How to give direction to your life.

When we have no direction in our life. Taking intentional action become so hard becasue we can’t tell right from wrong. And we wired in such a way that we have to take action, in every moment, atleast mentally.

So we are not just missing out from all the opportunity but running away from them. Because we don’t know what to do with them.

And when we have no direction than based on what we are taking these action. Our actions become directed by other peoples’ opnion or impulses. We are trying to find happiness by hit and trail. Or we try to escape in the form of TV shows and alcohol. But we can’t escape from ourself. So now not only we don’t know what we are doing but we also have to deal with all this garbage that we are constantly feeding ourself.

Our mind are such that if we can get that one thing we will be free from all this. But we can’t

At this point we are not living but somehow managing to survive. Just sitting tight and suffering without any hope or goals. A life can be much more then this.

To start with the first thing I need is high level view of the territory. What am I dealing with. And I zoom out and see, there are 4 keys areas I can see. Self understanding, soical life, work, health. All my thoughts, desires, worries belongs to one of these areas. And now if something is bothering me I can atleast categories where the problem is, for example if I have a lot of thoughts related to relationships. Then I am struggling in terms of relationship at the moment. Maybe I don’t know yet how to solve it, but I know where to foucs. And this is direction. Maybe it is gross but there is a huge switch instead of escaping you are now exploring.

And as we explore each segments with our experinces our visibility start to increase and now we can see more clearly. And start to become more clear what matters to us. And this gives precision to our direction.

And when I see this I also understand I can not solve my thoughts around relationships with work. And I also have to deal with each challange within its own frame. Infect If I try to companstate my relationship struggle with work.

Before we can direct our life the first thing we are looking for is a clear understating of the territory we are into. And then know what matters to you as an indvisual.
