Reconnecting with yourself when you feel off ✨
Hi Reader,
How connected to yourself do you feel right now? By that, I mean how clear are you on your wants, needs, goals, beliefs, and values?
If the answer is ‘not very’, you're not alone. It’s easy to feel disconnected from what you want and who you want to be.
You might not even notice the disconnection because, let's face it, we're all trying to escape from what's happening in the world right now. We need distractions to keep us from losing it altogether.
Though I have my nights of extended scrolling, I always wake up the next day feeling like I've been hit by a bus.
Escapism can only serve its purpose for so long until we feel like we're not ourselves anymore.
We need to make sure we're connecting with what brings us harmony and giving ourselves the care we need.
In order to not lose our sense of self completely, we have to come back to what grounds us.
So before jumping on social media or opening your inbox in the morning, spend time with yourself first. Before you go to bed, put away the screens and take a moment to reflect on your day and what you're grateful for.
Make sure you're protecting your own energy and making space for what YOU need.
If you feel like journaling it out, here are five journal prompts for self-connection.
Sending you blissful vibes,
Catherine

But what if these thoughts are caused by our habitual minds rather than the situations we find ourselves in? Buddhist teacher...
Hi Reader, Have you gone down the rabbit hole of personality systems and color analysis like I have? From astrology to Myers-Briggs, many of us find comfort in categorizing ourselves. These tools give us words to describe who we are and why we are the way that we are. They help us feel understood and seen. But what happens when the need to get everything 'right' becomes overwhelming? I’ll admit that I’ve been deep down the color analysis rabbit hole (if you’re not sure what I’m talking about,...
Hi Reader, Does life ever feel so unnecessarily complicated? If it does, you’re not alone. I recently moved to a new state and was in the process of trying to get health insurance. I started my online application (great, so easy), but the system couldn’t seem to verify who I was. I gave them a call (not so easy), and they told me I’d have to speak with a registered agent, in person, who could verify my identity (okay…sensing this isn’t going to be easy at all). I called all three recommended...
