What to do when you're stuck or lost

What to do when you’re stuck. You’re lost or you’re considering another path. 

I was in that position for a long time. I didn’t love the life I was living and wasn’t fulfilled. I felt a bit empty and disjointed. I spent a lot of my time living in my head. I just kept at it because I was scared to change. I was so comfortable in my routine and scared of the what if’s and negative outcomes of it I changed. 

It sounds crazy now, but I was scared that something bad would happen if I stopped my routine, if I did another job, if I took some time off. 

But that was EXACTLY the thing I needed. You see, having a break, doing something different and trying something new gives you perspective. It is the best way to assess your current situation. In today’s day and age we are literally constantly on the go, constantly working, achieving, comparing, pushing, hustling, going going going. We never allow ourselves to stop and reflect. To evaluate our lives. To check if we are still happy, to check in and see if we are filling ourselves up, if we are on track for our longer term goals or if the life you are creating is the life you want; is the life of your dreams. 

So firstly, get perspective, take some time to reflect and evaluate your situation and life at present. Ask yourself, am I happy, am I fullfilled, am I being the best and fulllest version of me, or am I playing small. 

And if those answers aren’t what you want them to be, then how do you think you can change them? If you’re not living your passion and your truth, then look inside and uncover what that truly is for you. No one else can tell you. Only you. And you already know deep down. But sometimes it’s about taking time to be still and listen to your intuition or that little voice inside. And if that’s not quite clear yet then try some new stuff. Try a new hobby or skill, try a night class, try a new gym class, spend time with people who excite you and elevate you. Try that thing you’ve always wanted to do but never ‘had the time to for’. Do the things that excite you. Because that’s your purpose. It’s as simple as that. The things that excite you will lead you to your passion and purpose. And it’s not always just one thing, but do the things you love and excite you, then do the next thing that excites you and the next thing. And trust me, the universe will present you with all the tools and experiences you need to fulfill that dream. You just have to take the time to stop, be still and listen, then take a leap of faith and trust that your excitement and passions will lead you to where you need to be. 

Love,
