...when you're feeling lost?

glennsmith · 12-06-2010, 01:44 AM

Get close to nature. Walk barefoot on the grass or sand. Spend an hour in the woods or beach. This is grounding and connecting.

Lost in what sense?

I definitely identify with this. If I can't enjoy nature at the time, I change my surroundings.

Personally I'm a computer person, so if I ever get that feeling I do one of two things start coding or since I live in beautiful Seattle I take a walk in Fremont.

From experience and advice the best thing that has worked for me is to take long walks and just think through what I'm feeling. I actually speak aloud to myself and look crazy.

and drink water. That helps to.

water, try to keep your body healthy and consider your nutrition, and go often into nature to cleanse your energy.

moving meditation is also very helpful.

I agree with all of the above posters. I think it's your body and mind's way of letting you know you're out of balance. Be gentle with yourself and take care of yourself. Nuture yourself, the way you would a child or dear friend.

In other words, focus on you!

Go out with some close mates and enjoy myself, forget my troubles for the time being, live for the moment as every second counts in life.

Go for a long ride.

When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you, till it seems as though you could not hang on a minute longer, never give up then, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn.

Exercise, listen to music, relax.

A couple weeks ago, I felt really down, depressed and, essentially, lost. I've been going through a whole lot of pain and troubles this past year, and the really bad thing is that it all came together at once. It's part of the reason I came to this forum, right? To help deal with all of it.

Anyways, those couple of weeks ago, I turned off the lights in my room, shut everything down, did a bit of smudging, a quick prayer, and then did my first meditation session. It really helped.

Maybe you should give it a try?
