Feeling lost is a good sign. Why? Because you're finally ready to be found.
I have rather unconventional ways to look at things and this skill of mine comes from years of observing myself and others and the way that we interact with the world, with ourselves and what motivates us, what drives us and what fuels us to become and embody our true self.
One of the best telltale signs that I've noticed of someone whose subconscious is ripe for a deep dive into self discovery and integration is that they finally let themselves feel lost. They let themselves feel, admit to, acknowledge the utterly uncomfortable sensation of I don't know who I am or what I want to do with my life anymore.
It's one of the best telltale signs that you're starting to listen to your being that's been craving wholeness for such a long time because by allowing this feeling to come into your awareness, you're now broadcasting to the universe, to your higher self that you want better for yourself. You're putting forth and getting clear that the way your life is right now is not working for you anymore and hence you're birthing, unknowingly, your expansion.
Your expansion is a synonym for becoming & embodying your true and best self, for your actualized self. And so the very first step towards that, towards your dream life is assessing where you are in your life and choosing with your free will, something else, something better for yourself.
At this stage, where you barely become aware that you actually feel lost, you most probably don't have a clue about what you're supposed to do with yourself from this point on. And that's fine. That's perfectly normal! It's like putting together a puzzle, you must let yourself find the next piece, you must look for it. You can't possibly know beforehand what piece you're going to need next. It's the same thing with feeling lost and acknowledging it.
Congratulate yourself for having the bravery to admit to this truth. Because in this moment, at this phase in your existence, it is the truth. It doesn't mean it's a life sentence and you're going to be lost forever. It just means you're surrendering to where you are. One can't move forward until they admit to where they are. Until they let themselves be where they are first. That's releasing resistance.
And so in the beginning I said that once you re aware you're lost, that's because you're finally ready to be found. What does that mean? Well once you choose and decide that this is no longer working for you, the entire universe is now working to align you with with situations, people and opportunities to guide you, help you to find yourself. Finding yourself when you feel lost is finding your true self. Integrating aspects in your shadows that yearn to come into the light again so you can finally have access to a full life.
But there is one more thing I want you to know about being lost or feeling lost. Even if you may just know discover, become aware and understand that you feel lost, it's not because you suddenly did something to cause this or that something happened that determined this and made you feel lost as a consequence. No. You've actually been lost long before becoming aware that you were lost.
Like I previously said, feeling lost is a sign that your being, your subconscious, you are ready to go seek yourself, to start your inner healing journey.
But up until that point, you built momentum.
You did things, you thought things, you believed things and behaved in ways that got you lost, stranded and far, far away from your truth, from your center, from your authentic self. All your life until the point of becoming aware of being lost, you unknowingly distanced yourself and disconnected yourself more and more from your core, your true self like I said. It's not your fault. It never was.
You simply followed an artificial and erroneous internal guidance that was programmed within your brain by the society and the family you grew up in. As a child, you were praised, seen, loved and accepted only when you stuck to the rules imposed onto you, to the degree that you disowned your authentic self, to the degree that you negated your true wants, your true feelings, your true dreams, your actual desires, emotions, thoughts.
You, like all of us were trained from day one to be lost. To steer away from who you were meant to be in this life.
And you probably distracted yourself enough to not pay attention to this feeling of being lost. You probably did everything right on paper all your life, you did the things that were expected of you, you went to college, you got a good job, you got into a good relationship. You escaped your truth and yourself and there was no time to sit with yourself and truly silence your mind and ask yourself how you were feeling.
In this exhausting race to be a good member of society, there was no time or space for the awareness of the truth, and that truth was that you were a stranger to yourself. And so now, if you find yourself in this predicament and you finally had this realization, the next question for you would be: What are you going to do next? This question forces you to bring your awareness and presence to your inner world. You know the answer. You always know everything you need in order to lead the best life. If you don't yet know the answer, it's probably because You need to heal and integrate whatever is standing in the way of finding that answer.
That's where people like me come in to help and guide you. It's easier to find yourself when someone is not letting you get lost again in the midst of what you identify with and is not actually truly you.
However, there is always something you can do. You can always decide and choose to be `found`. This possibility shows itself when you decide that enough is enough and fumbling around in this `lostness` is not something you're content with any longer.
You don't have to stay lost. This isn't who you are. You are everything that's on the other side of being lost.
