Locate Your Meaning Signals: What Actually Feels Worthwhile to You

Find your purpose and learn how to find meaning in life by decoding your personal “meaning signals.” This episode blends psychology of happiness, emotional fulfillment, and meaningful life habits so you can discover what matters to you and follow your passions. You’ll walk away with a simple, science-backed process to feel more alive and move toward real meaning and fulfillment.

What You'll Learn:

• Understand what “meaning signals” are and why they’re the fastest way to discover what truly matters to you.
• Recognize the emotional, cognitive, and physical cues that tell you an activity is genuinely meaningful (not just impressive or socially rewarded).
• Differentiate between quick hits of pleasure and the deeper glow of meaning so you can prioritize what actually feels worthwhile.
• Use a simple written reflection exercise to capture your personal meaning signals and make them easier to notice in daily life.
• Identify one concrete area of your current life (work, relationships, creativity, health) where meaning signals are already trying to guide you.
• Design one tiny, achievable action this week that aligns with your meaning signals so you build momentum without overwhelm.
• Avoid common misconceptions about “finding your purpose,” like thinking it must be grand, career-based, or instantly clear.
• Create a repeatable weekly habit for checking in with your meaning signals to support long-term personal growth and fulfillment.
