Have you ever wondered whether questioning the purpose of your life is healthy? How differently do we know whether we’re really living rather than just surviving?
How numerous times do you say effects like “What’s the point?” or “I don’t see the value in my life”.
There are times when we’ve these questions because, put simply, we just cannot see what we’re adding that has any value to our own or others’ lives. Do you know – it’s not always a bad thing to ask that question, or to feel that position of futility? It’s what you do next that’s important.

An Existential Crisis

Is it commodity you can change? For me it was. I’m in control of my own happiness – and so are you. Identify the base reason for your sense of hopelessness. However, it helps to gain understanding about how your current thinking patterns and beliefs keep you in those moments, If it’s once recollections and events. This may be an area where you may profit from some professional support.
Think of it as an occasion to design the new you! We’ve two options when we’re in this position. We either head into serious internal health issues, or we take stock and decide it’s an occasion to get rid/ stop go of what has been holding us down. This pathway takes a lot of courage but also will
