Happy New Year everyone. Today’s post is a link to a podcast – a Sounds True conversation between Tami Simon and Danielle LaPorte. I listened to it yesterday as I started to think about the year ahead – 2014. The conversation is titled: The Desire Map: Living in Alignment with Your Core Desired Feelings, and is a fascinating and timely conversation to help orientate the coming year around your “core desired feelings” – those feelings and desires that are most important to you. I always listen to talks like this critically…one ear on it, and one ear on the Jesus story; and the deeper questions around what it means to be fully human, alive, and free. I listen to the Christian tradition, to its wisdom. So, in this instance I ‘listened’ to Ignatius of Loyola – thought about his approach to working with desire; his use of the Examen etc. Both this talk and the Ignatian tradition offer help as we begin a new year, a year, like any other, filled with longing, hopes, desires, dreams etc.
“…In this episode, Tami speaks with Danielle about what the Desire Map is, how to create “goals with soul,” what we can learn from both our successes and the places we fell short of our goals when we do our year-end review, and how to navigate a relationship when our desires compete with another person.”
TS: Let’s just clarify what you mean by that—“core desired feelings.” What are those and how do I know what my core desired feelings are?
DL: Those are your preferred states of being. They’re not the fleeting emotions that you’re going to feel throughout the day. You’re going to feel 900 feelings throughout the day. These are a desired ways of feeling and being that have probably been with you for a very long time.”
