Connect with yourself, love yourself and find your purpose!
But first, ask yourself a simple question like 'how do I reconnect with myself?' Trust me, you need this answer more than you think - living without discovering how to connect with yourself is a game of stress and frustration. And because it is not what we get or how we are perceived that makes us happy. It is simply who we become, how we live our lives and who we are as a human being. Remember, people can take away all of the 'materials', but sure no one can take away who you are. And falling in love with yourself is vital to our living and having a fulfilling life.
'Self connection' is not just something you 'should' do, but it is rather something you 'have to' do. If you want to reconnect with yourself, your life is likely less than fulfilling right now. You might be stuck in an unfulfilling job. You might not feel supported in your relationship or friendships. You could even be experiencing anxiety or depression. These are all symptoms that are telling you it is time to discover how to reconnect with yourself. And remember, do never blame yourself, we have all been there at some stage in our life. And I am proud that you have come so far and start working on yourself. A lot of people never get to that stage but the real beauty comes from the inside and from the moment you start loving yourself and embracing every part of your body.
1. Understand your needs
Your purpose is closely connected to the 'six human needs'
- Certainty
- Significance
- Variety
- Love
- Growth
- Contribution
And while every individual has all six of these needs, there is one for each person that is the most powerful. The one that drives our decisions, our behaviours – and that when met, makes us feel fulfilled. Once you determine your top human need, you can begin to learn how to reconnect with yourself. Never let your limiting beliefs make you think you do not deserve to have your needs met. Stop constantly putting others before yourself, without filling your own 'cup' first. Once you identify your needs, meet them. Take a timeout for 'self care'. Ask others for what you need. Being your best self allows you to give even more from a place of fulfilment.
2, Reconnect with yourself on a physical level
Fitness and workouts to me are one of the ultimate means of 'self expression'. Find something that involve some dynamic movement and see what happens after continiously working on that. Start to understand your own natural movement, search for your 'center' and through it connect to your body. By doing this, you sure will connect to your true essence of the soul, which (at the end of the day) is the main source of inspiration in which as an individual, has unlimited creativity and potential. You might find yourself be doing drawings instead. It is ok too. Find one thing that gives you joy, happiness, that spirit that drives you forward. As long as you move - you are still alive!
3. Find your every day purpose
You do not have to settle for less than you can be, share, give or create. Reconnecting with yourself gives you a chance to celebrate your gifts and understand what really drives you. When you know this, the more you can show up for others and the more you can add to the world around you. It is time to determine what really drives you. What makes you feel the most alive. Your purpose in life. Trust me, I know that discovering your purpose is not always easy. We, as humans get stuck in disempowering patterns that trap us in a cycle of failure. We hold limiting beliefs about what we can and cannot achieve in life. We follow a blueprint for happiness that we did not design, allowing society or our families to place expectations on us. We go after money, power and status without connecting it back to something larger – and that is how we fail. Listen to me. You can overpass this failure!!
4. Have you own voice
We tend to think of our voices in a functional capacity, like being able to communicate, to express ourselves, to entertain. However our voices also present a pathway to authentic 'self connection'. Did you know that?
Through the power of voice, we can step out of the way, allow the natural intelligence of our bodies to take over and rediscover the beauty of the 'wild voice'. Through our voice, we can get in touch with our 'inner child and begin to learn how to connect with ourself. Create your own voice and connect with yourself. Just shhhh and listen, the body is talking you!
5. Start writing a journal or diary
To me, writing plays a big role (beside physical activity) in my 'self connection'. Writing about the way your events and experiences made you feel can help you identify and accept your emotions. And by writing down your thoughts about current events or what happened to you that day can help you clarify your opinions and writing down your ideas can make them even stronger.
The benefits of journaling go beyond how to connect with yourself. It can help you ease anxiety, improve your memory and transform your mindset. It can help you focus on the positive as well can help you achieve your goals.
Trust me, starting a journal is as easy as gaining confidence, however takes commitment to build any new habit. Set time aside each day to write, even if it is only for few minutes. You can even start by recording the day’s events and how you felt about them. With writing down things you will get to know more about yourself but most importantly you will start to reconnect with yourself on a different level.
There are many questions you should ask yourself while getting along with the journey of reconnecting to yourself. Just pause. Listen. Debate with your thoughts. In silence. You got this!
And remember, by making quality questions part of your daily ritual, you will be able to access your most empowering emotional states. And over time, as you consistently practice doing so, you will be able to create mental highways to happiness, excitement, pride, gratitude, joy, commitment and love. You will find you, just the you are at your core.
Until next time, S.
