Step-by-Step Guide to Finding Your Center

In this episode of FLOW with Yami, I answer a thoughtful question from a former student: "How do you find your center?" Given the rise in anxiety, especially among young people post-COVID, I share my personal journey and practical steps to regain balance and clarity.

1. Pause & Breathe – Use intentional breathing to calm your mind and body.
2. Check In with Yourself – Recognize your emotions without judgment.
3. Ground Yourself – Feel connected to the earth, whether by standing firmly, holding a rock to ground you, or focusing on an inspiring image.
4. Quiet the Noise – Take a break from distractions and create a clear space.
5. Engage in Focused Activities – Writing, praying, meditating, walking, or drawing can help recenter you.
6. Let Go of Perfection – Embrace mistakes as opportunities for growth.
7. Return to the Present – Stay mindful of the now, using tools like a sand clock if needed.
8. Set an Intention – Write a daily affirmation like “I am alive and joyful” to keep yourself centered.

Finding your center fosters self-reflection and transformation, impacting all areas of life—home, career, and finances. Stay refreshed, balanced, and in flow!
