UNIQUE
Do something that’s feels unique to you – You may not know what skill or talent you have that’s uniquely your thing. Normally with our innate strengths, we don’t recognize them because they come so natural to us, we miss seeing our gifts. If you’re not sure about your talents and gifts, reach out to one or two of your close friends and ask them if they are happy to give you feedback on talents and gifts they’ve noticed about you. Write them down and reflect on what they say as this is a start to unravel your unique gifts and talents.
IMMERSED
Become immersed in what you care about – Think about what’s important to you, how you want to make a difference if you could. What impact you’d like to make. Another way to unpack ideas, there might be a problem you’ve noticed and there could be another way. If you haven’t identified a solution to the problem yet, that’s okay, as it might be worth going into a deep dive on how you could make it better. Then, reflect back on what made you notice the problem/issue and why it’s important to change it. These are questions to get you curious about what you care about and how this might link that to your life and career direction.
INSPIRED
Gravitate to what inspires you, and what interests you. Perhaps you can’t stop thinking about, something and therefore you may need to explore it. You may have a desire to learn, know more. You might be inspired by someone you know or what you have recently read about. Get excited about what lights you up – so you move in a direction that fuels your heart and soul.
