I relate to everything this guest is feeling, and based on the comments, I’m not alone. I used to work hard and strive for professional success. I took a job that seemed like an exciting step up, but the workplace is so toxic, it killed my passion and drive. I have been actively applying to other jobs, but haven’t landed a new job. I was going to apply to take classes this summer, but the pandemic has put that hold. Trying to remain positive but its hard.
Jen is so smart, she listens to understand, not to respond. It's so rare, and it's awesome. She is really good, and thank her for this question and huge thanks to Mel for answer - it's brilliant as always💫
Omg NURSE JEN out of my mouth I too woke in a job I am so passionate about and after work I am totally different. I have no joy no feeling of purposeness and no peace yes I don’t feel the fire inside me either. Omg. Nurse Jen thank you for coming here and asking your question. You are so brave. I wanted to ask a question but I feared If others watch this video I will be judged negatively !
I’m glad I watched this video. I never thought about the fact that the reason I feel numb in the first place is because all of my needs are met so well, AKA I have such a good life that my only struggle right now is to grow! What a blessing ❤️ there are MUCH worse struggles to have
Thanks for explaining these Mel. Nurse Jen, I know you're feeling quite overwhelmed because of what's going on, & everything is just crazy now with this Covid out-break!! BUT, please know that without dedicated (albeit) very tiring working conditions & long hours nurses & doctors that are struggling to get this under control somehow, you are ALL the only shining moments of help for us, & for ALL of the patients you are caring for. FOR NOW, you are ALL the HEROES on the front-line, doing the absolute best you can!!! GOD BLESS YOU ALL FOR EVERYTHING YOU'RE DOING!! We're ALL sending you virtual hugs with big hearts attached to show & let you know how appreciated we are!! Jen, someday, maybe sooner or later than you expect, a little switch will light up or turn on inside you, & you'll get to your happy place & desires once more!! When Mel was talking to you & mentioned "Maybe you'll write a book".....your face lit up & I could see a spark or a passion there....so, maybe you should start writing some things down & see what comes, kiddo!! Good Luck, & please remain true to yourself.
Passion and purpose. Thank you so much Mel. It's really a fresh thing coming from another person even though we have already listened to it many times before. Lots of love
Wow this is exactly what I needed to hear after what feels like years of being confused, stuck, frustrated and not knowing where to start to fix it! Thank you so much xx
I feel so stuck in life right now and like Nurse Jen I felt this before covid. The uncertainty of when covid is going to end just makes me more anxious and it drives me crazy when I don't know where to go or what to do.
Omg. For 10+ years I've been believing that my 'work/career'is the issue. Mel is so right.. I've been stunting my growth in so many other ways! Ok career too but now I know this I can be more aware of it and stop changing what works and start looking at what's missing! Thanks you so much for this!!!
Boy, been there, didn't know what to do for growing financially, (job), didn't know what to do and it felt very scary. Well, no longer thinking of a "job" which the one now I can't stand, appreciate the pay check which is way way below what I should be making with a college degree, etc., but I am delving back into my entrepreneurial aspirations again.. this time I'm gonna stick with it! At the same time, I need to work on "ME".. being happy, etc.
I really love how Mel explains different concepts of our lives and how to see things in a proper way. She helps me with clarifying what is in my mind and thanks to her hints I feel more peaceful and calm. Thank you Mel❤️❤️
Wow Mel, this is a real paradigm shift. I was screaming and suffering and can relate to the way Jen speak with. I was trying to relate to someone and explain but no one understands this point. I can now relate to Mr. Stephen Covey the 7 habits of highly of effective people about growth and maturity. For a while, I tried to sort things by my own but fails and don't know what to do next. You make it clear that it is a problem with growth as we as human beings need to progress and move forward, again thx
Wow!! From reading the comments here it seems this is a pandemic all on its own. I also know that feeling far too well. You feel dead on the inside and nothing seems to get the fire going again. Thank you Mel Robbins for creating a place we can all come to get answers, hope and some understanding. It's nice to know I'm not the only one going thru this and that there is hoping on getting out of it. We love you Mel Robbins and please keep doing what you do. Praying everyone is safe and well and finds their passion again. God bless!!
OMG 😳 this is so helpful, I’m so glad you have explained this way Mel. It makes total sense, I have been feeling stuck for a while, thank you so much for clarifying passion vs purpose.
A tip; Focus on good food, sleeping habits & working out. And if something is outside of your control try and shift your attention, there is nothing you can do. Be proactive, strengthening the immune system is the best action you can take. 🍀🌎
oh gosh, i just tuned in (haa ha). passion is for me, that energize me and bring me joy and feel fulfilled. purpose is what i do for other people and for the global good. so... this distinction is simply perfect. I love to draw and get in the zone where five hours feels like fifteen minutes. i do my best to apply this to work, home, workouts, nutrition, all good things that feel good after i've taken the first step, where music, art, dance and prayer are where i start, and then I feel good. kind of like esther hicks explanation of the law of attraction, or prayer by faith without evidence of any roi, i feel better giving to others, but i feel, FEEL more connected and nourished and alive, giving attention to the highest Source first, from which I 'suddenly' feel watered, weeded, pruned and part of the whole creative consciousness, the fabric and weave all of a piece. when I feel stuck, not bored per se, but uninspired, flat, no fizz (some call it motivation and lack thereof), i now am practicing, following interspecies communicators like Anna Bretenback, Samantha Khury, others, whose gift of telepathic, non-verbal, intuition, seeing with the inner eyes, are what we all have but don't practice consciously. until we do, 'on purpose', tune in to our breathing in the moment, letting go the mind's thoughts, chatter, and inner critics, memorials to guilt, worldly chaos and conflicting opinions. Allowing the already present awareness of nature, or immediate environment to simply be, to seep into our awareness, where i am seeing what or who is right in front of me, and gently pulling the plug on my monkey