Finding Your Way: Gentle Questions to Ask When You Feel Lost
In the hustle and bustle of our daily lives, it's easy to lose sight of what truly matters to us. Sometimes, we find ourselves at a crossroads, feeling lost or uncertain about the future. It's in these moments that we need to pause, take a deep breath, and turn inward. Self-reflection can be a powerful tool for rediscovering our path and realigning with our authentic selves.
This blog post offers a series of gentle, thought-provoking questions designed to guide you when you're feeling lost. These questions aren't meant to be answered quickly or superficially. Instead, they're invitations to explore the depths of your being, and to reconnect with your core values.

What do I value?

What things do I stand for?
What am I willing to consistently show up for in my life?
What brings me joy?
What brings me passion?
What brings me purpose?
What makes me feel safe?
What excites me?

The values and priorities that feel most alive for you right now
