Have you ever reached an important goal, something you had to work toward for a long time?
If so, what was it? How did you accomplish it? And how did you feel after?
A recent article in the Well section is about how it’s normal to feel a little lost after an accomplishment. As the piece puts it, “Pursuing a goal can give you a sense of identity and purpose, so reaching the end can feel a bit like having the rug pulled out from under you, even if you are thrilled with the results.”
Can you relate to this feeling? What, if anything, did you do to recover?
