When We Need to Find Ourself (Meditation Journey)

As human in this kind of era, feeling left alone is a normal cycle as a runner would catch a breath from their marathon. When your daily schedules is finished and there is this tiny empty spot between your scratch and marked date, you don’t know what you have to do to fill it, you keep your stand in Transjakarta (or any public transportation, because I am sure a lot of people did daydreaming when put in this moment) and thinking what possibly you can do with it.

Maybe I can do some hobby? But what was hobby that I liked? Did I ever have hobby? What did the past me will do when this happen?

Then you start to lose in thought, you feel empty, realizing you’re not living enough.

But dear, life is long, and every soul know where’s their truly home. So chill and take a moment in your life. Let’s start a journey to find our self.

There’s a lot of way to save your beautiful spirit and be a hero for your own. Did you remember the old, innocent you who wish for a beautiful life in the future?. If you don’t, then this will be your first step.

Remember them. Remember how to feel excited about anything that life can offer. Even from the insignificant sound of popping popcorn that makes you giggle, the tree pattern dress that you used to love until it’s worn and thrown out, or your very first spicy food which you hate so much but inspired you to be a cook. Bring the little you that hiding inside to come out, talk to yourself, what I used to like and what I want to be?

If you know what you want to be, then you know where you should be going. This will be like planning a trip. The First step for you is to list all the stuff you need, the next step is to eventually go in the cruise.

Yep, if you know what kind of life you want to be, then go for it!

Of course it is not that easy, but it isn’t that hard either. Step by step, you'll be there. 

While we keep track of our change to pursue The better-me, a regular traveling could help freshen our mind and widen our insight. Variety in life is always helpful, I could say that this world was created to get known deeply and largely. Why would you keep yourself in your tiny room when there is a world out there you can attain? Eventually you will find a perfect place for you to live and a perfect person as your soulmate for the rest of your life.

Do not forget the one way that simplify your lost state, get help from others.

Asking for help sometimes is needed. We are not alone in this planet. We can use one or two warm hugs to make things easier. It start with simply ask “can you help me?” at a right person. A professional could help, or with your best friends that know what you have been through.

Our wish for each person in this earth is they could get a grip and holding on at the most important matter in life, our self well being. It is a reminder, and I hope for whoever you are, you can find your own self too. Maybe they just hiding, and need to be found :)
