7 Warning Signs You Are Losing Track of Your Life

Each one of us is sailing uncharted seas every day. Few of us have any idea where we want to sail and most are stuck in a lull in the middle of the sea hoping for a miracle. If you want to avoid losing track of where you are right now in the sea of life, then read the following seven warning signs so you can prepare yourself to face them when they arise.

1. You start each day feeling horrible

If you find yourself waking up with little energy and no excitement, then the chances are high that you are losing track of your life. Those who know what they want in life embrace every new day with exciting plans and the desire to execute them. Be aware that the horrible feelings might also be a sign of depression, so additional help from those around you, especially mental health professionals, might be needed.

2. You drastically lose or gain appetite

This is something I usually experience when I’m in a ‘down’ state. I am a big eater, so I know that if I lose my appetite then that means that I’m not in tune with myself. Another thing that is also prone to happen to me is I have cravings to eat something even though I just had a huge meal a few minutes ago. These sudden changes in appetite are one of the obvious warning signs you are losing track of your life, so be prepared with a plan to bring yourself back into line if it happens at any point in your life.

3. You start to question the reason you are doing the things you do in life

When you start to question the reason you are doing the things you do in life, then 99.99% of the time you are probably not on the right path. This means that you are unsatisfied with how you lead your life and if you continue leading it that way, you will end up becoming someone who harbors hatred towards life. The solution: change yourself. Finding the right path is not easy because it differs from person to person. By changing the way you lead your life, you increase your chances of stumbling onto the right path that you sought to walk along.

4. You seek entertainment but find things are not as entertaining as they used to be

I love to play video games. But there are times when even the most novel of games can’t bring me joy. You might experience the same thing even though you don’t like video games. Your interaction with friends felt dull, last night’s World Cup finals match wasn’t that exciting, and the program on the TV seems to be lacking entertainment value. When entertainment loses its ability to entertain you, then nothing will work unless you get your life back on track.

5. You feel as if you are disconnected from the people around you

Friends are source of joy. Other than that, they are also a way we feel connected to the world around us. Have you ever felt that you are alone in this world? If yes, then that’s a sign that you’re losing a grip on life. No matter how many people you meet, that feeling of connection won’t reemerge because there isn’t a ‘thread’ going out from your soul in the first place.

6.You are constantly thinking destructive, pessimistic thoughts

This is usually the sign of escalating depression. Those who are depressed definitely lose track of their own life. If you are constantly thinking destructive, pessimistic thoughts and finding it hard to turn those thoughts into more positive ones, then you need to check where you are heading right now! Most of the time you may find yourself walking a fine line and even a slight push could make you tumble into the deep, bottomless abyss.

7.You think that there’s no light at the end of the tunnel

If you lose track to the point where you feel you are currently inside a dark cave, then how do you expect to be able to see the light at the end of the tunnel? Someone who doesn’t have a clue where they are is the same as someone who can’t see the solutions to their problems. The solutions are out there but they’ll only reveal themselves to those who have some clarity.
