Meet Elena. She graduated from college with a degree in Food and Nutrition and started working as a dietician. After working at a private healthcare clinic in New York for six years, she decided to take the plunge and set up her own business coaching and helping people with their diets so they could improve their health.
Her business was thriving. But at the age of 29, Elena felt like there was still something missing. She had everything she could possibly want but still felt unfulfilled. So she took a break from coaching to take a soul searching journey across the globe to Asia and started traveling solo. During her travels, she fell in love with exotic, vibrant, authentic home decor she found on the streets of Thailand. Elena started to dream about setting up an online store and selling her unique finds to customers around the world as she lived on a tropical island sipping cocktails out of a coconut.
But she had built her nutrition business from the ground up and put so much time and effort into it. Her whole life was in New York. Was she really considering giving it all up and saying goodbye to her whole family to move across the world?
She found herself in a crossroads. She had traveled across the world to search for clarity and direction in her life but had ended up confusing herself even more.
Does this sound like you?
Are you a multi-passionate person like Elena who just can’t seem to choose between two or more things you feel are calling out to you? Being passionate about multiple things can be great, but it can also feel overwhelming and paralyzing. You feel pulled in opposite directions and can’t seem to commit to one goal or purpose.
Follow these three simple steps that will guide you to gain clarity and seek out your true purpose in life:
1. First of all, breathe.
Just breathe. Stop overthinking and overanalyzing your situation and current environment. Once you stop looking for external factors such as people or places to give you your answers, you’ll soon realize that you already have the answers within you. Everything you need to answer to your true calling comes from within.
Calm your thoughts down with some guided meditation and bring yourself back to the present moment. Focus on what is happening right now rather than dwelling on what has happened in the past and what could potentially happen in the future. Meditation is such a powerful way to reconnect to yourself and gain clarity.
2. Get comfortable.
People have been known to make irrational decisions with no conscious thinking when they are feeling stressed, overwhelmed and uncomfortable. Get yourself in a space where you feel safe and nurtured to give yourself permission to be completely open, honest and vulnerable with yourself.
This space could be somewhere away from everything and everyone you know where you can get some alone time and breathing space, or it could be right there in your bedroom with a cup of tea and your favorite person.
3. Grab that cute notebook and journal.
Remember when you were a teenager and you had that diary with a lock on it where you confessed your deepest and darkest secrets? Journaling is exactly like that, but for adults! Not only does it help us manage anxiety and stress but it helps us organize our thoughts and control our emotions.
Journaling is a great activity to practice when trying to figure out your purpose and the next steps in your life and career. It helps to have targeted questions to prompt and guide you in your writing.
So you’re in your safe space, feeling calm and relaxed with your journal in your hands. If you’re ready to discover your purpose and gain clarity on the direction of your life, I have put ten of the most transformative questions I’ve ever asked my clients into a downloadable resource that I want to give to you for FREE.
