recentered
Returned to center
Recentered describes something that has been brought back to center or refocused after drifting.
A wheel can be recentered on its axle.
More often the word is figurative: a person who feels recentered has regained emotional balance or clarity of purpose after distraction or stress.
After a week at the cabin, I felt recentered.
In cultural discourse, to say a perspective has been recentered means it now occupies a more prominent position: The exhibit recentered Indigenous voices in the narrative.
