What is the focus of this podcast episode?
Do you feel like you've hit a point in life where you suddenly have space and time that you didn't have before? Maybe your kids are more independent now and they just don't need you as much. Or maybe you've hit a career plateau or you're even facing an empty nest, but you don't really even know what you want to do with that time. You know you want something more and you need to find something, but the question is what? Today, I'm talking directly to those of you who don't even know what you want. It's something I hear all the time. Hillary, I don't even know what I want. How can I manifest something if I don't even know what I want? So if that's you, you are in the right place. By the end of this episode, you will have some practical steps and tools and ideas and exercises to figure it out. And trust me, this is a journey worth taking. Hi, it's Hillary. Welcome to the Thanks for tuning into the conversation today.
If you haven't already, it would mean so much to me if you'd take a minute to just click that five-star rating on your podcast app, leave a review and subscribe so you never miss one of my episodes. And if you're enjoying this podcast, please consider sharing it with a friend because if you like it, they will probably like it too. I want to quickly start by expressing my deep gratitude for all of you who've been listening to this podcast and watching on YouTube. Last week, CastBox and Apple Podcast ranked this show number five in the self-improvement and education categories. It feels amazing, so thank you for the comments, the ratings, the reviews, and sharing with your friends. It means so much to me, and I just hope that you continue to find value in what I'm sharing. So let me tell you why I'm tackling this topic today. I've been getting so many messages from all of you saying, what if I don't know what I want? I'm still stuck in the what I want part. Some of you have started using my daily journal or are working on goals, but you're not excited about the goal.
So maybe they're not even really your goals. Others of you haven't even started to work on any goals, all because you just don't even know what to aim for and where to start. Sound familiar? I get it. I am actually in the same boat doing this right along with you. It is so common, especially for high performing women who've been laser focused on their careers and their families for years. When work becomes such a huge part of your identity and your focus, and your kids are a priority, you can really lose touch with what you want outside of those roles. And then when you suddenly find yourself with more time or space, it can feel a little disorienting. You feel the hole, the space. And what we don't want is to fill that time with more work, just because it's easy for you and you're good at it and you're rewarded by doing so, either financially or because it's fulfilling and it gives you purpose, okay? And you enjoy it, yes, but there are other things in life that bring joy and fulfillment.
So today I'm sharing how to reconnect with yourself and start figuring out what you truly want. And keep in mind, these are not one and done exercises. All of these things that I'm talking about today will be things that you start doing over and over again, a lot. And over time, it will just become a natural part of how you think about yourself and talk to yourself and in your life. So number one, become a master observer of yourself. To discover what you truly want, just start paying attention to yourself, really listening to what you are saying to yourself throughout the day. Notice what catches your attention. Are there moments during your busy day when you think something like, that looks fun, or I wish I had time for that, or I'd love to try that?
I bet there are a lot more of those moments than you realize because you're just too distracted in the moment to notice. So make an effort to take notice and then write them down because you will forget it later. These are small sparks that could be clues to what lights you up or areas that you'd love to actually explore. Also, reflect on what you used to love.
