As the title suggests, Why should you feed your soul and how is this done?
Well, I have learnt that there are many reasons why you should, and likewise, many ways you can "feed your soul".
The other day I found myself feeling very low for some reason - this can be considered very normal, but deep down I knew there was something off and I shouldn't be feeling this way - DIET could possibly come into it; I am aware of the notion that 'you are what you eat' and if you consume rubbish then you will feel rubbish at the end of the day. But my spirit was telling me that that was NOT the only reason...
Very recently I've noticed I've been holding back on doing a lot of things that my heart wants me to do... Have you ever watched the short animated movie from 'Moana', called 'Inner Workings'? In the movie there is this guy and you are introduced to his morning rituals before he gets to work, and you see that his brain tells him what to do a lot of the time, while his heart is contradicting his brain and wanting him to do other things. Gradually, throughout the day, the more his brain rejects the things that his heart desperately wants, he starts to feel more depressed... until he is unable to even do his work. I relate to this character a lot. In fact, I would say it is the story of my life. When your brain tells you to stop following your heart, it does something to your morale whether you want to notice it or not. And the other day I was feeling it. BIG TIME.
So this is WHY you should feed your soul every day. You only need to treat yourself to one thing your heart wants - whether it's a chocolate muffin you have been craving, or those new headphones you've been needing for ages to listen to your favourite music on your iPod - and do this daily. I don't care how much you've got left in your bank, and it doesn't have to be costly... you could treat yourself in the sense of watching a pure disney movie you already have on dvd. You see what I'm saying? Instead of buying the cheap and unsatisfying, buy yourself what your soul needs to feel like this life is worth living! You might as well invest in yourself, invest in your happiness! No one else can tell you what you need more. If you fancy a Dominos pizza, if you fancy writing an enjoyable book just for yourself, if you want to just connect with nature or go for a trip to your favourite place in the world - go do it! Because also, chances are, it will open up doors for you in ways you never could, had you just boringly followed your head instead of your heart.
This is my challenge for you:
Starting today (the day you read this blog post), for a whole week (7 days), do one positive thing that feeds your soul and makes you feel like you are living for yourself rather than for others. Tell me in the comments below what you have done and how it made you feel afterwards. Complete this challenge and I wonder how many of you come out of this feeling like the world is a brighter place! 😄🌈🌅
I assure you you will want to do this again and again and you won't want to stop FEEDING YOUR SOUL.
