Choose or review a commitment · S5.6

Explore a direction without planning your whole life

You want to think about a meaningful direction while leaving room for uncertainty.

Everyday practice

Try these steps

  1. Choose one area of life you want to consider, such as learning, relationships, work, or community.
  2. Describe how you would like to participate in that area, rather than specifying a perfect future.
  3. Choose a small way to learn more or try that direction without making a major commitment.

An example

I want more community involvement. I can read about one local group before deciding whether to attend.

Reflect

What felt personally meaningful, and what sounded like pressure?

Next time

You can explore several directions or leave the question open.
