What is it to feel lost?

There are many possible reasons, personal to each of us.

Looking back, I recognise some of the things that have contributed to me feeling lost at one time or another:?

  • Living life in fear - letting it permeate everything I do, resulting in disconnection and inaction
  • Feeling out of place and surrounded by toxic people
  • Reliving the past full of judgement about my judgement?- shoulda, woulda, coulda
  • Living life according to the opinions of others - giving personal power away, people pleasing
  • Running fast daily from thing to thing, lost in the noise of life’s demands, no longer able to hear myself

Feeling lost can be deeply uncomfortable. ?

Rather than pressure yourself to get unlost, here's some things you might try first:?

  1. Empty your mind - write down ALL you are feeling.
  2. Take a step back and time out, change your environment.
  3. Practice self-compassion and self acceptance.
  4. Speak to a friend to feel heard. Share your feelings, without trying to fix them.
  5. Stay curious about what you are feeling without judgement, just notice what is coming up for you.

Feeling lost and the emotions that go with it can feel overwhelming.

In many ways it is part of life's journey to help us find and make ourselves.

Acknowledging that, feeling lost is actually a useful sign from our internal compass, calling us to pay attention to the truth we are running away from, can help us to make necessary changes in our lives.

In my experience, feeling lost, can be a wonderful blessing in disguise. I've learned to listen to the internal wisdom alerting me that it's time to lead myself forward.

If you have ever felt lost and found yourself...

What advice would you give someone to help them move through it?

What silver linings have you realised?

Having the time to reconnect with yourself can make a lot of difference. You will be able to see clearly when you have awareness to pull yourself out of the negativity.
