Finding my purpose

Finding my purpose

How do I find a purpose? I feel like all I do is work and raise kids. Like I'm stuck in this never ended cycle. I don't really have any interests and when I do I seem to get over them pretty quickly and get bored. It's starting to really get me down but I don't even know where to start to find me again.

I see it as I'm not contributing to society if I'm not either working or raising my kids. I'm very happy doing both! Maybe you could try some random classes like dance, sports, art etc.

I get like this. I'm a fulltime sales manager so my workload is huge, 3 bonus kids & a bio. No room for hobbies that I used to like so I switched to digital stuff that both me and the kids enjoy. That way I can blend it all together.
For me, as silly as it sounds, it's Pokemon Go haha it gets me out of the house, the kids enjoy it and it gives me something recreational to focus on. It's just something that's "mine" that I can share in without having it taken over, destroyed or dependent on anything other than my own motivation. I don't feel like the kids are missing out because I'm taking me time, I can do it wherever, whenever and it's helped me so much.
My boss is actually into it, for similar reasons
