How to Find Your Place in Life: 5 Tips to Help You Understand What You Want Most
16.05.2024 12:16
Not everyone can understand what they want from life, what to do, etc. And this is not only about choosing a specialty and place of work.
It happens that people don't know what they want at all. No meditation will help here - you just need to pull yourself together.
Let's figure out how to solve the problem.
First of all, don't think that the problem will be solved quickly.
Oddly enough, it is the brain that prevents a person from understanding their desires. When a person expects to receive something good and important, dopamine is produced, which weakens the ability to think and reason sensibly.
In short: as long as a person expects to receive pleasure, it will be difficult to make the right decision. It is necessary to wait.
Secondly, understand yourself
To do this, imagine how you see yourself in the future, in what case you will work better, write down your goals on paper and reread these notes periodically when someone’s opinion is imposed on you or doubts arise.
Third, priorities
All significant achievements and goals also need to be recorded on paper. Choose a career, financial well-being, and so on.
It is important to be honest with yourself, to eliminate stereotypes. Write down 10 points, and then choose what you can do without, evaluating unnecessary and necessary on a scale of 0 and 1.
There should be those left that bring you satisfaction.
Fourth, sacrifice
You need to realistically assess the state of affairs. That is, whether you are interested in the specialty you are studying, and whether it is worth continuing your studies.
Think about it, would you choose this specialty now if you had to apply this year?
Fifth, the method of exclusion
And finally, the simplest method that will help solve the problem. If you don’t know what exactly you want from life, decide what you don’t want at all.
By eliminating everything undesirable, it will be easier to navigate the world of what is desirable.
