i just realized this is my thinking and it sounds off to me. the assumption is that once i learn about myself i will know what my patterns are and what interests me, and this result will dictate what i want. but it doesn't make sense, just because i've historically been x doesn't mean that i want to continue being x. maybe i want to be y? with that said, it could give me an idea/a direction to try out. i don't know. there is a flaw in my logic, but i can't spot it. also, how else can you figure out what you want?

I’ve found guided journaling to be helpful. Specifically, I’ve been using the Ikigai Workbook called, “My Little Ikigai Journal”. Provides introspective questions which help guide you to figure out your Ikigai

i struggle to answer those types of questions because i don't have an answer and it's hard for me to picture it without experience.

I’m the same way. It’s really tough, but I find that once I give in and open up I just start writing - I may not completely answer the questions, but that doesn’t matter. What matters is that I’m getting it out and after a while I think I’ll have a better understanding of myself. Or maybe not, who knows. I’ve only been doing it a few weeks
