Good afternoon
Before I had children I used to be very motivated and had goals and dreams.
Since having children that has gone all out the window.
I have no goals or hobbies or any idea what I want to do in life.
Don’t really seem to have an interest in anything except my family.
Could anyone suggest ways I can find myself again? I would be very grateful.

What were your old goals? They move and all, but the essence of them tells a lot about the person that made them.
What were your old hobbies? If you loved doing something enough chances are if you went back to it you still would. I went 15 years without picking up a camera, bought myself a nice one and although I still don't get to use it enough it's there for when I can. I enjoy taking photos and get real satisfaction when they turn out nice. I've even had 2 of them put onto canvas to hang in our home. I also engage (in a very small anti-social way) with others who enjoy photography being on an amateur photo sharing website where we share pics, enter them in competitions and follow other photographers we admire.
What did you like doing before having children? Can you resume your interest in them? I crochet, do yoga and like to swim. The first 2 I didn't do before having children. What makes you happy? What gets you out of the house and gives you a little "me time"? Explore new things too? Good luck 😁
