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.
