What I Do When I'm Feeling Disconnected
and why writing connects me back to me - and how you can do it too <3
There’s a feeling I get when I’ve been disconnected from myself for too long. It feels like aimless, wandering, searching.
It feels like going on Instagram to look up something specific, totally forgetting once I’m on the app and then feeling kind of lost like, wait what was I going to do here?
It feels like looking for answers when I’m not really sure even what the questions are.
It feels like tabs open, clicking between my text messages, a thread with chat gpt on what recipe I’m going to make later, and tapping through endless stories of people living their best lives.
When I’m caught in these loops, I take a breath and come back into myself. Oh, there she is. Once I land, here, I reach for either my journal - the one with the stars on the front, or my laptop and open my notes app and I write.
I write without thinking, without editing, without judging. I just write and let all the thoughts flurry out onto the page out of me. I write about what I know and what I don’t know.
Writing is the practice that connects me to me. That clarifies the questions I’m seeking and allows the answers to arise, in their own timing.
If you’ve been feeling lost, searching, disconnected, too attached to the screens, come back to the simple practice of writing.
If you’re not sure where or HOW to start, I’d like to offer you The Creative Soul Practice.
It’s a 7 day guided writing meditation series. Every day, you’ll receive a 15 minute audio with a short meditation and guided writing prompts so you can start writing, without the pressure of feeling like you have to be “good”.
You just have to start and see what comes through.
This is perfect for you if you’ve been longing to return, but haven’t found the time, if it’s been too long since you picked up your journal or did your morning pages.
It gets to be easy. It gets to be simple.
You’ll feel calmer, more grounded, refreshed, connected, alive.
