Manage the guilt
It can be challenging to have multiple interests - you may be critisised for following too many pursuits. Another issue is feeling guilty for giving up an interest half way. Quitting is not giving up. It is choosing to focus your attention on something more important.
Points to help you manage the guilt:
- Consume social media content with caution.
- Limit your time with people who speak negatively about your passions.
- Journal. To give clarity, write down your thoughts and the reasons for them.
- Forgive yourself when you choose something not true to yourself because of external pressure. You'll get there. Forgive others too, as they don't know better.
