Tips for Finding Your Purpose

It can feel like we are always trying to search for something in life, and never really 
finding it. We become distracted by things like work and family and smaller goals, but 
never feel like we achieve our purpose. If you are currently on a journey to finding your 
purpose, doing a life reset can be really helpful. Here are some tips for finding your 
purpose through the reset process.


Do a Brain Dump

This is one of those strategies that is often overlooked, but can completely change your 
life. A brain dump is a great method for releasing anything you might have been bottling 
up. 

Think of it as a way to transfer all your thoughts, ideas, and feelings from your mind, 
onto paper. Just start writing the very first thing that pops in your head, then keep 
writing. Don’t worry about how many different topics or ideas come to you – write them 
all down.

You know you’re done when you begin slowing down or are just repeating what you 
have already thought about. 


What Makes You Feel Excited and Hopeful?

Once you have done your brain dump, you can keep writing in that journal about what 
makes you the most excitement, or brings the sense of hope and fulfillment to your life. 
Not just mundane activities you are used to doing, but the ones that exhilarate you and 
put a huge smile on your face. The ones that light you up from the inside. 


What Do You Spend Your Free Time Doing?

If you are stuck on what you enjoy doing, think about what you tend to do when you 
have free time. This makes it a little easier to figure out what your interests and 
passions are, which is bound to lead to your purpose. 

It can be anything from reading and doing craft projects, to volunteering or spending 
time with friends. Every detail about your life, especially your personal choices, can say 
a lot about you and what you’re here to do.


What Books Do You Love to Read?

It can also help to think about what genres of activities you enjoy the most. When you 
pick up a book, what genre do you prefer reading? When you choose a television show 
to watch, what type of show is your favorite? All of these little details matter when it 
comes to finding your purpose.
