Many of us spend significant portions of our life holding our breath, which consistently disconnects us from ourselves and our feelings, bringing less oxygen into our body and brains, needed for healthy functioning and concentration. This learned behavior easily can be changed. Simply, note your breathing, especially when you feel stressed, and breathe in and out deeply and consistently. Photo: Getty Images
Having too strong an attachment to things, events and people can be unhealthy. Therefore, we will want to allow ourselves to detach somewhat from the things/people outside of ourselves and begin to acquire our grounding and connection to ourselves. Thus, when you feel that strong attachment to things/people outside of yourself, instead focus inward and connect to yourself. Photo: Getty Images
When we live in our heads and in our thoughts, we actually are disconnecting from our selves. As children, we may develop a separate world within our minds to disconnect from difficult situations. As an adult, you will want to interrupt this propensity to live in your mind, and instead gently guide yourself south, to you…which is where you belong. Photo: Getty Images
Far too often, we move through life disconnected from ourselves and our feelings. Wonderfully, the more that you connect with yourself, the more you feel self-love, self-nurturing, patience with yourself, and confidence. These feelings contribute to feeling hope, peace, and joy and moving forward towards your goals and dreams. Connect with yourself consistently. Photo: Getty Images
It is important to develop a clear idea of who you are deep inside, and of who you have become. Are these people consistent? If not, it is a blessing to realize this and to begin to connect more deeply with yourself and to take steps towards becoming the best version of yourself. Photo: Getty Images
To continue connecting with and becoming who you are authentically, start to feel what will bring you peace and joy in your life. Let the images and feelings surface, helping you clarify that which you may already know, but which you have not necessarily allowed yourself to grasp. Take your time, and feel your feelings.

Commonly, negative, fear-based thoughts and emotions arise when you consider taking forward steps and getting unstuck in your life. So, simply be aware of them when they pop up, and do not allow them to take you down. Pull away from them, connect with yourself, breathe deeply, and focus clearly on who you are authentically and the life you desire. Photo: Getty Images
Consider initial steps to move towards one goal. As you take each step, breathe into and enjoy the experience, and give yourself credit for doing it. Then, take another step and then another. Forward movement is not about leaping from one mountain top to another, but about taking one grounded step, then a next step, and then another one. Photo: Getty Images
