Feeling a little lost? Three steps to find your way back to yourself.
“Sometimes the only way to find yourself is to get completely lost.”
Kellie Ellmore
Feeling that existential crisis lately? You are not alone, especially if you are in the 35–55 years of age category — Generation X.
Also known as the “sandwich generation” where we are in our 40’s with young children and aging parents. A big difference from our Boomer parents that had us in their early twenties with their parents still active, healthy, and involved.
And for some reason on top of that, we also added full-time careers to our plate. Then we still hold ourselves to this insane standard of child-raising, housekeeping, volunteering, and socializing. Seriously what the hell is wrong with us?
More people today report feeling dissatisfied with their achievements in life. Women especially think that if they only have a family or only have a career but aren’t baking bread and pursuing passion projects that they are failing at life.
They told us we could do anything, but we heard we have to be everything and be everything to everybody. Exhausting!
