Hey Psych2goers and welcome back to our channel!
Thank you so much for all the love you’ve given us.
Your ongoing support has helped us make psychology and mental health more accessible to everyone.
Now let’s continue!
Previously, we made a video discussing the signs you might be on the wrong path.
So, today, we wanted to do the opposite and talk about the signs you are on the right
path, even if it feels like you're not.
Have you ever wished someone or something could give you a hint as to what you should
do for your future?
What happened in 2020 has left a lot of people wondering what to do next as expectations
and plans shifted and changed dramatically.
During this time, you might be struggling to find your place.
Here at Psych2Go, we know that it’s very difficult to assess whether or not you are
doing things right.
So, here are seven unexpected signs to give you some confidence and confirmation that
you are on the right path.
ONE.
You are forming quality relationships with others.
Have you ever felt your problems just melt away when you’re spending time with your
friends?
We are all social beings, and we desire human connection and rely on this connection to
have a rich and fulfilling life.
Not every person you meet you’ll form a healthy relationship with.
You might also encounter people who will use you and abuse you, rather than help you.
However, if you notice that you have made very good friends who are actually helping
you achieve your goals, then this is a good sign that you’re on the right path.
Surrounding yourself with good people who are supportive of you, help you get back on
your feet, and are loyal and true will help you as you grow and change in young adulthood.
TWO.
You feel at peace and content.
Did you use to worry over every little decision you had to make?
Big or small, you agonized over what you had to do, and how you were going to get those
things done?
With growth and maturity, this type of worry fades away.
You’ll start to make decisions and no longer question yourself and your choices.
You’ll feel happy and content with yourself and the choices you make.
Confidence in your maturity can make a world of difference.
If you are feeling content and at peace with what you are doing, that is a sign that says
that you are on the right path.
THREE.
Things are getting tough.
Do you keep finding yourself in situations that spiral out of control?
Do things feel heavy and tough to get through, but you keep going anyway?
As the saying goes, “After the storm, the sun will shine again.”
If you feel like things just keep getting worse in your life, that could be a good sign
that you are on the right path.
The most valuable life lessons come out of failure and difficult times.
So, if you are currently experiencing hardship, always remember that things will get better
and that you are on the right path.
Just be sure to keep all the lessons that you learn along the way.
FOUR.
You find yourself thinking less about the past and more about the future.
Do you look back on the past and think, “Man, those were great times?”
Although indulging in nostalgia is fun every now and then, doing this too much can have
you living in the past and keep you from moving forward.
But, if you are being mindful of your future, and are taking steps towards and making plans
for your goals and dreams, then you are doing the right thing.
When you are willing to move forward towards your goals instead of sheltering yourself
in the past, this means that you are on the right path.
FIVE.
You’re mentally satisfied, even if you’re physically exhausted.
Have you ever felt that feeling of accomplishment after working hard during the day?
Feeling satisfaction from what you’re doing, even if this makes you physically exhausted,
is a sign that you’re on the right path.
If you are working extremely hard, and you feel that the satisfaction that you get is
more valuable than the pain of constantly being physically exhausted, then you chose
the right path.
SIX.
Everything seems to align in your favor.
Have you ever experienced the feeling of having everything align for you?
If you haven’t, don’t worry, opportunities are bound to present themselves.
But if you have, this is a good indicator you’re on the right path.
You will feel like you are in the right place, at the right time.
You start meeting the right people and getting the opportunities that you never imagined
would have presented themselves to you.
You might even get the promotion that you never thought would come.
Of course, you might think that this would rely a bit on luck, and yes, it does.
But in the end, more likely than not, things aligning in your favor are the results of
your hard work.
Did you relate to any of these signs?
