If you feel stuck, lost, directionless, and overall bored with life, here’s how to discover new things you like so you can feel excited and look forward to every new day.When I was stuck in a career I didn’t like, one thought invaded my mind: “If it’s not this, then what? This is what I thought I liked for years!”And I know I’m not the only one who thinks that when stuck.
I want to tell you this: it IS possible to start liking new things.
There’s no need to get fixated on what you’ve always liked.
This blog is all about helping you get unstuck and find purpose in life, so it’s not uncommon for me to get emails from people asking things like:
How do I figure out what I want or what I like?
What is my passion?
How do I change careers if I don’t know what I want?
How do I know what I love to do?
If that sounds like you, don’t worry, you’re not alone.
The first thing you need to keep in mind is that a “passion” isn’t something that falls magically from the sky for most people.
It takes self-reflection and a lot of self-discovery (and many times self-creation) to get to that specific thing that moves you.
And, most of all, it takes trial and error and a lot of patience.
Besides, you need to keep in mind you’re a human being who has the ability to CHANGE.
What you liked in the past isn’t necessarily what you like today.
And if you don’t like something today, it doesn’t mean you won’t ever like it.
If you want to get unstuck and discover new things you enjoy, you need to keep your mind open to change, trust your gut and be willing to do things differently.
Plus, don’t be afraid to drop things if you don’t like them.
Forget about what you’re “supposed” to like.
Don’t like it? Say it.
Love it? Say it.
Being open and honest about it will speed the process.
