Mind, Body and Soul part 2: Nourishing Your Spirit

Today's podcast is the third part of the Mind Body and Soul series: nourishing your spirit.

Discovering true balance includes creating time to feed your spirit, nurturing yourself spiritually allows you to ground yourself in your body keeping you anchored, healthy and alive. Caring for the soul includes eliminating the weeds that show up  and choke out your natural soulful beauty.

 

Here are a few ideas on nourishing your soul:

Banish interruptions and make time to be still. Get in touch with your spirituality through peaceful time in  prayer or meditation.

Create a time for your creative pursuits: whether that  be photography, journalling, art projects, mind mapping, or music, whatever fills your sails.

Get  unplugged. Turn off the television, the computer, pager, and any other  electronic device around you. Getting unplugged is a great way to nourish your soul.

Focus on your breath. Take deep cleansing breaths in through your nose, filling your lungs to capacity and then let it all go with a giant exhalation.

Share  your time with people who make you smile.

Get out of the house and in to nature. The miracle of water, woods and wildlife will rejuvenate your spirit. You deserve real moments of solitude, self-refection, play and relaxation to help you balance out how much of yourself you give away.
