7 Tips to Find Yourself When You ' re Feeling Lost
Whether you ’ ve lost yourself in your job , relationship , your role as a parent or simply feel lost in life in general , you are not alone . It doesn ’ t mean your life is doomed and that you will never find yourself again . It simply means you are going through an incubation period and transformation . The key is not to get stuck in your current lost state and to tap into your creative power to create a life you love .
Here are seven tips that will help you out of this lost state and remind you of the power you have to create a life you love .
1 . Remember what you love to do and go do it ! Do you remember the last time you had fun in your life ? Do you remember when things felt easy and in the flow ? It was likely because you were fully engrossed in the fun of the moment . As we grow up , we lose sight of how amazing life can be because we feel burdened by the responsibilities and mundane parts of life . It ’ s time to reconnect with what you love and to take action on it . No more excuses about not having the time , money , resources , babysitter etc . Make a commitment to do what you love and watch your life change before your very eyes .
2 . Go on an adventure . Whether it ’ s a day trip , a solitary retreat , or a week-long drive along the coast , go out and explore the world . This will not only allow you to tap into the flow , but it will also give you the time and focus to really reconnect with yourself again . You ’ ll be away from the noise of your regular life and will be able to see and experience the world with fresh eyes . I promise , when you come back you will have far more clarity about where you are going than you had when you started .
3 . Reconnect with your dreams and dream BIG . What kinds of dreams did you have for your life before you lost yourself in the busy-ness of life ? What have you since deemed impossible or improbable because of where you are today ? Grab a journal and reconnect with the dreams you once had and better yet , come up with some new dreams . In a perfect world , what would you love to be , have , or do ? What is your soul aching for ? Once you reconnect with your dreams , you ’ ll have the desire and inspiration to begin to take action and suddenly you will have found yourself again .
4 . Expand your comfort zone regularly . It ’ s time to get uncomfortable by trying new things and meeting new people . Growth doesn ’ t happen by staying in your bubble of comfort where everything is familiar . Challenge yourself to do something that is slightly terrifying , yet invigorating . That is what I like to call the zone . It ’ s the space where you are stretching yourself just enough to continue to grow and evolve . What ’ s the first thing that came to mind for you ? Go do that !
5 . Get quiet and listen . Everyday there are signs , messages , and guideposts that will inspire you to act , but you only notice them if you are open . With all the mind chatter and busy-ness we have these days it can be difficult to recognize the signs that are all around , so it ’ s important to get quiet and listen . Pay attention to the signs on the road , songs on the radio , and the people you meet in the street . There are messengers all around with Divine guidance to help you move forward on your path . Your key to finding yourself may very well be on a billboard or come to you as a thought in the shower . Listen up , pay attention , and then follow through on your inspired action .
6 . Remember you have the power to be , have , and do anything you desire . Sometimes the feeling of being lost is all-consuming and you forget that you get to choose what you think and how you feel . You are given a great amount of power to create the life you desire and get the answers you are looking for . Whether you use affirmations , mantras , meditation , yoga , journaling or something else , it ’ s important to focus on the beauty and joy around you . When you do that , the Universe sends you more of the same , including the answers you are seeking .
7 . Ask for help . There are so many people in the world whose purpose it is to help people like you . Reach out and ask for help . You don ’ t have to figure this out all on your own and sometimes simply having a chat with someone can provide the insight you need to move forward with ease . Whether it ’ s a life coach , mentor , friend , counselor , or the Divine , ask for help and be open to the guidance and tools that come your way .