mind's assessments, with gratitude for our senses, the instruments of perception (not simply as a receiver, but as one with one item of attention on purpose, a chair, a cat, a plant). When my breath, mind, heartbeat, and focus are synchromized, and images being (already and always 'on') broadcast (from animate and/or inanimate subjects) go from fuzzy and opaque to more clear, then, gradually the function of discernment can translate those 'unknown languages' in our inner being. With practice, trust (in ourselves, not in our beliefs about ourselves that we learned from in utero forward) (and yes, karen, we do 'hear' in utero, so keep your nasty tone to yourself, or better yet, go bake something); with a willingness to listen in and 'see' with the whole body and inner spirit, the movements, patterns, actions, sounds, ideas we are picking up on, those 'non-physical/yet substance of things unseen' begin to take on the sense of substance, the feel of weight, dimension, concord or discord, even where that perception is emanating from . eventually tangible 'things' become what others can also understand, see, feel, and hopefully, release their fears... in other words, when the emperor realizes he has no clothes, it's time to get dressed, not stressed. Fear is said to be an acronym: 'false expectations appearing real'. When we feel 'fear', we have already received/imagined/interpreted, and re-broadcast the energy and those mis-understandings to our cells, our brain, our atmosphere, environment, people, pets, plants, and... purpose. And yet, what is always present, if hidden in plain sight, is our gift of choice. I can wig out over the images my inner antenna are tuning in to, or i can press the mental and spiritual remote to pause, reverse, or delete...i get to change the channel. I don't have to... I get to. I get to listen to others, and learn from mis-takes and poor scripting, and even worse directors, editors, so-called team players and heirarchies, castes, and extras. I am facing, burning, pruning, weeding and repurposing sminthsonian quantities of files, cabinets, dioramas, habits, addictions, and reels of canned and digital movies that are memorials to death, guilt, shame, inexperience, loyalties to ignorant people, horrendous human atrocities (i learned this from the family escaped from and those who missed auschwitz) anywhere and at any period on the timeline of human history. I've become willing to see that they did what they knew at that time, not agreeing, condoning, or fighting what was, but rather, sharpening the tools i am good at, refining the ones that i want to learn, and not trying to be a carbon copy of others' gifts with attendant self-loathing when i don't 'measure up'. By whose standards are we supposed to measure up to, when so many extroverted examples broadcast hate, division, murder? and aren't those the precursors to every inflammation, every illness, every person/plant/thing that is in the line of fire? We get to tune in to Mel, to way more healthy broadcasts in every area of interest. Using this time to separate the wheat from the tares, or for those like me, gluten-intolerant, the weeds from the blossoms, can 're-purpose' our whole life, not simply/only/unfortunately-or not financially, business/work/job/kids/hobbies/health, but what is the very foundation that supports all these things. We grew in utero, in the dark, not knowing how the process of development felt, but just went with the flow. With time, a specific amount of time, give or take a few days, what was formed in the dark, broke through the chrysalis into the light of a new possibility. When identical/fraternal twins separated at birth are blessed to find each other, there are often intrinsic traits, and habits that are 'hard-wired', but the rest has to do with exposure, environment, experiences. Yet we all have another hard-wired, unique-to-us ability, as individual as a fingerprint, and as beautiful as a crystal. Ask, seek knock, keep knocking off the past yet retain the lessons and apply them now. Let the good stones in your foundation support the next level, and the next.
Why it looks so easy when is from outside.. why it is easier for Outsiders Outsiders see it as something that you can solve as if it was easy. Real stuck is a situation where you really can't do anything that can change your situation because you have no OPPORTUNITY no OCCASIIONS where that can happen. The only thing I can do is pray honestly there is nothing else that can give us hope
I ALWAYS feel that my brain is numb, even if I try to think I can't get into my brain it feels weird and it hurts. So even if I do my passion in day to day basis it's the same result I CANT ACCESS INTO MY BRAIN!
Things better change for the better soon or I swear the virus will be the second biggest cause of death during this crisis, only to be exponentially dwarfed suicide
Hey.. Mel... In these days of quarantine.. My parents keep on abusing each other.... And i m forced to live with them... I am getting out of control.. Don't know what to do.... I wake up in fights sleep in fights... Don't really know what should be done
@@raquel1236 they just shout at each other and deal with their moods and get calmed down.. What about me... I m just having to have FORCED MOOD SWINGS by them.... I have no role in that.. But feel anxious and sad and also I have no one to shout at to calm me down
I hear both of you (@Raquel fillipe+ Madhav Singh) and im sorry to hear you are in those situations. Maybe theres a friend or trusted adult you can talk to? If not I'm here for you as well as other members of the stay connected community
@@madhavsingh8431 that's a rubbish situation and reminds me a massive amount of my own childhood.. Its a hard thing to listen to on a daily basis I know that for sure, I wish I had advice for you as that's what your seeking but unfortunately I don't :( I sometimes think if I had let them know how much its upsetting me it may have changed.. I never did tell them.. But you still maybe could?
@@raquel1236 also this goes to both you guys.. Your parents are probably scared too but they bottle that all up and go about doing the household chores etc.. But half the time they are worrying about death and this whole situation and then can snap at you for the smallest thing.. I know that too as I'm a dad now and I'm far too snappy with my children.. And it's all down to my anxiety and fear and me trying to hide that from them Hope this helps at least a little
Purpose = what I do for others. Passion = what I do for myself.
When passion meets service, your purpose is born. Plain and simple! ✨
This is good, I have never heard passion and purpose explained like this.
Wow! Only 6 minutes to make a drastic change. This heart & soul needs hit the nail on the head. This is amazing! Thank you 🙏🏻
This is how I feel right now. I feel like I am lost. I forget what I can be. Thank you for bringing back my sanity.
Me too! I've been lost for way too long.
@@anns1921 we can overcome this 💪
@@poclaystory6938 Yes we can!

