How does one find passion again when you feel lost?
I am feeling so disconnected from myself for the first time in my life. I thought I knew what I was doing, climbing high in my career at an early age and learning so much in the process on this wonderfully complex life journey. Alas, since about half way through last year after having some classic late 20s realisations and being forced to slow down this year due to things out of my control, I feel like I woke up one morning and it dawned on me I don't want to do this stuff anymore. My career is no longer fulfilling me, but I have NO idea what I want to do. I want to be more grateful for the opportunity given to spend more time at home, looking after myself and for actually having a job and getting paid the living wage! But I am going crazy and I do not function well when I feel without my passion and drive to throw energy into.
I know this is apparently pretty standard for my age, but I have been feeling this way for like a year and a half and I'm overly frustrated. I can be a positive energy, honest with myself, but now I feel like an idiot or I should have figured it out or I'll have some breakthrough. I feel like I may even be resenting myself a bit?
I am so sad, I feel like I don't know where I want to go at all. I just want to get my zest back, I know I do well helping others and have looked at studying but I can't half throw myself into things. My whole heart needs to be there too.
How have others navigated this period of time within your lives? How did you really put the effort in to come back to yourself?
TIA
