Easy way to help someone find out what to do with their life

Some people find it hard to decide what to do with their lives.

I recently discovered a couple of easy ways to make unconscious minds talk.


While I was chatting on the 'phone to a friend, she said:-

'I really don't know what I want to do with my life.'

Without a moment's hesitation, I said:-

'Yes you do,'

Immediately she said...'I'd like to travel, and work as part of a team where I can be valued for skills other than mothering...'

'Did you hear that?' I said.

A similar incident happened with my daughter. She was also telling me she didn't have any vision for what she wanted to do with her life. This time I simply stayed silent, believing she did know.

Without a pause for breath, she said:-

'I had a dream a few days ago that I was running a green events company.'

'So you do know really.' I said.

She seemed quite surprised to hear herself say it.

Whilst we think we don't know what to do with our lives, maybe part of us does. We just don't know that we do know, so we can't access this precious information on our own....

Test it yourself...

Next time you hear someone say 'I don't know what to do with my life,' simply remind yourself that they do know really - more accurately, their unconscious mind knows. See if you feel moved to either leave a gap in the conversation or say 'Yes you do'. Then wait and see if anything unexpected pops up.

Let me know how it goes. I'd love to hear your stories, and any other tips to prompt another person's unconscious mind to speak to them!
