Windows of the Soul
There comes a time in our lives that we feel there is something missing . We go about our everyday lives but at the end of the day , we are still looking for something . What it is we remain clueless .
To find this something , I gave up my regular permanent job and find other activities to do .
There is timelessness and serenity to my unhurried mornings nowadays as I take my cup of coffee , ideas comes into my mind . .. finally finishing my book to share my healing journey , to continue doing training on personal development , among others .
When I do training , I feel so alive and connected to my participants . Knowing who they are , sharing life experiences .
In our hurried life , doing our everyday life - beating work deadlines , taking the kids to school , grocery shopping , paying the bills - occupies all our time . Keeping us so busy and forgetting to nourish our soul . What sort of life experiences does nourish our soul ?
We can not particularly specify what life experiences nourish our soul . It depends on a lot of things - our personality , lifestyle and values . There is no right or wrong answer to the questions . It maybe being in nature , to some music , others family camping . It varies as our personalities differ as well as what we value .
Some of us get wake up calls through illness or accidents before we make a move towards nourishing our soul. But we don't have to wait for traumatic events to happen . Let us take an inventory of where we focus our energies .
With our busy schedules , we lost our soul in the process . This lost creates that emptiness in our lives. So how do we recover and nourish our soul ?
You can go back to your childhood interests , this may lead you to your soul interests as when life was still quiet peaceful and spontaneous . We may go back to painting , volunteer works , writing or drawing , where our creative life was joyful . This may open our soul nourishment . As I said earlier , it really varies and depends on our personal interests .
When you find what gives joy to your soul , find time to make room for these activities in your life ,
When we attend only to work and neglect our soul , we feel joyless .
When we have soul satisfying experiences , we are open to what is beautiful around us and appreciate God's creation and many blessings . We are happy and alive in our daily life . It is not the material things around us that matters but the joy in our hearts .
