3 Top Tips to better listen to your soul
Isn't it just the quirkiest thing that we get all jittery and breathless when we're supposed to be chilling, but those feelings magically disappear when we're knee-deep in work? Or sometimes, it's the complete opposite: we finish a huge task, and even though we should be on cloud nine, there's still a nagging feeling of "Is that it?" We might even regress back to our teenage selves and want to shout from the rooftops, "Bored outta my mind!"
Well, here's the scoop: your Soul's voice is like a master of subtlety. It whispers to you, it nourishes you with breathtaking sunsets and the crashing waves on the beach. It talks to you through gentle breezes, the mesmerizing flutter of butterflies, and the antics of the furry creatures around you. But hey, it's pretty tough to catch these subtle messages when you're stuck in "human doing machine" mode. Let's face it, most of us have been trained to be exactly that—a productivity machine—so when we don't have a mile-long to-do list every second of the day, we start feeling worthless, unaccomplished, or worse. And who's the culprit behind all these toxic thoughts about your worthiness? Yep, you guessed it, the ego. Ouch.
When we don't take a moment to pause and tune in to our souls, it's like we're running on empty. We feel trapped, suffocated by the system. We feel this desperate urge to conform and please everyone around us. Well, let me tell you, when I'm in that headspace, I'm one cranky mama.
So, my friend, let's remember to take a breather from time to time, and listen to that subtle voice inside. It's the key to feeling fulfilled and connected. Screw the societal pressure to be a productivity machine. Embrace the whispers of your soul and let them guide you towards true happiness. Trust me, it's worth it!
Ready to dive into some soulful practices? I've got three soulful tips that will have you connecting with your inner self in no time. Let's get started, shall we?
Take a DEEP breath. And I mean really deep. None of that pretend breathing stuff! Take a moment to check if your belly feels tight or if your neck is acting up when you inhale. If you notice any tension, it's a sign that your muscles are holding stress. So, here's what you do: inhale deep into your belly, watch that tummy rise and fall, and feel your chest expanding. And hey, don't forget to let your shoulders drop from those ears of yours! Remember, it's important to exhale completely too. Sneak in at least 10 of these belly-busting breaths three times a day. Trust me, you can do it anywhere - at the computer, while driving, or even commuting on the bus. No excuses, my friend!
Notice the world around you. Give yourself a luxurious five minutes to really take in your surroundings. Have you seen how bright the sun is today? How about the feeling of that temperature on your skin? And let's not forget the symphony of sounds you're hearing. Oh, and how are you feeling, by the way? This moment of awareness helps you pick up on those subtle clues from your soul. Soak it all in and get ready to connect with your inner essence.
State one thing you're grateful for. Here's where the real magic happens, my friend! Set a timer on your electronic device - it's game time! When that chime goes off, blurt out the very first thing that pops into your head for which you feel grateful. It could be anything - like that first sip of morning coffee or that fuzzy pair of slippers waiting for you at home. Turning this into a game truly fuels your spirit with joyful and light energy. You won't believe the power of gratitude in shifting your mindset from negative to positive!
