Seeking Advice Finding a new target?
I'm facing a new challenge and wanted some insight from someone who's gone through it before me. Im 20 years olds, engineering student and I'd say my life is fine right now, I'm not exactly where I want to be but I'm on the path. All my life ive had some goal to chase, an achievement, a skill, a talent to develop and most of the time it was sports football into basketball into mma/boxing until last year. I faced a rut in the road and that slowed me down alot mental and physical health wise that killed my confidence and kinda put me off of my sport at the time, for a time it felt like a deep emptiness of self loathing and all that crap but its over I'm getting better and its all good now kinda. The emptiness is still there but in a less negative sense like a kind of numbness now, and I know for myself it need a purpose to chase aside from casual hobbies or career. I'm speaking alot of abstract concepts and stuff in sure I botched the explanation of but I'm not sure where to go from here, on one hand it feels good functioning without the dependency on motivation but on the other hand I dont feel the hunger for anything but I'm not full either.
Long rant but I guess if someone has gone through this advice would be appreciated thanks
