How to follow your excitement when nothing you can do excites you?

[EvolvingPhoenix]

So I'm watching Bentinho Masaro's Empowerment series on Youtube, episode by episode, to try and get my life on track. And I'm on 1.4: Following the Breadcrumb Trail of Excitement --

In the video, he talks about always having 5 options to do what is most exciting or least exciting and how, when you choose something unexciting, the baseline normal option for excitement in your next 5 options becomes at the level of excitement of what you chose, so it's best to choose one of the two most exciting things in your list of options. And the more you "follow the breadcrumb trail" of excitement by going with your gut and picking whatever most excites you, the more exciting your options become, and you come more into alignment with your true self, and raise your frequency. Problem is, I've been living an unexciting life for years now, and now, it looks like nothing I can do in my day really excites me.

What do you do when you're trying to follow your sense of excitement, but can't think of anything personally exciting to do?

[AnthroHeart]

Have you ever meditated deeply enough to where you feel bliss?
Are you able to clear your mind, and if so, do you still feel problems when it is cleared?

The best way that I follow excitement is through meditation and feeling the bliss when I am deep enough and forget my troubles for the moment.
I lose track of time and where I am.

[EvolvingPhoenix]

Meditation doesn't really excite me and I never get to a point in meditation where I feel bliss.

I made a list of things I can do in my day, typically, and this is what it looks like:

Meditate
Medwalk
Healing codes
Read
Watch YT vids and surf the net
Play with cat(s)
draw
play guitar/Rocksmith
Cook something
Sleep

Usually, I pick sleeping or surfing the net, although I try to meditate or Medwalk each day, and I'm starting to include healing codes. I've been taking things slow with doing what I feel I "need" to do, but haven't been doing anything that excites me. Truth be told, I guess playing with my cats is the most exciting option out of those for me, because it involved loving interaction with another being.

To give a short answer to your question: I do what feels the best in my gut when I imagine the options I can think of at the moment.

The excitement doesn't need to be very strong. One option just feels a little more like "yes/OK" than the other(s).

Yes... I'm following you. I get excited over very small things as I have been through the roller coaster of all types of dramas and I assume through all the small ways of service to the Creator I have now become excited over the tiny details of life. I have no idea if someone else gets excited about the things that delight me but I know I am. I've been in the dark days, the days full of movement, the up's and the down's but now I have come to a peaceful resting place just as in my meditations. I too don't get "overly" excited but I find an excited joy in the details and in the overview of life. Sometimes just enough joy to tip the scale a small fraction.

Your situation seems a lack of hapiness on the life. That can be as result of a nonidentification with the Earth. I suggest stimulate the red-ray chakra through physical exercices. The exercices liberate endorphin and will help you to relax also. The best exercice to stimulate the basal chakra is the squat:

What to do when nothing is exciting?
   I think each of us has special gifts, so what works for one may not work for others.  I have never been able to do many of the things that some say they do.  So, if this doesn’t work for you, your gifts are probably in another area.
   I have been quite frustrated lately dealing with emotional issues concerning service-to-self activities and their effects on the innocent.  I need to digress and leave that.
   Can you do the following?  I would suggest trying it a number of times before you give up and think you can’t.  It’s totally free.  I find it relaxing even if I see nothing.
   I didn’t know until some years ago that we can see more than the light that comes into our eyes.  My wife and I decided to spend some quiet time, and we went to a place that had electricity but no TV, no cell phone service, and stayed for a week.  We cooked our food and relaxed.  She read books.  I had nothing to do except think.  It was beautiful!  Maybe what happened was because I was quiet.
   I spent a lot of time outside that week.  There was grass, some trees, and a tiny brook nearby.  I would sit outside and shut my eyes and think.  After a few days, I noticed that I sometimes saw things when my eyes were shut.  What?  So, I got a thick blanket and covered my head and closed my eyes and found I could see better.  I could see the tiny particles of water in the brook dancing with each other as they swirled in little eddies.  I saw the glow of tree branches as the morning sun would begin to shine on them.  I saw a very dark small tree in the distance.  When I removed the blanket I couldn’t see the tree so I walked over there and someone had sawed it off at ground level.  (Was a little of the tree’s life energy still there because it had roots?)  I saw a butterfly whose colors were more brilliant than in actual light.  I even saw our pickup, though faintly!  Apparently objects that we think are inanimate also glow a little.
   Now when I am at home and want to do the same thing I go into our back yard which has some trees.  I have a plastic chair I sit in and cover my eyes with a cheap black mask that stores sell for those having trouble sleeping.  I really need to block out ALL light, because any light I can see distracts me.  Then I look around.  What do I see?  Some days I see nothing.  Many times it takes more than some minutes before I see anything.  Some days I see the light of the trees or grass or small animals.  I would really enjoy seeing an elf or fairy, but have never been blessed with that happening.  Yesterday it was windy.  It was the first time in my life I ever saw the wind rush past where I sat.  It seemed to be in a hurry!
   If I want to do this inside our house, I first go to the basement where we have a chair and turn out the lights in the room.  (If we are traveling, I sometimes go into the motel bathroom, shut the door, turn out the lights, and sit on the edge of the tub.)  Then I cover my eyes with a mask.  I enjoy watching the fluttery white glow of my breath as I exhale through my mouth.

I only mention this because you talk of the loving interaction with the cats being your closest to excitement.

Do you have a small amount of earth outside or window inside where you could nurture some plants?

It for me is a co nurturing activity, I nurture them from seeds, or plant, love if you will, tune into their wellness and needs/preferences through empathy, watch them grow thrive flourish, and outside they in turn nurture the birds, bugs, bunnies, and humans, the indoor ones nurture the energy of the house and all inhabitants.

Like infinite says it is an activity that grounds me to the earth but it also provides an opportunity for relationship with the earth, and if you grow veggies - food, a sense of the interconnection we have with nature, and it very much can become a moving meditation, and gentle form of exercise.

In such a state I do what is available at that moment that I find bit exciting, like napping, or looking for new songs, it can be very exciting. Eating something yummy, like icecream, or watching a movie. I mean, this is human life, it is what it is isn't it.

@ Glow

I have a "garden" of sorts in my side yard, although I'm not particularly keen on yard work if I'm being honest.

[xise]

I think I've had it easy on finding fun in day to day life because I chose to never outgrow what I liked or had fun doing as a kid.

Games (video, board, card). Miniatures. Hiking/Nature. Museums. Sci-fi/Fantasy shows & books. To name a few. As an adult I've definitely added to the list, but my childhood fun activities remain my adult fun activities, and its been a blast.

Now if you are asking about following your excitement in terms of career, that is one I can't comment on too much, since that is a work in progress, mainly because I get confused between my head wanting to impact the world and my heart which just wants to help individuals.

@ David_1

That's an interesting idea. I might try it out. Thanks.

Thanks Rita. That makes sense. I'll try to do that.
