TODAY'S LEARNING
Ways To Reconnect With Yourself

Life can throw us a curveball occasionally, leaving us emotionally disoriented and alone. Fortunately, there are simple steps you can take to support your emotional wellbeing and help you reconnect with your authentic self and the world around you.

1. Reach out

Never undervalue the importance of human connection. Speak with loved ones, friends, or licensed counselors to express your feelings. Just putting your feelings into words can occasionally feel wonderfully freeing.

2. Put away electronics

Overusing technology can also work against us by isolating us more often than connecting us. Consider your usage of your laptop, tablet, and phone, and set aside some time every day to disconnect and interact with the outside world. Or, to help you reset, think about going on a social media detox.

3. Practice mindfulness

We can feel disengaged at times because we're rushing through our days without much thought. Including some mindfulness in your daily routine can truly help you to re-center yourself if you find that you are becoming too disconnected from your environment. This does not imply that you must meditate for an hour every day. To establish a connection with oneself, you could even attempt simply eating your meals attentively. Take note of the flavors, textures, and scents of your meal as well as how it feels and tastes when you bite into it. By taking time with your meals and tapping into that mindfulness you can turn one of your daily necessities into a way to connect better with your own body and mind.

4. Journal

Putting your thoughts on paper can offer valuable insights into your feelings. Maintaining a journal can be an introspective exercise that facilitates emotional organization and awareness.

Taking steps to alleviate your disconnection doesn't mean you must overhaul your entire life. Gradually, little adjustments made consistently can have a big effect. So choose a few items from this list and begin implementing them into your daily life to see how they can contribute to a sense of community.

5. Schedule time with yourself

Resetting your emotional compass can be achieved through self-care. Self-care can be practiced in a variety of ways, and no method is superior to another. To unwind, you don't need to spend the entire day in a spa. Some people enjoy spending time by themselves with a nice book and a cup of tea. For some, it could be taking a warm bath with aromatherapy and soothing music, or going for a stroll with their pet. Find a way that works best for you, but it’s important that whatever activity you choose is focused on giving to yourself.

6. Spend time in nature

Spending time in nature can sometimes be the best way to find yourself again. Anybody who lives in a city may find this challenging because they may not have access to long walking pathways through forests or mountain climbing trails.

Even a little time spent in a park can improve your connection to nature if you live in a busy city. If it's warm enough to remove your shoes, pay attention to the colors and movement of the trees as well as the sensation of the grass beneath your feet. You could even just take a moment to relax and enjoy the sensation of the breeze on your face, the sound of birds chirping, or the company of small children.

ZEN STORY
A Mother’s Advice

Jiun, a Shogun master, was a well-known Sanskrit scholar of the Tokugawa era. When he was young he used to deliver lectures to his brother students.

His mother heard about this and wrote him a letter.:

“Son, I do not think you became a devotee of the Buddha because you desired to turn into a walking dictionary for others. There is no end to information and commentation, glory and honor. I wish you would stop this lecture business. Shut yourself up in a little temple in a remote part of the mountain. Devote your time to meditation and in this way attain true realization.”
