In this wild, wonderful, mysterious, and magical life, sometimes it feels like we are insignificant on this spinning rock floating in the sky. A user on an internet thread asks, “Women who feel like they want to be part of something bigger in life, like something is missing, how do you deal with that?” Here are the top answers.
1. Make Your Work Count
A great way to feel like you’re contributing to the world is by devoting your life to work that you believe matters. The woman who posts this tactic admits she is a cancer researcher and feels her work saves and educates the public about the distressing disease.
2. Connect to Your Community
Don’t be afraid to get involved in the community you live in. Take time out of your busy schedule to give back to the neighborhood you were raised in, learn more about your neighbors, help take care of the local kids, or invent a project to aid the prosperity of the area that made you who you are.
3. This is Your Only Life
“Recognize this is it. You are it. This is all life will be, so don’t get sucked into Hollywood fantasy (sadly, no, I will not be James Bond — R.I.P. that dream), and remind yourself to be present and purposeful where you are. Connect now. Adventure now. Fill your weeks with things that make past you, present you, and future you proud & happy,” an insightful individual advises.
4. Explore the Outdoors
There’s a reason people toss their phones in a bin and retreat into the woods for weekends. Disconnecting from the internet and the highlight reel of social media boosts endorphins and allows you to reconnect with nature. Get outside, breathe in the crisp air, and see what Mother Nature offers.
5. Challenge Yourself
“We are made to be pushed. A bit of pressure, a new challenge, and a big win is fantastic. Whatever it be! Writing a book, running a race, getting a new degree or certificate, hiking that hill, reading more, meditation. Build a win into your habits. Honor your commitment to your goals,” one user writes.
7. Dig Into Your Artistic Endeavors
Whether writing, photography, fashion, or painting alleviates your pain and sadness, nurture your craft. Many artists long to create projects that live beyond their lifetimes. While that may be a morbid thought, the idea that your artistic ventures span beyond your years is also comforting.
8. Meditate
If the world feels like it’s moving too fast and you can’t catch up, take a few moments to recenter your body and meditate. Bringing your awareness to the present moment helps curb anxiety and soothe nerves while cementing your focus on your body and your gifts to the world.
9. Cry
Everyone needs a good cry. Turn on a sad movie or your favorite heartwarming video (for me, it’s Grace Vanderwaal’s golden buzzer audition on America’s Got Talent) and sob. Crying elevates your mood, clears your head, and gives you a fresh start.
10. Think
Use that brain! “Think the big thoughts! Read, listen, watch, and interact with content that compels you and gives you different perspectives. Listen to people unlike yourself. Learn about other people, places, things, and times,” a forum member beams.
