If your current circumstances prevent you from doing this, choose the next best activity, whatever else you can do, in this realm to practice immersion. There is no order to following these steps.

Often times, you end up constantly responding to Demands 2 & 3 - 2, because they are non-negotiable and 3, because they are enticing, seductive, also financially rewarding. Now, if you did not have an idea about what you love, what your Bliss is, what your Purpose in Life is, you can dabble in 2 & 3, until you have your "1 Zone" clearly defined.
