Start By Finding What’s Missing
Of course, you can’t fix the problem at hand until you know what the problem is. And sometimes, the problem may not always be obvious. In order to deduce what you are missing in life; it may be necessary to spend some time exploring your feelings.
Write in a Journal
You can start by writing in a journal. Any time that missing feeling comes up, take a seat with some paper and pencil and write down exactly what you are feeling. This can help you to more deeply explore what is going on in your heart and mind.
Meditate
Meditation is another important tool when it comes to discovering what is missing in your life. It can help you to spend some time alone with your thoughts. It also might help you to find thoughts and feelings that you may have repressed that you didn’t even realize that you repressed.
Pay Attention to When the Feeling Comes
When does the feeling that something is missing rear its head? Is it while you are at work? Or maybe with your significant other? Either way, if that feeling comes at a certain moment, then you should analyze that moment. This can be significant in helping you narrow down just exactly why you are feeling the way you do and maybe even give you clues as to what to do about it.
Determine What You Need
After you discover what is causing the problem in your life, it’s time to determine what you need to feel better. So maybe you’ve narrowed it down to your relationship being the problem, do you need to end the relationship? Or do you just need something more from your partner? Either way, it’s time to ask yourself the hard questions, because the truth may be that it is time to end the relationship in this case.
Make The Change
Now comes the tough part. Once you have decided what it is you need to feel truly satisfied in your life, you need to make the changes it will take to get there. No matter what these changes may be, or how difficult they may be, you must make them if you want the lacking feeling that you are experiencing to go away.
If it’s a big change you need to make, start with the small steps. For example, if it is your job where you feel you are lacking, then discuss with your boss why you feel this way. Is there a way that you can change your current job to feel more fulfilled? Or do you really need to go a different direction entirely?
After making a small change or two, then rip off the proverbial Band-Aid. Quit your job, move to a new town, date someone new. And you should feel like a new person, no longer lacking in life. But if you do ever find that feeling returning, don’t be afraid to revisit this process!
Overall, feeling like you are lacking something in life is never a good feeling, so whenever you feel you are lacking something in life, be sure to investigate why you feel that way. Then determine what would need to change, as well as the steps you will take to get there. Then all that is left to do is go for it!
