5 Steps To Get Back in Touch With Yourself

Do you feel like you’re losing touch with yourself? Or perhaps do you feel as though there’s an imbalance in your life? If you want to find personal rejuvenation or restore a sense of balance to your life then this article is for you.

Hobbies

One way to find rejuvenation in your life, especially if it seems to be getting repetitive, is to find a new hobby. This is particularly important if you are finding a sense of imbalance in your life. For example, if you’re working all the time, you should take some time to do a relaxing hobby like yoga. But if you find that you have too much free time, then find a new hobby that is a form of work, like gardening. Hobbies are especially important because they’re essentially a way of forcing yourself to be creative, solve problems, and even meet new people. 

Hobbies can also bring about a sense of rejuvenation because you might discover a new passion. This is particularly true if you feel like your life is becoming repetitive or boring, a new hobby is a way to introduce new energy into your life. And who knows? Maybe you’ll discover a new passion, and one day it will be hard to believe that you ever lived without doing that hobby. 

 

Rearrange Your Home and Pay Attention to Feng Shui

Your home has a huge effect on your mood and well-being. It may not be explicitly obvious but the energy that flows through your home is affected by the arrangement of the furniture and therefore affects your mentality. Furthermore, rearranging your home is a great way to bring about appreciation and a feeling of newness in your home. 

Feng Shui is an ancient Chinese practice that focuses on arranging an individual's surroundings in such a way that is in harmony with the flow of energy. This usually results in a welcoming and efficient living space since Feng Shui focuses a lot on decluttering and placing furniture in a way that conveys positive energy flow in the home. 

One of the easiest and best ways to implement Feng Shui in your home is by getting plants. Plants bring an amazing and positive life force to any home. But if you want to learn about other specific ways you can implement Feng Shui into your home, this article is a good place to start.

 

Practice Meditation and Yoga

If you’re truly feeling out of touch with yourself regarding your mind and body, then meditation and yoga are excellent recourses. If you’ve never really been one for meditation or yoga then you’re missing out, especially if you ever feel like life is just passing you by. The main reason that meditation and yoga are so powerful is that they teach you to pay attention to and take care of your body and mind, while being accessible to anyone. All you need to practice meditation and yoga is a comfortable place and some time. 

Meditation has been shown to reduce stress and anxiety and is capable of giving you a sense of spiritual growth. When you practice meditation, you’re essentially learning how to live in the moment. The reason this is so important is that life happens in the moment, so if you're constantly thinking about the past or the future, then you’re missing out on life more than you might think. Meditation can also allow you to have a new perspective on life, particularly in regards to the things that cause you stress.

Yoga goes hand in hand with meditation, in a way Yoga is meditation but with movements. Whereas meditation teaches you to understand your mind and your thoughts, yoga teaches you to understand your body and its pains. Yoga and meditation can also help you learn how to listen to your body and mind, for example, if you struggle with impulse control. If you’re truly feeling out of balance with yourself, then meditation and yoga are crucial for restoring that balance to your life.

Journaling

If you feel like you’re struggling to get in touch with yourself or perhaps struggling to understand why you feel negatively about certain aspects of your life, journaling is a powerful tool. Whether you’re having problems at work, or simply feel like you’re missing something from your life but aren’t quite sure what it is, journaling could help.

When you journal and go back to read your previous entries, you can understand exactly how you were feeling about certain situations in the past and reflect on whether or not the way you felt was warranted. You’re not able to do this by simply reflecting on how you think you felt months ago, because nobody’s memory is perfect. 

Furthermore, journaling is a great way to dissect why certain situations make you feel certain ways. Sometimes a situation can make you feel more negative or stressed than it should, journaling is a way of understanding why you feel that way and therefore finding a solution.

 

Reconnect With Nature

In this post-industrial world, it's very easy to forget that people are a part of nature. That’s why it's very important to connect with nature if you’re finding it difficult to connect with yourself. It may sound strange, but if you immerse yourself in nature, particularly in the wild, it might just feel more natural than you’d think. 

Forest therapy is the practice of immersing people in nature for therapeutic reasons. Whether in an attempt to reduce stress, find relaxation, or feel connectedness with nature and themselves. One study shows that simply being in nature reduces cortisol levels in the brain, a hormone responsible for stress. 

So if you’re looking for a way to feel rejuvenated and less stressed, then a trip to the woods is a great place to start. Not to mention the benefits of practicing the other tips while in nature. Why not bring your yoga mat and journal along with you and make a day of it?
