The Motivational Experience: For You, Me, and US!

In life sometimes we go through stages where we feel unsure of our purpose, start to question why we are here, or whats the point, overall just feeling lost and get stuck. Which makes sense because if we knew the answers we wouldn't be sitting contemplating and questioning ourselves. Unfortunately there is not a GPS to life we can turn on to tell us where to go next. So what do we do?

• Call Someone- call someone you can talk to that will mostly listen and help you sort out your thoughts. Remember that this is YOUR life so don't expect them to have the answers either. Their main role is to help you by listening and giving you ideas that can help you get on the the right path that suits YOU. This is also great for venting and getting all these thoughts out of you head. Chances are you've been arguing and contemplating with yourself all day trying to figure out where to go and this should help you feel a little more sane knowing that someone is there to answer back

• Write- they say your deepest thoughts come out when you write. You don't need to have anything in particular to write about. Just writing about anything that comes to your head no matter how dumb it may seem at first even if it "I don't know what to write..." Start with that and continue. Be honest with yourself and don't hold anything back. Don't read it all until your all done. You'll be surprised what your end product will be when you open up and just write and what you'll find out about yourself and how your truly feeling.

• Pray Out Loud- Whoever and whatever higher power you believe in take a moment and pray out loud to them. Its a combo of venting and relief. You can now be open with yourself out loud with the security of knowing that God or your high power you believe in will help you find your way. You may not receive the answer you want right there and then but you will definitely feel refreshed after.

• Get Out- Most times when we feel lost we tend to dwell on it. Makes sense because we want to be on our way, in our minds we believe we are missing out and have things to do, the problem is we don't know what that "stuff" is, which is the main reason we are feeling lost. But us sitting in the house dwelling on it usually impacts in a very emotional and negative way. So get out the house,  have fin, interact with other people. "Wait shouldn't I be trying to find my way?" Yes, true, but your lost and to fully find yourself it will take a little time and your not finding the answers you need sitting in the house so you may as well have some fun in the process. This will also help keep your mind open to other options and directions you can take to get to your next destination.

Being lost is not a bad thing rather its an opportunity to find a better destination. Gives you a chance to explore a different directions. Gives you an option to choose where you want to go until you find a place you want to make an a destination that fully suits you. This is an opportunity to try new things, go different places, meet new people to help YOU find YOU. Think of this as a road trip, when your on a trip (or when you have your goals thoughtfully planned out) we usually have tunnel vision, you know where you want to go and you go straight there, because that's where you want to be and barely even take bathroom breaks because we want to get there in a hurry. But during this road trip we have yet to find where we truly want to be, the car is gassed up and no one wants to feel like they are at a standstill or wasting time so get moving. Take a class that interest you, read a book, meet new and different people, listen to new music, discover new things you may never have known to help you find exactly what you want to do so you can type it in your goal GPS and get there. When your lost remember that you can only be found, loster is not a word, I looked it up, so find yourself during this ride, and enjoy it and know that soon you'll find your destination, and one that you know you want to be.
