RE: What If Your "Calling" Is More Than One Thing?
May this serve whoever reads it:
Think back to your childhood and recall the things you really loved doing.
Write down at least 25 things.
When you get past 15 you'll really be searching; that's where the really good stuff will be found.
Re-engage in that activity (set an appointment in your calendar, and stick to it!) for a couple of hours and you may find a new hobby you love (or had forgotten about).
So much of life is re-discovering ourselves in a world constantly fighting for our attention.
Look within yourself to determine what to do with what's all around you.
Love this advice. It is really hard for me though. In more than one way, I feel very disconnected from who I was as a child. It honestly makes it hard to even access memories. I don't remember having interests or things that got me excited as a kid. Definitely not more than a handful of things. I plan to spend a lot more time and energy this year on digging into that though because I think you are right. Tapping into that can be really restorative and eye-opening as an adult.
What if you can't even get to 15
Play pretend, seriously: Imagine you can remember more things and write those down; the inspiration came from somewhere in your subconscious and you can't write down a wrong answer.
Genius idea!!!
