An old friend of mine in New York face-booked me last week and told me that he felt like he was “floating” in life. He asked me what I would suggest him to do.
It is a broad topic and I am not claiming to be an expert to deal with mid-life crisis and the like. However, here are my two cents and initial thoughts:
1) Find out what triggered the “floating” and when it first started.
2) Determine if you want to anchor yourself or float a bit more
3) If you want to anchor yourself, reflect on your anchor points in life such as religion, family, friends, work, interests,..
4) If you want to “float” a bit more to figure out what you want from life, you should search for your motivation and interests in life. Think of what gets you excited in life. What would you do if you had total freedom and unlimited resources? I would also explore different areas of interests and/or brainstorm with friends.
