          It a very common yet very serious problem that so many people today tend to have. Everything may be going great on their lives until one day they wake up and realize they have this feeling of being completely lost in life and feel as though they have no where to turn and no idea where to go next. The first thing to remember is that you shouldn't get down on yourself, it can be hard, but do your best to stay positive and then look forward with these steps in mind.

20 Things to do when you are LOST in life 

1. Get out and do something 

          If you start to feel lost, the worst thing you can do is sitting at home. Do something, anything. Maybe go to meet up your friends or just go to the nearby grocery store. But avoid sitting at home. This will be the positive first step to overcome this situation. When you go outdoors you might find new meaning, passion and purpose. You need to go out into the world to find your place in it.

2. Admit your defeat

The best way to regain control of your life is to give up the control. Don’t think harder. It's a matter of heart. If your mind could think it out then you would have not been in this situation. So admit that you and your mind is out of ideas. 

3. Take baby steps 

Take the baby steps. Go for small vacations. Do something you have never done before, maybe rafting. First it will feel like not doing it but choose to take the baby step. This might lead you to a greater cause. And then believe me you will never be short of ideas. 

4. Experiment

Journal your innermost thoughts. Take the classes which interests you. Your life will only be better when you decide. So, be consistent to take baby steps and allow your happiness to grow.

5. Gain experience

Try to gain experience about whatever you write in your journal. Put them into practice and improve your skills and emotions. Go, experience and find out what excites you.

6. Allow yourself to dream 

If you are too absorbed in practicality you might find yourself discontent. So, allow yourself to dream. What inspires you? What do you want to accomplish? What kind of person you want to be? Which quality you want to develop?. For more ideas, you can read a book. Find out who inspires you. What is it about them that you look upto them? And start taking small actions today. All the great changes have occurred in our world due to our ability of dreaming. 

7. Be honest with yourself 

Be honest with yourself and your dreams. Be aware of the catastrophic situations. Understand the severity of situation and modify your approach. Then you will not be surprised if things do not work out well. If you be honest with yourself in any situation, you will eventually make your path more healthy and sustainable towards your goals.

8. Set boundaries 

When you set boundaries with the things that distract you, you are more likely to be on the safe side of positive path. And your engagement with the things you care about becomes boundless.

9. Choose your attitude 

Be determined to be positive. Most of your misery and unhappiness comes not from your situations but from your attitude. Those who are always happy does not always have good situations but they always have good attitude. Smile to them who hurt you. Show them what's missing in their life and what they can't take from you. Choose happiness over hurt.

10. Reignite your dream

What do you really want in life? Which type of activities do you like? Start working towards it and explore, pick the best which is most important to you. Working on your dream and making a living out of it is an ongoing process. Anybody can change their life, it's just a matter of getting started.

11. Explore new territories 

You can rarely find meaning, purpose and passion sitting in a luxurious resort. Why would you do anything when everything you can imagine are all present in front of you. You cannot think beyond that. Your character builds up when your life crumbles. Keep hope, insights and perseverance with you, and you will eventually find clarity. 

12. Be open to change 

Embrace the change you are going through. Seeking the clarity is a journey and not necessarily a destination. The transitional period you are going through is valuable for you and your growth. Be ready to change for the better. And evolve through the change. Courage is inevitable but growth is optional. So, choose growth.

13. List your goals

Grab  a pen and paper and list out all your goals. List out everything, don't hold back, no matter how far they seem at the moment. This is a powerful way to rekindle your passion, purpose and what's truly important. 

14. Visualize 

Visualize your ideal lifestyle with absolute details. Think about your optimistic future goals. Think about 10 things that excited you the most in the past and 10 things that could excite you in the future. Envision everything with clarity like how it would be to live your ideal lifestyle? What would you do? What would you wear? What would you experience? And how would you feel?

15. Write a 'Thank You' note

Write a 'Thank You' note in your diary or journal for everyone who have ever helped you even for a little. Maybe send a 'Thank You' email to them who care for you. Send it to your family, friends, colleagues, teachers or whomever. And don't just send but feel the gratitude.

16. Don't make excuses 

It's easy to say you are going to do it but its hard to follow through. Take the initiative, don't wait. The longer you wait, the longer it will take to find your purpose. Don't be afraid of obstacles, afraid to be stagnant.

17. Learn something new 

Read a new book, blog post, or listen to podcasts, talk to someone who is more experienced than you. You will get a new and fresh perspective to look at the situation you are in. Make yourself stronger and more confident day by day. 

18. Give up your fixed mindset

Learn new things and develop a growth mindset. Talent alone will not work out for you. Successful people invest a portion of their time to develop a growth mindset and new skills so that it can benefit their life.

19. Plan your strategy 

Find the best way to implement the actions for the life that you want. Then start working on it. Follow it with courage and persistent till your dreams come true.

Get yourself involved in some creative work. It boosts your creativity. It not only gives you personal satisfaction but also helps in tackling big problems and fears.
