The meaning of life — A journey to yourself
In search of the meaning of life, each of us embarks on a personal journey. But what does “sense” actually mean? Basically, it is the deep conviction that what we do has a purpose and fulfills us internally. The search for meaning can be influenced by various phases of life, from professional challenges to personal changes.
Symptoms & effects
In a crisis of meaning, people often feel empty, disoriented, and ask about the purpose of their lives. There may be loss of motivation, listlessness, and a feeling that everyday activities seem meaningless. This inner emptiness can lead to depression and social withdrawal.
Strategies for improvement
Individual values and goals can be redefined through self-reflection and therapeutic discussions. Discovering personal passions and interests helps to set new goals in life. Mindfulness exercises and meditation support the process of gaining inner clarity and leading a more fulfilling life.
