Core Interests

When you are feeling stuck or like you are in the wrong field or having thoughts like “how did I get here?”, that can be very overwhelming. The reality is that most people, while they feel miles away from where they are supposed to be, are actually only millimeters away. A few things to think about:

1. Your experience up until now will translate to any pivot you make in some way. It was not a waste.
2. You likely were following an interest but hadn’t really zoned in on where your interests, skillset and values overlapped. Some interests are meant to be hobbies.
3. We are rarely given the opportunity to think about what lights us up and how we can infuse our lives with more joy. We also tend to lose hobbies as we get older. Take this as permission to intentionally expand what brings you joy.
