And as you might imagine, Lola gets what Lola wants in the Cutler household. She\u2019s steadily focused on mealtimes and provides reminders of her need for outside adventures. She doesn\u2019t walk the neighborhood so much as she sniffs every inch of it where another dog has relieved itself within the past six to 12 months. And, once she\u2019s back inside, she has a wonderful preference for cuddling up against whoever seems most sedentary.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want to see Lola in true bliss, you need to catch her when she is scratched or kneaded by someone with long fingernails. In those moments, it\u2019s obvious from Lola\u2019s expression that time stopped for her, nothing else matters, and she is in rapture. That sounds a lot like flow!<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We\u2019ve explored a lot of avenues in our continued quest to experience \u201cflow\u201d or \u201cbeing in the zone\u201d \u2014 that state in which we are fully present and meeting the challenges of the moment with a calm, clear focus and full access to all our resources. As part of that journey, we\u2019ve noted that flow often creates a sensation of bliss, but we\u2019ve not really considered bliss as a possible <a href=\"https:\/\/todaysveterinarybusiness.com\/column\/go-with-the-flow\/\">passageway to flow<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Joseph Campbell and Bliss<\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If anyone became synonymous with bliss, it would have to be Joseph Campbell, a bright, young literature student who attended Dartmouth and Columbia in the 1920s before pursuing advanced studies in Germany and France. When the Great Depression hit, Campbell rented a small shack in Woodstock, New York, and spent the next five years reading nine hours a day. As he poured through modern and ancient texts from around the world, he began to see patterns among the mythological and religious stories of different cultures, ultimately crystallizing in what Campbell would refer to as \u201cthe hero\u2019s journey.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 1949, while working as a professor at Sarah Lawrence College, Campbell published \u201cThe Hero With a Thousand Faces,\u201d which centered on that archetypal hero\u2019s journey. Years later, Campbell and his book were propelled into mainstream popular culture when George Lucas credited the book\u2019s concepts with significantly influencing Lucas\u2019s \u201cStar Wars\u201d films.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shortly before he died in 1987, Campbell sat down with Bill Moyers for a series of interviews to be aired on PBS. The interviews were titled \u201cThe Power of Myth,\u201d which also was the title of the book version of the interviews published posthumously. Although Campbell spoke and wrote about the hero\u2019s journey and his concept of \u201cfollowing your bliss\u201d years before, his comments to Moyers seemed to become Campbell\u2019s iconic \u201cfollow your bliss\u201d teaching moment.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">His advice was simple, if somewhat controversial:<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em>\u201cFollow your bliss. If you do follow your bliss, you put yourself on a kind of track that has been there all the while waiting for you, and the life you ought to be living is the one you are living.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em>\u201cWhen you can see that, you begin to meet people who are in the field of your bliss, and they open the doors to you. I say, follow your bliss and don\u2019t be afraid, and doors will open where you didn\u2019t know they were going to be.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not surprisingly, some seized on Campbell\u2019s words as a call to hedonism, leading him to quip later in life that \u201cI should have said, \u2018Follow your blisters.\u2019\u201d By encouraging others to follow their bliss, Campbell wasn\u2019t trying to advocate the pursuit of immediate gratification but rather a more arduous path to a more worthy ultimate destination.<\/p>\n<h3>Bliss and the Day to Day<\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As noble as the hero\u2019s journey sounds, most of us work hard to get through days that feel largely predetermined. So, while we would like to feel like Lola when she gets a good back scratch, our days often land somewhere between overscheduled and manic.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With that in mind, we offer four practical suggestions for following your bliss, even in the busy, post-Covid veterinary profession.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Create the Space to Connect With Yourself<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Campbell was a strong advocate for creating what he called sacred space. It could be a room or a specific time during the day where you briefly step aside from everything going on with the world. \u201cWhere is your bliss station?\u201d was how he put it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Campbell recommended dropping into that sacred space regularly. Maybe it\u2019s easiest in a private room, under a favorite tree or sitting on a park bench. The point is not the location or duration of the sacred space, but instead that you consistently quiet the outside world and connect with yourself as in a meditation practice.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>2. Note What Makes You Feel Most Alive<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If we are our own best guide and know (at least at some deeper level, if not yet at the conscious level) what makes us feel most fulfilled and alive, then we have to tune into that intuition to benefit from its guidance.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a speech about following dreams, film director Steven Spielberg said that one\u2019s instincts and human personal intuition always whisper and never shout. So, we say that the benefit of creating a sacred space is that you intentionally give yourself the means and opportunity to hear the wisdom of that soft internal whisper.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>3. Choose to Bring More of It Into Your Life<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When that whisper \u201ctickles your heart,\u201d as Spielberg put it, you know you are onto something. Campbell counseled us not to be afraid in those moments and instead follow where those feelings point us.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We can all think of times when we chose to follow that kind of intuition, and we can see clearly how the choice changed everything that followed. That\u2019s likely how you found your way to <a href=\"https:\/\/todaysveterinarypractice.com\/technology\/how-technology-is-transforming-veterinary-education\/\">veterinary school<\/a> or into a relationship with a loved one. It\u2019s also what can lead you to your next generation of blissful experiences.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>4. Trust That You Will Call Forth What\u2019s Best for You<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bliss experiences need not be mutually exclusive. Once you explore the possibility of following your bliss and begin to trust those moments of feeling something tickle your heart, you\u2019ll likely find bliss in more places and experiences than you ever imagined.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moyers asked Campbell, \u201cWhat happens when you follow your bliss?\u201d Campbell\u2019s response was simple: \u201cYou come to bliss.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That makes sense, and who would not want it? When Lola finds bliss, she\u2019s present and content, and she remains at peace for a good while afterward. May we all find that kind of presence and contentment more often.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>BLISS-FREE<\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Film critics and the public thrashed the 2021 movie \u201cBliss,\u201d starring Salma Hayek and Owen Wilson. One Rotten Tomatoes contributor called the movie a \u201cmessy sci-fi drama \u2026 sadly short on bliss.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Trey\u2019s Chihuahua mix, Lola,
