How to Regain Your Sense of Direction?
2 Answers
Observe more landmarks around you, familiarize yourself with the surrounding scenery first, and practice judging your current position. Once you've mastered this, you can move on to other methods. Below are specific methods to regain your sense of direction: Familiarize yourself with the geographical environment of the city you're in. You can use satellite maps and panoramic maps to improve your sense of direction. Use a compass. A compass can quickly tell you the direction, but you must simultaneously correct any psychological misconceptions about direction. Judge by objects: You can determine direction based on sunlight. Sunlight follows certain patterns. In China, located in the Northern Hemisphere, the sun appears in the east-southeast-south-southwest-west sequence. You can use sunlight to determine direction at different times.
When I first started driving, I often got lost and felt like I had a poor sense of direction. Later, I realized the key was to rely less on GPS. Here's how I adjusted: Every time I hit the road, I only chose familiar places, like driving to the supermarket, intentionally turning off the navigation, and focusing on road signs and buildings. After sticking with it for a few weeks, I began to remember the layout of street corners and traffic lights, and could even judge direction by the position of the sun. This trick worked well—now I drive more confidently and with fewer distractions. I suggest starting with short trips for practice, not being afraid of making mistakes, and just observing the surroundings more. Over time, your sense of direction will naturally improve.
