12 QUESTIONS TO HELP YOU CHART A NEW PATH FOR YOURSELF IN 2023.

As 2022 draws to a close, we think we can all agree on one thing – it's been a strange year. With the worst of the pandemic (hopefully) behind us, people have finally come out of the dark rooms, looked around, and started asking themselves: What do I do with my life now?

This confused determination to chart a new course, both in life and professionally, is reflected in persistently high attrition rates, a growing interest in entrepreneurship and digital nomadism, and an increase in the number of publications and reflections on how many of us are rethinking your priorities and attitude towards work.

It's clear that many people are determined to reinvent themselves in 2023, but the question is where to start. There are a number of articles by organizational psychologists and even entire books that promise to help guide you on the new path you want to take. But one of the most thought-provoking resources we've stumbled upon recently is a set of questions from Thought Catalog.

The simple list of 31 questions is designed to get you thinking about what motivates you, what drains your energy, what holds you back, and where you ultimately hope to end up. We have selected 12 questions to help you find a new path in 2023:

1. What would my life look like if money was no longer an obstacle?
2. What productive activities do I spend my time doing for no other reason than to make me happy?
3. What traits and values do the people I most admire have?
4. How much money do I need to be "really" happy?
5. How would I like others to describe me?
6. What things do I do just because it makes other people perceive me positively?
7. What do I most look forward to each day?
8. When was the last time I felt a great surge of satisfaction?
9. What did I like to do when I was younger but is no longer a part of my life?
10. What habit do I most want to break this year?
11. What do I want to be remembered for?
12. What would I regret the most if I never tried?

After thinking about these questions, you will be ready to take a new path in 2023.
