Try simply enjoying the present--whatever you're doing right now. If there is anything you've wanted to do or learn or enjoy, give it a try.
But seriously--it's okay not to be on fire for something, or be charging ahead all the time. We all need rest, and maybe this is just your time to do it.
I use these kinds of drifty, aimless periods to examine what I think I really want, and simply enjoy myself. And when I'm relaxed and focused on just being as happy as I can be for right now, a new purpose usually evolves out of it. |
Unfortunately my present isn't much to enjoy. Also if this is a hibernation period then it has gone on long enough and I want an active life again. I need to be doing something instead of just sitting around all the time wondering where my life is heading.
