Gathering of Ideas - Career in Wellbeing

[Waspe]

Hey,

I'm new to the Pavlina forums, though have been on-and-off aware of this site for years now.

I'm a 24 year old male living in England. I was working for a company that provide photography & data for a variety of online Supermarket and Pharmaceutical websites.

I worked for this company for over four years, and I left the company through redundancy almost two months ago. I was given a redundancy payout and my intention was to take some time to rest and re-evaluate what I want to do with my life.

I have a broad variety of interests but seem to run into difficulty transforming these interests into an outward way of life and earnings. I am a little overwhelmed at the idea of taking responsibility for my life path and all the ideas and doubts that arise.

My intention for posting here is to bounce the ball around a little bit with members of the community here, get the mental pistons firing and begin considering ways to move forward.

Deep interests I have, some from the age of 14 and some developing since, include:

Physical fitness - including various forms of exercise (I am keen on kettle-bells and yoga, though have taken on martial arts and soccer in the past)

Diet and nutrition - having for a long time had an interest in how foods and supplementation can effect mood, energy, or counterbalance certain dis-eases.

Meditation - I have been a long term practitioner in various forms of meditation, and meditation is the anchor of my soul. I have some experience with Buddhist, Yogic and to a very limited extent Shamanic traditions.

Body-mind connection - Probably due to my personal limitations, but I am acutely aware of how the intellect and body communicatio and how emotional tension can be held in the cells and musculature and accessed and released through forms of bodywork.

I have recently become more interested in 'work from home' and online business models.

Limitations I tend to succumb to include self-doubt, situational fear, guilt.

I looked at the company Herbalife and becoming a Distributor, but the more I researched the more it seemed to be a Pyramid-scheme.

I am looking at personal trainer education, perhaps in mind of including over the long-term: stress management, nutrition and mood, massage/emotional bodywork, and counseling.

I have a hunger for coming closer to the direct experiences of Love/Truth/God/Light.. I would like to be able to heal myself more fully and bring a spiritual aspect into healing others.

Earnings-wise, I've not earned more than around £16,000/year to date, I am not obsessed with becoming really rich but I would certainly welcome double that amount.

I would love to receive some feedback and advice so I can begin to piece together a gameplan moving forwards.

Many thanks,

Jack
