How to Discover What You Truly Want in Life (and Finally Start Pursuing It)

updated on

Imagine for a moment that everything in your life aligned perfectly—the timing, your finances, supportive people around you, and all the opportunities at your fingertips. What would you choose to do then?

Too often, we find ourselves held back by circumstances. We convince ourselves it’s “not the right time” to pursue our goals, careers, or dreams. We blame our job, the season, our finances, or even our mood. Yet the real challenge isn’t these external obstacles—it’s the internal struggle of deciding what we truly want and accepting full responsibility for the outcomes of our decisions.

It’s easy to feel overwhelmed when you’re presented with endless possibilities: go anywhere, do anything, become anyone. Yet this freedom can leave us paralyzed with indecision. “What exactly do I want?” we ask ourselves. “Should I rest, explore new hobbies, travel, read, watch films, or start a new career?” The truth is, finding fulfillment and meaning comes down to understanding precisely what excites and motivates you—and why.

How Can You Identify What You Really Want?

Here’s a simple but effective strategy:

  • Write It Down: Grab a piece of paper and list activities you genuinely enjoy, careers you admire, or new experiences you’d love to explore.
  • Prioritize: Identify which items on your list excite you the most or align closest with your personal values and goals.
  • Explore and Connect: Reach out to people already involved in the fields or activities you’re curious about. Networking and asking questions can significantly speed up your clarity—or help you realize if something isn’t the right fit.
  • Take Action or Accept Inaction: Remember, doing nothing is also a choice—but it often leads to dissatisfaction or regret. Proactively choosing your path empowers you and leads to genuine fulfillment.

If the process of uncovering your true desires feels daunting, that’s completely natural. But the good news is, you don’t have to do it alone. As an experienced coach, I’ve guided many individuals just like you to clarity, confidence, and concrete action steps.

Feeling Stuck? 3 Simple Ways to Restore Your Motivation

updated on

Everyone experiences moments when motivation seems to slip away. On those days, lounging on the couch scrolling through your phone or watching uninspiring TV shows feels far more appealing than tackling your tasks. It’s perfectly normal to have these dips in energy, but the key is knowing how to climb back out. Thankfully, there are practical ways to reignite your drive. Here are three effective strategies you can start using right now.

  1. Start Small

Facing a lengthy to-do list can make even the most proactive person feel overwhelmed. Big tasks often seem daunting, but there’s truth in the phrase: “You can eat an elephant one bite at a time.” Rather than getting stuck thinking about everything you need to accomplish, focus on completing just one manageable task today. Perhaps you could make an important phone call, reply to a key email, or simply read a single page of a report. Completing even a tiny step creates visible progress, immediately boosting your motivation.

  1. Track Your Progress

Achieving larger goals can sometimes feel like navigating a long and winding road. It’s easy to overlook small victories along the journey. That’s why I suggest regularly noting down your achievements, no matter how small. Keep track of the tasks you’ve completed and reflect on the effort you’ve put in. Visibly seeing your progress not only gives you a sense of accomplishment but also signals to your brain that your hard work is paying off, encouraging you to keep moving forward.

  1. Revisit Your “Why”

Any activity or task holds meaning because you give it meaning. When motivation starts to wane, pause and remind yourself why you began the project in the first place. Reflect on the personal value or benefits this task or activity brings into your life. Clarifying your deeper purpose or initial enthusiasm helps rekindle your inner drive, making it easier to push through moments of doubt or difficulty.

By incorporating these three simple methods into your daily routine, you can effectively manage moments of low motivation and maintain consistent progress toward your goals.

 

Time Management Tips: How to Boost Productivity and Reduce Stress

updated on

Have you ever wondered why some people seem always busy yet struggle to achieve much, while others appear calm and efficient, accomplishing more in less time? What’s their secret?

In today’s fast-paced world, being busy often feels inevitable. With constant phone calls, Zoom meetings, overflowing inboxes, and endless notifications, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Yet, some people handle these demands with ease. How can you become one of them?

Prioritise Your Tasks Clearly

Effective time management begins with setting clear priorities. Identify your most urgent and important tasks and tackle them first.

Avoid Multitasking for Better Productivity

Despite its popularity, multitasking often harms productivity. Studies consistently show that focusing on one task at a time leads to fewer mistakes, faster completion, and higher-quality results. Embrace single-tasking to boost your efficiency and effectiveness.

Manage Distractions and Interruptions

“I’ll just quickly respond to this email,” or “I’ll take a quick peek at social media,” are common interruptions that significantly reduce productivity. Identify these “time eaters” and limit their impact by silencing notifications, creating set periods for checking messages, and practising digital detoxes during focused work sessions.

Incorporate Self-Care into Your Schedule

Taking care of yourself isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity for sustained productivity. Schedule regular breaks, maintain balanced meals, prioritise exercise, nurture social connections, and enjoy hobbies. Including self-care in your daily plan enhances your energy, reduces stress, and improves overall performance.
