Expert Answer

Distance yourself from people who are overly judgmental or critical of the way you choose to live your life. Their voice can begin to drown out your own, and you can begin to feel bad about yourself or question your path in life. You also have to be able to identify the things in your life that you can't change. Once you have a good awareness of the things in your life that are yours to control, you can put your energy into improving those things, instead of anxiously focusing on things you don't have any control over.

Journaling is a way to get more space in your mind. It can offer a space to let out your feelings and witness your thoughts on the page. You can try stream of consciousness writing or specific prompts.

Don't compare yourself to others. Love your body and surround yourself with people that you can be yourself around. Try watching TV shows, reading books, and joining groups or clubs that make you feel better about yourself. Focus on the positive and try to be grateful for what you have.

Expert Answer

First, ask yourself if you're feeling unfulfilled because of something internal, or your environment. You may need to figure out where you're missing connection in your life, whether that's spiritual, mental, or emotional. Then, you can tackle the other areas of your life to figure out how to increase your sense of well-being and fulfillment.
