Many people now face the challenge of choosing a profession to their liking. Looking at the recent examples of people who have successfully realized themselves in creative professions, doing what they love, many began to think about the questions: what should I do, what brings me pleasure, what do I want, what do I like? how can I find my calling? understand what I should do, because they do not feel where they are drawn. Either they have already tried a lot, but did not stop at something specific, or they do not even know where to start trying.

In search of answers to these questions, I would like to offer you a not quite standard approach.

Let's take a look at what else, besides the classic techniques and vocation-finding exercises, you can approach to unravel this tangle.

Envy

Yes, yes, this is the very feeling that we often have, no matter how hard we try to hide it even from ourselves.

I sincerely believe that there are no bad feelings, and all our emotions and feelings are designed to inform us about something important. Moreover, in direct dependence: the stronger the feeling, the greater the significance it communicates.

How can it help us?

List of steps:

1. Begin to notice who you envy.

To do this, it is important to accept the very presence of envy in you and give up self-accusations about this. As if from the outside to observe what is happening to you and note who from your environment causes such feelings. Often we can calmly rejoice for someone's success, and this does not cause us a storm of emotions. For example, your friend went to study abroad or she was offered a place in a large bank. You are happy for her, but envy does not arise. Or, on the contrary, someone from your entourage has completed makeup courses and, although he still earns a little, but you catch yourself thinking that you are already envious of her on the sly. If there are emotions, this is a sure sign that there is something important here for you.

Take a closer look!

2. What is it about this that is important to you?

For any action and event, each of us sees something of his own. For some, a makeup artist friend is belonging to a certain environment, or creativity, and it can also be daily communication with new people, a holiday and joy that you bring to your clients or something else.

Explore!

3. What does this mean?

Each concept has its own meanings for each of us. After all, words are just a verbal expression of something. What images pop up in your mind when you think about the important things that you found in step 2? Try to find a few words that explain what status, beauty, belonging to a certain environment, communication, joy, etc. mean - something important that you actually envied from the beginning.

Specify!

4. Where else can you find it? What other ways to implement? How else?

There are many other ways to realize what you see important in the activities and success of other people. It is definitely possible to belong to a certain community in completely different qualities, daily communication with new people will allow you to have a lot of specialties, to have a flexible schedule, to receive attention, etc., all this can be obtained in very different ways.

Expand your vision and use even the most unexpected opportunities in your search for yourself!
