#04 How to Overcome Feeling Lost or Lacking Direction

In episode 4 of the Unleash Your Potential Podcast, I talk with you about how humans simply can't live at our potential if we don't have a clear direction, purpose or mission. It goes against our primal needs as humans.

Our mission may not be world domination or to retire a millionaire, everyone's is unique to them. However, we still need to know where to put our intention and when this is missing, there is a decline in our mental, emotional and physical wellbeing.

Feeling lost and unclear in our direction and purpose can be extremely difficult, and the discomfort/unease we experience often means we have to do something to soothe the discomfort. Leading to more unhealthy habits that have consequences. 

In this episode, I talk about:

• What feeling lost and lacking direction in life can create for us as people—giving you the warning signals to look out for in your life or the lives of others. 
• How we often handle these emotions and feelings in an unhealthy way and why we do this.
• The difference between mild and more serious coping strategies and what to become aware of. 
• Why guilting and self-shaming isn't the answer to helping ourselves or others with these coping strategies.
• The power of handling your coping strategies first and how to start healthily doing this. 
• What then comes from dealing and managing these and how it creates clarity, focus and energy to put into discovering your new path? 
• How to start the process of discovering your path.
• I share with you 'John's' story and how we broke through his challenge of lacking engagement and focus in his VP role to get him on track to promotion. 
• The FOUR empowering questions you can start asking yourself today to discover your own direction and purpose.
