You try to keep yourself fully occupied
Spending the free time indulged in comfort food
Mindless shopping
Late night movies
Netflix
Etc
But the feeling of void remains
Why?
Perhaps you should find out
Perhaps you should look up the things you are curious about
The things that make you think
The things that seem too good to bring in your life
Maybe you have to spend more time doing what you feel connected to,
What you feel ‘fulfilled’ doing
For me it has been my writing about mindset and why everything in our life can be better and as per what we want- only if we fix how we SEE things.
No# 1 was accepting to myself that I cannot be and do not want to be limited to work based on my academic studies which was finance related
No#2 following my curious mind, finding more about writing, coaching, training, copywriting, freelance work and basically all the things that tell you – world is open, internet has all the options to support you, so take things one at a time
No#3 thinking more and more about what I want to do, how I can incorporate things in my busy and packed day
No#4 consciously making an effort to spend some time everyday learning about what I want to learn, do.
No#5 disciplining my day in anyway possible that allows me some quiet time- maybe even 15/20 minutes a day sometimes, where I write/ journal/put out my thoughts and think about the next steps I want to take
Repeated this process over and over again and slowly I don’t feel the void
I feel better, I feel connected
I feel alive.
What about you?
