Summary

Lately there's been a lot of pressure on young people to find their "passion" which can be overwhelming, daunting, and discouraging to us. In this episode, Mary shares her unconventional advice for finding your passion by actually NOT focusing on passion... You will learn: - what to focus on instead of "passion" (hint: it's not what you think) - 5 tips for tapping into your creativity - a journal exercise that will help you discover your interests - book recommendations for self-discovery (these are books that changed Mary's life) Remember: clarity comes from ACTION. Don’t spend all your time sitting and thinking about what you’re passionate about. Instead, start taking action on the things that set your soul on fire. Books Recommended: 1. [The Artist's Way](https://amzn.to/3wwA6I3) by Julia Cameron 2. [Big Magic](https://amzn.to/340YGV7) by Elizabeth Gilbert 3. [Man's Search for Meaning](https://amzn.to/3u2eAcf) by Viktor Frankl 4. [The Alchemist](https://amzn.to/3bE9DQw) by Paulo Coehlo Make sure to get Mary's book, The Gift of Self-Love: maryscupoftea.com/book.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Mary's Cup of Tea podcast. I'm your host, Mary Jilkovsky. I'm an author,
0:11.8	speaker, and all-around self-love advocate. And this is the podcast that will inspire you to love yourself.
0:21.7	Hello, myself lovers.
0:23.6	Before we dive into today's podcast episode,

1:07.9	acceptance, and it's a workbook that you can actually write in. So every single
