Trying to figure out who you are, what you’re meant to be, and do? I believe the below exercises from my personal experience can help you!
Take a moment at the end of each day to ask yourself what during the day made you feel most alive, closest to God. This next bit is important: write it down!
Then take a few moments at the end of the week – I usually do this on Saturday before my weekend sweeps me away – and see if you can remember what those moments were.
What moments during the week stand out to you the most as you consider what left you feeling energized and connected to God? They probably spring to mind fairly easily.
Now look at your notes from the end of each day. Which ones did you remember before you looked? Those are important, so make a special note of those on a separate sheet, or highlight them.
Which moments slipped your mind? How energized do they make you feel now, looking back on them? If they don’t really spark anything, maybe you can let them go a bit, or save them for future contemplation. If they merely slipped your mind but now that you see them you can’t understand how they escaped your memory, highlight them.
Over time, continue to check this list and see what types of activities and situations continually feel fulfilling, energizing and leave you feeling closer and more intimately connected with God.
These may give you important guidance toward your “calling”!
I’d love to hear/read about any insights you gain from this exercise (which will, of course, take a bit of time, so be patient)!
