How to Know You May Not be in Your Element. Part 2 of 3

Operating outside of your element can be a source of frustration, anxiety, and lack of fulfillment. But how do you know if you're in that position? Here are some signs that you may not be operating in alignment with your element:

  1. You're constantly struggling to keep up or make progress in your chosen path.
  2. You feel unfulfilled, bored, or unhappy with your work or personal life.
  3. You feel like you're putting on a show or pretending to be someone you're not.
  4. You're not making use of your natural strengths and abilities, or you're constantly trying to improve in areas where you don't excel.
  5. You feel like you're swimming upstream, trying to succeed in an area where you just don't seem to fit.
  6. Although short-lived, you're more motivated by external rewards (like money or recognition) than by internal satisfaction and fulfillment.

If any of these sound familiar, it may be time to take a closer look at whether you're operating in alignment with your element. While it can be scary to make changes or pursue a new path, the benefits of operating in alignment with your element can be significant. So take some time to reflect on where you're at, and consider whether it's time to make a change.

I think you have found your element! Part one of this series was personal and it got me thinking about myself. Part two is very clear and identifies the tell-tale signs of a purposeless and unfulfilling life. Thank you for taking your time discussing this important subject and sharing your knowledge with us.
