If Your Life Feels Empty and Repetitive… Here are 9 Reasons Why (if you feel like something is missing in your life part 2)
from Immersion · host Pamela Carey
If you have been feeling like something is missing lately - like a spark or a sense of excitement. Or if your life feels lacking in meaning -- empty, or dull. This episode dives into these feelings. I share a story about going through this recently and the 9 reasons I found this to be the case through exploration - with potential action steps.1) Purpose -- not just having one but working it into your day to day life and routine 2) No longer putting off being full IN life until we get "there" - some place in the future - and within this setting more authentic goals vs goals rooted predominantly in ego 3) Checking in with our habits - are they fueling us or draining us? Within that, specifically checking in on certain habits such as health. 4) Reflecting on being vs consumption. 5) Checking in with our categories of life - and creating this list together if you have never done so. 6) Adding more fun, play, wonder, and appreciation. 7) Do we have adequate amounts of community, time around people, and close relationships 8) Journaling on what else could be at play - for example is comparison the root of these feelings? 9) Taking action.
