Few people, at least once in their lives, have not asked themselves the question of why and for whom to live. Psychologists agree that you need to live for yourself, love and value your own "I". That's just how difficult it can be to understand how to do it.
Instructions
Step 1
Analyze what you like in your life and what you would like to get rid of. Divide the sheet into three sections. In the first, list all the things and activities that bring you pleasure in everyday life: playing with the dog, watching old Soviet cartoons, trips to the sea, delicious cinnamon rolls, shopping in the tech department, etc. In the second part, mark those things that make you feel discouraged or anxious that you would happily get rid of: boring work, being overweight, or an old car. And in the third part, describe your dreams, what you would like to do in life and what you strive to get.
Step 2
Be honest with yourself. You should not indicate in your notes that you dream of moving abroad, just because this is your family's goal. Listen to your desires. Separate them from imposed opinions and persistent stereotypes. Before you start living in harmony with yourself, you need to learn to understand and accept your desires.
Step 3
Save the first part of your analysis. When you feel heavy at heart or you feel that you live wrong, boring and sad, and for yourself there is absolutely no time, read your notes. Put everything aside and spend a little time only on pleasure. Urgent work, commitments, relatives, friends, enemies, and colleagues will wait. Plunge headlong into the love of life.
Step 4
Tear off the second part of the sheet where you described everything that you do not like and throw it away. Fighting your failures and complexes is an empty matter. Use your energy to achieve your intentions, and problems will go away on their own. Point by point write a detailed plan of action for how you will achieve whatever you want. Don't tell yourself that your dreams are a pipe utopia. If you want to become a famous singer, start by signing up to a vocal studio near your home. If you are dreaming of a trip around the world, start a hike with an overnight stay at the nearest river. A long journey begins with a small step. The main thing is to act.
