Confusion or feeling lost

Feeling confused or lost is common, especially when facing big decisions or changes. It can stem from pressure to fit in, uncertainty about the future, or struggles with identity.

Remedies to Help Relieve Confusion

Explore Your Interests: Try new hobbies, activities, or subjects to learn more about yourself.
Take Small Steps: Focus on small goals rather than big life decisions all at once.
Reflect: Spend time journaling or meditating to connect with your feelings and values.

Where to Find Help

Career or School Counselling: Speaking with a counsellor can help you explore interests and set goals.
Mentorship: Seek guidance from someone you admire or who has experience in areas that interest you.
Therapy: A therapist can help you navigate feelings of confusion and guide you toward self-discovery.
