. And the only limit there is your imagination. You can create a hundred different heart-centered motivations for your exercise. The work, of course, is keeping those motivations present. ;-)
Steve wrote about leaving the game industry for something more heart-centered, but I think you could bring heart-centered motivations to either place, or any place. My job has in the past been about my ego (surviving, making it, doing well) and recently I've started shifting the context to contribution. There's nothing inherent about my job that is either "doing well in society" or "contributing to society". I decide the context, and that decides my experience.
Of course, that being said, I am sure there are places where it's easier to bring heart-centered motivations. I guess that's where you have a choice between dealing with what it would take to bring those motivations to the present circumstances, or move onto something that allows you to more easily express those motivations. And really, there isn't a 'right' way to do it. Which also means there isn't a 'wrong' way to do it. ;-)  |
