Reconnecting with yourself in a hyperconnected world requires
intentionality. Taking regular breaks to reflect on what makes you happy helps
redefine your priorities. Dedicate time to activities that connect you with
your values, such as art, reading, or contact with nature. These digital pauses
will allow you to regain your sense of purpose and reduce the anxiety that
often comes with the constant need to be online.
If this disconnection feels overwhelming or you feel you cannot find a
purpose beyond the digital, seek help. An existential crisis is an opportunity
for growth and is a sign of underlying anxiety or depression that needs
attention.
Reconnection Exercise Through Writing
·
Take a
notebook and write the following question: "Who am I when I am not
connected?"
·
Spend at least
10 minutes reflecting and writing without censoring yourself. Include your
interests, values, dreams, and what matters to you outside the digital realm.
·
Read what you
wrote and underline the words or phrases that seem most valuable to you. These
are clues about your authentic identity.
·
As a final
step, choose an activity that aligns with those keywords and dedicate time to
it in your week. It can be something as simple as walking outdoors, painting,
or reading a book.
If you are facing an existential crisis or need guidance to find balance
in the digital age, we can help you.
