Zen Please – Make Life Easier

There comes a moment in all of our lives in which we end up asking ourselves what to do in life. It is a natural step, and the first thing you should do is not feeling in any way guilty for asking yourself such a question. Think of it as an opportunity for self discovery, and if you’re not happy with your current situation, think of it as an opportunity to change.

Everyone is born with a set of skills, you might feel inclined to do certain things rather than others, since the early stages of your existence. If you’re able to identify such skills, try to use them, try to fulfill them by applying them in your daily endeavors. If you have doubts about which direction you should give to your life, my suggestion is to try to find some time to relax and focus inwardly, choosing a quiet location in which you’re not likely to be disturbed. Then focus on yourself, identify the things that you like to do, and the ones that you don’t like to do. If you feel drawn to any particular path, try to dig into the reasons behind that, and if you’ve not followed that path yet, start thinking about what has stopped you from doing that. It could be a person, a commitment, an emotion, anything. It could be a combination of those.

If any emotion comes up during this process, let it come to the surface, feel it without judging it, accept it, and then try to identify which of your beliefs has played a role into the birth and the evolution/growth of that emotion. If you’re unhappy with such emotion, try to ask yourself whether you’d like to stick to the belief that created it or if you wanna get rid of it or at least modify that belief. It is a process that takes quite some time and energy, and you will need a few of those sessions of inward focusing before you’ll start noticing some results.

Life is a journey, they say. Try to live it listening to your heart, try to connect to your essence within. It is the only real way to find purpose, your own purpose about what to do in life.
