Mental Health and Self Care

If you are stuck on what to do

Have you always wanted to set a goals, pick a career, find a hobby, or anything of that nature but something happens and you end up not doing it? Here is a suggestion/ something I do and have always done. It's practical but works really well. You pick three things.

1. Something practical/useful
-Picking a skill to learn, a career, or just anything that could be useful to you later on could save your life. Maybe this is learning medicine, learning basic survival skills, learning martial arts. Find something that could be useful to know later, and work on it. Trust me, it will 100% be beneficial to pick one thing that could save your life over learning how to be a better imposter in among us. An example I always like to think of is if I was stuck on an island, would I have any skill that could contribute to a group or just for myself? Or, if you were stuck in the apocalypse (if you like to watch apocalypse shows/movies) do you have anything that would be beneficial when the majority or the planet is dead that benefits yourself for survival? It's easier to pick a skill if you think of it like that.

2. Pick a skill just for entertainment purposes
-Do you have any cool party tricks? Maybe learn magic or learn how to do a handstand. What is something that you could show off to your friends that would be entertaining and just fun?

3. Pick a skill just for you
-Maybe you always wanted to learn how to act. Or you want to learn how to style your hair in a ton of different ways. Find something just for you (I mean you can show it off if you want, but find something that you just want to know). Have you always wanted to learn a language from your favorite tv show? It would be fun to know and it would be cool to watch your show and understand everything they are saying, but that's also useful. Or maybe you want to learn to cook. Or decorate. Or build something. It isn't something you have to tell or share with anyone. It's something that you want to do.

This is my guide and what I use to always help me decide what I am going to do in life. It's useful and always a great tool to just have.
