A change of direction
If you’ve been stuck in a rut for too long and need to make some changes, it can be hard knowing what to do to get out of it. Talking it through with someone can really help to see things differently and find the motivation to change or the direction you need. Call in to Castlegate and talk things through with a worker in confidence.
Check out the library or bookshops for ‘self-help’ guides to give you inspiration and the confidence to kickstart your ideas or to change something abut yourself or your life that you are not happy with. They are available on anything from giving up smoking to giving up a damaging relationship.
The internet has lots of useful information. Use it for free (and get help to get started if you need it) at Castlegate, York Central Library or local libraries. Check out the youth information website for ideas.
Stuck in a job you hate? Check the papers to see what jobs are out there, even if you don’t have the qualifications or experience yet. Send for the information to see if it interests you and what you would need to do to get it. If you see someone doing something that interests you, ask them about it and how they got into it.
