Step One: Seek out stimulation.
Engage in some lively discourse about soulful topics. Begin early in the day to allow time for Passion to brew. Talk of life, love; immerse yourself in current events. Visit a book store and discover what the young adults are reading these days. Cultivate ideas and opinions if they are readily available and let sit in a separate bowl.
Step Two: Isolate Yourself
Mix the ingredients together in the area between your heart and your stomach and set to simmer. Stir continuously for 30 minutes to 3 hours. Longer is not necessarily better. Use your internal thermometer to gauge whether or not the temperature is right. You want your mixture to be on the verge but not yet boiling.
Step Three: Remove and Cool
Once heated to the right temperature, remove from the burner and let sit in front of the television to cool. This could take as little as a few minutes or as long as an hour. I find it best to choose a channel requiring no thought whatsoever. The Food Network and Crime Dramas are my standards. Allow time for mouth to gape and eyes to glaze over. Once this is achieved your passion should be ready to serve as a cold reminder of freedom of speech.
Enjoy!
Note: Television can be substituted with Facebook, to taste.

Hmmm, works fine for me too! One caution, don't find yourself watching an engaging sporting event, like Nadal vs Djokovic or the Boston Celtics playing anyone...if your roommate (or husband, in my case) is a fan. This is the opposite of analgesic and may spur ingestion of salty snack food.
