Make Time for Your Passion
It’s easy to let the days go by thinking you don’t have time to improve your running or your drawing or learn that language. But if you make the commitment to focus on your passion for just fifteen or twenty minutes a day, you’ll find your enthusiasm rising. You’ll be enjoying life intensely.
Take Care of Yourself
Proper self-care is vital if you want to increase the intensity in your life. Keeping your energy and motivation high is easier if you’re eating well, making sure you get enough sleep and getting some regular exercise.

Learning to practice self-compassion is key for adding intensity to your life. Being kind to yourself means noticing how you feel, it means cutting yourself some slack and pulling back on the judging. Notice your self-talk and see if it’s sapping or building your intensity.
Practice Meditation
Intensity and meditation might seem like odd bedfellows, but think about it. Research has shown that meditation and mindfulness practice help to increase brain function. Regular meditation practice, even if it’s only for ten or fifteen minutes a day, has been shown in increase grey matter in your brain. Think of the potential for those extra brain cells!
Meditation will also help lower your stress levels and increase your self-compassion. You’ll be more resilient, have more energy, and more enthusiasm.
Notice the Good Things
Noticing and appreciating the good things in your life helps to rewire your mindset from negative to positive. If you see the good around you, you’ll come to expect that things will go well, and more good things will flow to you.
Focusing on success and what is going well in your life helps to keep that intensity level high!
