How to Find Your Passions - What you love to do

How do you find your passion - part 8

What are you drawn to?

What do you love to do?

What activities bring you joy?

What's your favourite part of each day?

A quick way to find your passions

What to do now

Make a list of all the activities you currently choose to do because you love them.

Don't forget things that might relate to people either. Do you love to hang out with people?

Then: group them into categories. It doesn't matter how your categories are organised, this is about making sense to you.

I find it helpful at this stage to make a mind map, like my one below I have started, as an example.