Mel...you make so much sense about the signals with what is not being met.
Jen is so smart, she listens to understand, not to respond. It's so rare, and it's awesome. She is really good, and thank her for this question and huge thanks to Mel for answer - it's brilliant as always💫

I really feel for nurse Jen. I am in the same situation. ICU covid nurse in UK who is originally from Greece and stuck in UK.
Stay strong!
Absolutely spot on. I have started to study again for myself to feel I am growing. The purpose is given by my job. Thank you for this.
I for the first time feel understood ♥️
I tried to explain this to people I live and I told I’m crazy. I needed this thank you mel💗
Love you too 😘
Absolutely, it was like living in mute and no one could hear you whatever you screamed and shouted
Thanks Nurse Jen for speaking honestly for all of us 🌹🌹

Thank you Mel. Totally helps me with what I am dealing with where I am in life.
Jen, you're my lovely hero! I love you brave soldier ❤🌹😘
Oh mel u never seize to make me feel better i love you.
I feel so stuck in life right now and like Nurse Jen I felt this before covid. The uncertainty of when covid is going to end just makes me more anxious and it drives me crazy when I don't know where to go or what to do.
I think that most fortunate souls are those who reconcile the two.
♾☯️🧠⚖️💜☮️♾
Regardless of the interestinf things Mel says in the video, anyone else sees how kind and sensitive she always is ?
I also feel stuck and numb for years... Starting growing is the best thing I should try, thank you for that!
Indonesia watching you, Mel... Thank you for describing between Purpose and Passion
Omg. For 10+ years I've been believing that my 'work/career'is the issue. Mel is so right.. I've been stunting my growth in so many other ways!

This was fantastic insight on purpose vs. passion.
Once again I am so glad for this explanation, I am glad I saved it because I need to listen to this 💯 times.
Thank so much for this! Exactly what I'm facing now.
Incredible advice.

@@mislimislimisli3331 does yoga or meditation really help or it's just waist of time?
Ra Haff yoga helps, but real thing is in nutrition and to nourish your body with vitamins, minerals and rest.
So what if you don't know what your passion is?
