-

By Obi Peter.



Feeling lost is a common experience we occasionally have as humans as we navigate through life. Worthy to note is the fact that there are several things one can do to scale through this experience. Here are some suggestions to help you when you're feeling lost.

Reflect on your feelings: Take some time to explore and understand the root cause of your feelings. Ask yourself why you feel lost and what specific aspects of your life or goals are causing this confusion.

Accept your emotions: It's okay to feel lost sometimes. Acknowledge and accept your emotions without judgment. Allow yourself to experience the full range of your feelings, as it is a natural part of the human experience.

Seek support: Reach out to friends, family, or a trusted mentor who can provide guidance and support. Share your feelings and concerns with them, as they may offer different perspectives and insights that could help you find direction.

Engage in self-reflection: Engage in activities that encourage self-reflection, such as journaling, meditation, or mindfulness practices. These practices can help you gain clarity, explore your values and desires, and identify what truly matters to you.

Set small goals: Break down your larger goals into smaller, achievable tasks. By focusing on smaller steps, you can regain a sense of progress and purpose. Celebrate your accomplishments along the way, as it will help motivate you to continue moving forward.

Explore new interests: Sometimes feeling lost stems from a lack of fulfillment or a need for change. Engage in activities or hobbies that pique your interest, as they can open new avenues for personal growth and self-discovery. This exploration may help you find new passions or interests that can lead you in a more fulfilling direction.

Learn from the experience: Consider your feelings of being lost as an opportunity for growth and self-exploration. Embrace the uncertainty as a chance to learn more about yourself, your values, and your aspirations. Sometimes, feeling lost can ultimately lead to a better understanding of who you are and what you want from life.

Seek professional help if needed: If your feelings of being lost persist and significantly affect your well-being, it may be beneficial to seek guidance from a therapist or counselor. They can provide objective support, help you gain clarity, and develop strategies to overcome your challenges.

In conclusion, always remember, feeling lost is a temporary state, and it's important to be patient and kind to yourself during this period of self-discovery.

In actuality, there are a few issues that constitute a threat to higher education and student affairs administration, as any one familiar with the operations of the majority of Nigeria's higher education institutions would undoubtedly agree.
