Then start to really think about the impact you want to make in the world. What do you really want your life to have been about? You say you want to help people make changes in their lives - for the purpose of what?...

When you have been off sick and have been stressed the brain really shuts down in terms of considering possibilities and so I'm not surprised that you feel stuck right now. What I have tried to suggest are ways to reconnect to what brings you pleasure and what your talents are. These will be the first signposts to your future career.
