What To Do When You Feel Lost In Life

feeling lost in life

Have you found yourself thinking, “Life should be more than this?”

If so, maybe you're feeling lost about the difference between your current life and what you hoped your life would be.

Author and creativity coach Eric Maisel coined the term “existential intelligence” to describe the weight carried by those with a high sensitivity to the inherent meaning in everything they do.

If you don’t see your daily activities as a meaningful contribution to your life’s purpose, the discord can make you feel anxious and unsettled.

If your job makes you feel dead inside, if your love relationship is stuck in a negative spiral, or if you look in the mirror and want to cry at your reflection, you’re probably feeling lost and wondering how to get to the life you wanted.

Or maybe you’ve already told yourself, “I feel lost in life. But there’s nothing I can do to change that.”

How To Find Your Passion With These 40 Life Events

How to Find Your Passion

A few years back, I didn't know what the hell I was doing with my life.

One phase was coming to a close (raising kids, a career in PR), and I was stuck in that netherworld of uncertainty about my next steps.

Frankly, I didn't have any idea how to go about finding my passion.
