The Connection Puzzle: Understanding Our Need for Belonging and Purpose

Multicoloured images of a female. The image is spilt horizontally in half with the left side image depicting a lady looking less troubled whereas the right sided image is the same lady but this time looking disconnected.

In the fast-paced world we live in, it's not uncommon to feel a sense of disconnect at times. The feeling of being disconnected from ourselves and our surroundings can be overwhelming, leading us to question our purpose and yearn for a sense of belonging. But what makes us feel connected in the first place, and how can we find remedies when we feel disconnected?


Human beings are wired for connection. We thrive on forming meaningful relationships, both with others and ourselves. Connection is the invisible thread that weaves through our lives, giving us a sense of purpose and belonging. When we feel connected, we feel seen, heard, and valued. It creates a sense of warmth and fulfillment that nourishes our soul.


On the flip side, feeling disconnected can leave us feeling lost and adrift. It's a state where we feel isolated, unfulfilled, and out of sync with our true selves. The modern world, with its many distractions and constant busyness, can exacerbate this sense of disconnection, leaving us craving for something deeper and more meaningful.


What are can we do when we feel disconnected? Here are some simple yet powerful remedies to help us realign with ourselves and our surroundings:


  • Mindful Practices: Engaging in mindfulness activities such as meditation, yoga, or deep breathing can help us reconnect with our inner selves and ground us in the present moment. Being good to yourself is a powerful tool that can help with grounding, especially when we feel uneasy.

  • Meaningful Connections: Cultivating and nurturing relationships with others can reignite the spark of connection. Whether it's spending quality time with loved ones or reaching out to a friend, human connection is a potent remedy for disconnection.

  • Nature Therapy: Reconnecting with nature can be incredibly healing. Spending time outdoors, taking a walk in the park, or simply basking in the beauty of the natural world can help us find solace and peace.


In the maze of life, it's easy to get lost and feel disconnected. But by understanding what makes us feel connected and exploring effective remedies for disconnection, we can navigate this journey with greater ease, grace and fulfilment. Remember, we are all in this together, seeking purpose, belonging, and the profound connections that make life truly meaningful, it really is a journey. And we believe life is a better journey when we feel connected to ourselves and with others.
