Lost in translation...!

There comes a time we all feel we've lost our way, our sense of who we are or where we're going, that's normal. But it's the finding our own way out, without other's or our own judgements on who we should be, that can be the hardest.

To quote a Paramore song lyrics "I should have known when things are going good, that's when I get knocked down". I resonate with those words immensely; it is at times when I free my soul, for example through dancing, that can very quickly turn into a panic attack.

Sometimes it's the smallest part that can make you feel off kilter, other times it can be something big or several little things. Like this picture below things can seem focused or blurred or crammed full of stuff. The best way I find myself is through a mirror talk/exercise or journaling or getting out for a walk.

I ask myself: What are 7 things I'm proud of? What are 7 things I forgive myself for? What are 7 things I commit myself to? I got those tips from Lisa Nichols. If time or money wasn't an issue what would I do? What would I tell my best friend? What is one small step I can take right now? It may feel odd at first so having others to assist you to find the answers within yourself can really benefit, but that isn't to say you can't do it alone.

I'm trying so hard to stay positive lately but everything has just been challenging that at times I've felt a little lost. I feel there's a question mark over what I'm doing or where I'm going, so I know I need to take some time to rediscover my path but I get easily frustrated when things don't come as quickly as I'd like. At the same time Necrophobia has been a little unsettling, I don't want to wake up 20 years (or even 1 year) from now and feel like I've not got anywhere.

Do you relate? What helps you?
