Season 1 - Day 8 - Confusion

[Cherie]

Okay I am eight days in to the 100 day challenge and I still have not become clear on my goals!

For the last couple of years all my attention and energy has gone into my own business which I only recently decided to end. It was a home based online business ( I had a shop ) In that time because of all the focus going on it I seem to have lost sight of what I actually want out of life and who I am and even what I enjoy because I was working on it day and night, not eating well and not getting enough sleep. Hence it came to a point where I was not enjoying it any more and I was becoming unhealthy and unhappy.

Now all of a sudden I have this spare time and I am processing so much that I am finding it hard to focus. My goals keep flitting from one thing to another in terms of where I want to live, where I want to work etc.

So I am realising that it might take me 100 days just to work out exactly what it is that I want out of life for my next chapter.

I understand as well. Listen I'm 48 and still have a hard time focusing! Give yourself all the time you need. Much love and blessings, Kathleen

I understand completely how you feel, as I've been through something very similar myself.

My suggestion, and what I've tried to do most of my life is to follow your heart & gut instinct of what you're truly passionate about.

Like you say basically what is the point to life if you're not doing something you love, makes you feel happy,
healthy, and in a place where you say to yourself I LOVE WAKING UP TO THIS, and at the end of the day thinking I HAD SUCH A WONDERFUL FULFILLING DAY.

Life is short, so make the best of it.

You have probably done this but this is what I do. Write out everything you feel like you want to do, and from there narrow it down to what would make you the happiest. I find that through journaling, and the power of prayer it helps me out a lot too.

Even if you remove yourself from the places you go to every day.....and perhaps go to a cafe or a park in another town/city can give you a different perspective on things...because it's fresh & refreshing.
