#48 StoryTime with Selina: Navigating the Quarter-Life Crisis: 7 Steps to Take Charge of Your Life and Finding Yourself in Your Early Twenties

Today I am going to be talking about something that I feel is not that talked about that much... And that is how confusing it is to transition into becoming a young adult. Taken right off the web “A quarter-life crisis is a period of uncertainty, stress, and deep soul-searching that many young people experience as they embark on a new chapter in life.” And this is exactly what I think I am in! But lately, I have come into some insight that might help you if you feel like you resonate with that. 

The biggest misbelief that a lot of us have is that we have to pick one thing and do it for THE REST OF OUR LIVES. 

There are so many pressures and we don’t actually know what the heck we wanna do because we have just been busy completing high school. Some have gone and done things and  extracurriculars, but others have just simply survived high school. And in high school, I believe that doesn't truly teach us how to be creative. Only creative inside the box.

I go through a quick rundown of what my life has been the last three years. From graduating high school to being out in the real world, leaving college, and doing something untraditional. And then 7 Steps to Take Charge of Your Life and Finding Yourself.

The first step is figuring out what your BS  !!!! YOUR BELIEF SYSTEM;) Figure out what beliefs you have that are helping you. And what beliefs do you have that are holding you back in stopping you from being amazing or great? 

What thought of having to have it all figured out? Going to experience new things. Go fail. But keep moving forward and learn from your mistakes. Learn from your failures. And I’m telling you this because it’s what I need to tell myself. It’s OK to be lost right now because it is all a part of a bigger plan.

I started reframing things in my life. I learned that we as humans in our individual experiences give everything meaning. I want you to hear that again everything in our life we give meaning to. Reframe and look at all these things as building blocks as a step up to figure out where you’re going. 

I hope you enjoy this episode and that it helps you!
