Have you ever thought “who am I and how did I get here?” We all feel lost at times and forget who we are and what we want. With spouses, children, jobs, and life somewhere along the way we lose sight of our path. We forget our dreams, our goals, or aspirations. Are you feeling lost? It is never too late to discover yourself!
Introducing You
Spend some time getting to know you. What do you like to do, where do you like to go, what are you passionate about? Ask yourself is there one thing can you change in your life that would make you happier. If money and time did not matter, what would you do for a career? Is there something you have always wanted to try but haven’t? Use these questions to start a journal, write down your thoughts and feelings, and create a map to finding you. Keep this somewhere easy accessible so when you feel lost it will help you to remember who you are.
Me Time
Juggling home, work and friends monopolizes our time, but this does not mean we should neglect ourselves. What does the flight attendant say on a plane…you must put the oxygen mask on yourself first before you can help someone else. Taking a breather not only helps to save you but will help you save others. Make yourself a priority, set a day once a week to have “me time”. Whether you spend this time getting pampered, taking a yoga class or sitting quietly reading use this time to focus on you. Once you start taking time for yourself you will begin to feel more relaxed, happier and able to give back to your family and community.
Invest in You
While discovering yourself you may find your passion, a talent, or a desire to change your career path. These are all normal stops on the road to finding yourself. Investing in you means to invest in your passion, talents or take the leap to change your path. Have you always loved photography, enjoyed planning parties, or had an interest in the medical field? When you turn your passions into a career you will never work a day in your life.
