where does your mind go?

After I quit my publicist gig at Atlantic Records I really had no idea what I wanted to do with my life. I felt like I was starting over. I had spent the whole of my existence up to that point dreaming and working toward a career in the music industry. But after about five years of a handful of red carpet events, a thousand parties, a well of celebrity drama, and too many broken dreams I realized that it wasn’t filling my soul. It was actually depleting it. ⁣

So, what now? I struggled for years trying to find my purpose and place in the world. And honestly, I still don’t fully know. Ever since I moved on from music I haven’t been able to find the ONE THING that I feel like I should be pouring my heart into. I’d say writing has my heart, but that’s always been sort of a given. It’s what I wake up wanting to do, but I truly love a lot of things and I’m pursuing them. So maybe I’m not meant to just have one thing. I’m always open to what the universe may have for me. ⁣

Through those years of feeling lost, and even now, the biggest thing that helps me find my passions and the things I’m good at is thinking about where my thoughts go throughout the day. What are my daydreams about? When I’m distracted, what is pulling at me?⁣

We all spend time daydreaming whether we are actually aware of it or not. It would be exhausting, if not impossible, for the conscious mind to spend all its waking time on working, creating and concentrating. It often goes someplace else. It takes a pause, a break. ⁣
⁣
The question is, where does your mind go? What images show up? What fantasies come into focus? I’ve found so many insights into myself through just paying attention to these daydreams, the traveling thoughts. It’s helped me unlock whole worlds and passions I wasn’t fully aware of. ⁣
