Within each person, there is a "center" where "you", the essence of who you are and consider yourself to be, is located. It is not a physical place, rather it is where the certainty of your confidence is. When you are distressed, it is good to contemplate this "essence place" in order to reconnect with the calm certainty that is your self.

So "finding your center" means to understand within yourself that the distressing circumstance will pass, you will learn from it, and you will remain yourself. This is important when events make you crazy. When your world falls apart, the "center" of you reassures you that the event will pass, but you are still the same person you have always been.

In religion, this "center" is where you and your God connect. In some religions, this center can be called the soul..it is the "connecting place" between this physical plane and the Eternal. It is a place of calm, a place within you that can give great strength and resolve when you take the time to "return to your roots." It is the place of refreshing and renewal.

So if you are in emotional distress, "find your center" reminds you that you are stronger than you realize and that you need to reconnect with your God and your essential being.
