Yes, in Russia and the CIS countries, and what can I say all over the world, a lot of people work without enthusiasm. They come to work like zombies, just to get paid. But this is how your whole life goes, and happiness flies out of your hands, since all your time is devoted only to work. So what should we do? How to find a job you like if you don’t know what you want?

In this article we will describe ways to solve the problem from a psychological point of view. Let's dive into simple ways to understand what you like. And there you will see what will be relevant for you.

Career Guidance Test

No matter how trivial it may sound, there are very good tests for professional aptitude. When I was about 20 years old, and I didn’t know what I wanted from life or work, fate led me to free psychologists. They are state-owned. After talking, they let me do a test on a computer, which lasted, in my opinion, 2-3 hours. I remember sitting there for a very long time, and the questions were constantly repeated.

Of course, this bothered me, but I completed the test and the result was two of the brightest professions: florist and entrepreneur. Then, at the age of 20, I did not yet know that my life from the age of 24 would begin entirely in the entrepreneurial field. Yes, times were interesting.

I want to say that there are actually a lot of free psychologists from the state. Few people know about this. Therefore, if you live in a large city or near a large city, be sure to look for such centers, they should exist. Sign up and take this test.

I would also like to note that there are such tests on the Internet, but check the cost. I also want to add, don’t be fooled by free tests of 50 questions, I’m sure they won’t tell you what you really want. Or rather, they will do more harm. \

Ask yourself a few questions

They may be different, but in the end, they should prompt you to further, more fruitful thoughts about the future. Here is an approximate list of them:

What would I like to do if I had enough money to live comfortably?
What profession do I most admire?
Who would I prefer to become if I were given the opportunity to choose any type of activity?
What interests me besides my current job?
Why do my loved ones and colleagues value me?

What did you like as a child?

Unfortunately, our parents often do not listen to the wishes of their children. The child wanted to draw, but he was sent to football or music school. Okay, if a guy plays the guitar, then often he plays the violin. For children, this is not prestigious among their peers. Although a guy who knows how to play the violin will always have money, even if he earns money while traveling in the subway. (Joke)

Let's look at your childhood, what did you want as a child? What did you dream about? What did you like? Even if the parents were against it. Every child had some idea of what he wanted from life. Astronaut, fireman, policeman and so on.

Your task is to remember what you liked and try to do it. But not all at once, but little by little. You don’t need to immediately fall into the process, try to study it a little first, watch videos about it. There are a lot of different videos on YouTube, I’m sure there will be a lot of things there.

How fate and karma contribute to a place in the sun

There is an opinion that everything is predetermined in advance, and no matter how hard you try, you cannot change this, everything is predetermined, and all troubles are retribution for mistakes made in a past life. Many people are convinced that successful and happy people are born, not made. As part of this idea, I will describe several ways to influence the purpose:

Some believe that what a child is named at birth has a huge impact on his future. Together with him, the baby receives certain character traits, strengths and weaknesses. Wanting to turn the vector of their life path in a different direction, many decide to change their name.
Luck loves optimists. If you learn to see the positives in any situation and extract useful experience from everything, rest assured that fortune will be on your side! With your positivity, you will begin to charge those around you, triggering the mechanism of attraction: you won’t even notice how bright, talented, enthusiastic people will gather around you, ready to support your ideas.
Forgive insults. Probably, you were once treated poorly, hurt, and because of this situation, a block arose on the mental and emotional levels. It is he who does not allow you to return to the path of happiness. Let go of these thoughts, let the past be left behind, and move forward.

The story of how a man became a sewer man

I read this story on a well-known site where many people share different stories. A sewer man is a person who pumps, sorry, shit out of village toilets. It was 2008, the man was working somewhere in an office, I think, in a bank or something like that. At that time there was a certain crisis and it was reduced. He was not upset and spent time at the dacha.

One fine day, I needed a car to clean out the toilet. I called and the guys arrived. They did everything, gave the money. We talked about how much they earn. It turned out to be a profitable business. And just for fun I asked, can I come with you? Long story short, he was accepted into the brigade and has been doing just that since then. He says he doesn’t regret it one bit. There is at least some movement here, but in the office there is nothing but sitting around.

I’m sure there are quite a lot of such stories, and the same thing could happen to you.

Why are we looking for ourselves?

In most cases, a person begins to live consciously by the age of 20-30. During this period, a certain crisis of meaning may arise, thoughts appear about mistakes made in the past: “If I had chosen a different path then, I would have been able to avoid many failures...” I want to feel my inner mission to follow it.

Purpose in the world

Many believe in a special purpose given to us at birth. Others believe that it is necessary to try different activities, revealing all their talents. These aspirations and ambitions save us from two important things: oblivion and the fear of living an empty life.

You can understand where the Universe is trying to take you by establishing competent communication with your inner world and the surrounding space. To do this, sign up for my consultation and reveal new facets of your “I”.

What do you love most?

Every person has a certain list of hobbies and, in general, what he likes to do. Even if you like to just sleep, there is even such a job, but you need to look for it. Any work is paid, and it is even better if it is paid when you like to do what you like.

Conduct an audit of those hobbies that appeal to you. What do you like to do: sports, tourism, writing texts, books, fishing. If you love sports or fishing, why not get a job as a salesperson in a fishing or sports store?

And people have a lot of such hobbies, but they don’t always notice them and take advantage of them. Sometimes half a life passes before people want to change something to something more positive for them. But here it’s not about work, but about some fears of changing jobs, which we’ll talk about below.

In general, the advice here is simple, find what you are passionate about and what you like to do and try to look for a job related to it. It may be difficult, but what can you do, sometimes in life not everything is so smooth.

How to find your calling if you're 15

Adolescence is a period of self-identification when the question “Who am I here?” becomes central to a person. The search for oneself and the desire for self-realization pushes one to choose a profession. Why then is it so difficult for a high school student to find a calling?

At the age of 13-16, a person has very little information about professions; he is used to studying and, as a rule, has never worked. He has little idea what a logistician or SEO specialist does, and how a design engineer differs from a test engineer.

Are you looking for a job, but are you afraid that no one needs you?

All your life you have been searching for the ideal job that you would like. And they even despaired that this could happen. And the worst thing is that it leads to disappointment in yourself and your life.

To find the root of the problem and solve it, you need to immerse yourself in childhood with an experienced psychologist and close the gestalt.
