There was a time when I felt like I was just… existing.
Not really living. Not really feeling.
Just floating from one day to the next, doing what needed to be done—on autopilot.
I couldn’t quite put a finger on it at first. I just knew something felt off.
Disconnected.
Even from myself.
If you’ve ever felt that way too—like you’ve somehow drifted away from you—
know this: you’re not alone.
And more importantly, it’s not permanent.
These small shifts didn’t change everything overnight— but they opened a door .
A door back to presence, to peace, and to parts of me I’d forgotten.
1. Pause the Noise
One day, I just put my phone on silent and stepped outside.
No music, no scrolling, no distractions—just me and the sound of the wind.
It felt strange at first… almost uncomfortable. But in that stillness, I heard something I hadn’t heard in a long time—my own thoughts.
And you know what? Some of them were beautiful. Others were messy.
But they were mine.
And that was the first moment I felt a tiny spark of reconnection.
Sometimes, silence speaks louder than any advice.
2. Ask Yourself Real Questions
I started journaling—not fancy, not curated. Just real, raw, messy words.
Instead of asking “What should I do?” like I always did, I asked:
“What do I need?”
It was a question I’d never taken seriously before.
But suddenly, answers poured out: “Rest. Space. Laughter. More sunsets. Less pressure.”
And for once, I actually listened.
3. Revisit What Lit You Up
There was a version of me who used to listen to songs , who used to sketch , who used to walk just to see the sky change colors.
I missed her.
So I found little ways to bring her back. A playlist. A blank sketchbook . A short walk with no destination.
It felt awkward at first. But slowly, those little joys became familiar again.
Reconnecting with yourself often means returning to the things that once made your soul light up.
4. Feel, Don’t Fix
I had to learn that I didn’t need to solve everything.
Some days, I just sat with my emotions—no plans, no answers, just presence.
I cried. I journaled. I stared at the ceiling.
And that was healing too.
Because feeling is part of the journey back to wholeness.
5. Start Showing Up—for You
I began doing small things with love:
Drinking more water. Making my bed. Stretching in the morning. Sleeping on time (or at least trying to).
Not because I had to. But because I was worth showing up for.
These were simple acts, yes—but they were powerful.
Because every time I did them, I was telling myself: “I matter.”
🌸 A Gentle Reminder from Me to You:
You’re not lost.
You’re just becoming.
This season of confusion? It’s actually your invitation to rediscover who you really are—beyond the noise, beyond the roles, beyond the expectations.
So if you’re feeling distant from yourself, take a deep breath and come back home—to you.
You are enough. You always were.
If any of this speaks to your heart, I hope you’ll stay with me.
Because this journey of coming home to ourselves?
It’s just beginning.
