Negosentro | How to Reconnect to Your Inner Self | As a child, you will have more than likely acted on your instincts, rather than applying logic and rationality to each action, and although this may have caused more than a few aches, pains, and falls, there’s certainly something to be said to listening to your gut.
So, with this in mind, here’s how to reconnect with your inner self.
Engage in More Creative Pursuits
First and foremost, if you’re someone who leads a hectic life, jam-packed full of personal obligations and professional responsibilities, unless you’re fortunate enough to work in a creative field, the chances are your imagination has been somewhat stifled in recent years.
Therefore, this is one of the best ways to reconnect to your inner self is to branch out and start a new hobby or pastime which will engage the creative side of your brain. You could either look into joining an evening or weekend art class, a local book group, or maybe teach yourself how to sew; just make sure that the hobby you pick is an entirely creative one.
Experiment with Reflexology
Reflexology is perhaps one of the most misunderstood holistic practices of them all, mainly because it can not only make a hugely positive impact on your physical health but can also dramatically boost your emotional well-being too.
Look online to find the best online reflexology course and learn practical and highly effective ways to:
- Induce a higher level of relaxation
- Recover quicker after surgery
- Help to prevent migraines and severe headaches
- Improve the symptoms of urinary tract infections
- Boost blood circulation around the body
Actively Practice Gratitude
Gratitude can be most clearly defined as leading yourself into a position of joy and appreciation, not only for the people around you but for your own current situation.
Actively choosing to practice gratitude will promote a more positive perspective on your life and your own state of mind and automatically start to change your thoughts into a more optimistic mindset. You could even choose to keep a journal of everything you’ve enjoyed or felt was a positive influence on your day, which will be wonderful to read back on in the future, time and time again.
Work on Your Body Image
Finally, unless you’re one of the fortunate few who genuinely love and fully appreciate the body they’ve been given and see all the scars and bumps as a proud reminder of everything they’ve been through, it’s also time to work on your body image.
The problem with having a negative attitude toward your own body and general physical appearance is that an attitude that your body is less than perfect will simultaneously start to impact how you see yourself in a more spiritual way.
A huge contributing factor to a poor body image is the use of social media, with everyone naturally comparing themselves to air-brushed and fake photographs of their friends, so it may well help you a great deal by taking a break from all your social media channels.
