Feeling Lost.

There are moments where you feel like you’re watching your life from the outside, when the world feels muted, and you feel disconnected. Journalling can encourage that journey back to finding yourself.

Journalling as a quiet conversation with yourself, an opportunity to sit beside your thoughts rather than run from them.

Journal Prompts When You Feel Disconnected

• What does “feeling disconnected” look or feel like for me right now?
  • Describe it, honestly. The emotions, the emptiness, the noise.
• What feels heavy on my heart today?
  • Be specific. Write without censoring. It’s not about solving anything, just letting it out of your head and onto the page.
• What small things usually bring me comfort and can I allow myself one of them today?
  • This might be music, a walk, a warm bath, or a quiet moment. It’s a reminder that nurturing doesn’t have to be grand.
• What do I need to hear from myself right now?
  • Write as if you were speaking to a friend or your younger self. What reassurance or encouragement would you give them if they felt like you did?
• What’s one tiny step I can take to feel a little more here today?
  • It could be opening the curtains, breathing deeply, stepping outside, texting a friend, or simply acknowledging that you’ve made it through the day so far.

How To..

1. Set the scene:
   • Find a quiet spot, even if it’s just 5 minutes before bed or in your car before going inside. Light a candle, make a drink, something that feels calm and intentional.
2. Pick one or two prompts only:
   • You don’t need to answer all of them. Choose whichever one feels most relevant to your current state.
3. Write without judgement:
   • Let the words come out raw, messy, honest. You’re not writing for anyone else. You’re writing to understand, release, and reconnect.
4. Pause and reflect after writing:
   • When you’re done, take a breath. Notice if anything feels a little lighter or clearer. Even a small shift matters.
5. End with a grounding reminder:
   • Something simple like: “I’m allowed to take time to come back to myself.”

Journalling won’t always bring instant relief, but it creates space for you to meet yourself where you are. It allows you to address things that are deeper than your surface level thoughts. That small act of awareness can be the first step in finding your way back to being part of it again.
