The feeling of having lost yourself
When life goes on and there is hardly any of you left in it.
How it usually shows up
- Living by other people's expectations
- Not knowing what you want
- Everything on autopilot
What is happening
This state usually comes after a long stretch of roles and duties, when your own wishes kept being postponed until later.
Coming back to yourself starts not with big decisions but with observation: what is mine and what is not, what drains me, what resonates.
Three first steps right now
- Write down five things you do not do for yourself.
- Stay in silence for 10 minutes with no task.
- Remember what made you glad before there was “no time for it”.
