I'm a couple of years older but I felt very directionless around your same age. I don't know if it's similar to what you are feeling but I'll share my experience in case it helps.

One thing that helped me was to schedule regular time to be with my own thoughts. This became mornings at a coffee shop with a book and a journal, sometimes after a hike through a local park. I take the time to read last week's entry every time and reflect on it.

Set small goals and forgive yourself routinely. It's through small goals that get transformed into routines that long term goals are achievable.

For me, giving myself "protected" time to actually think helped me a lot with my feeling of directionlessness.
