Introduction to reconnecting with oneself

Self-centering or reconnection to oneself is also called “ inner balance ”. It is part of the Slow Life .

Sometimes confused with selfishness, refocusing on oneself is quite the opposite. Reconnecting with oneself is based on knowing oneself and our real desires , our true values.

Focusing on yourself is something we often tend to forget. However, it is essential to flourish and be happy with yourself.

At first glance, it seems easy and natural, but with our busy daily lives we rarely take the time to listen to ourselves and clear our minds. Take this time for yourself, take the time to breathe and clear your mind. Take the time to listen to yourself, to know yourself.

Self-knowledge has many benefits and brings great changes in our lives; it allows us to open up to others, to new opportunities, to a more serene daily life. In fact, it has a great influence on our well-being, our inner peace and boosts our self-confidence.

This allows you to take stock and regain your serenity, an essential step in calming your mind and moving forward in your life with complete peace of mind.

To summarize, refocusing on yourself is:

• Listen to yourself
• To rest
• Focus on your needs and desires
• Know yourself
