10. Soul Food<\/strong><\/span>
\nHow do you nourish your soul? What activities are essential nutrients for your soul\u2019s well-being?<\/span><\/p>\n

My soul feeds on inspiration. What am I talking about, she positively gobbles up the stuff, LOL. I find the written word to be the most satisfying and the longest-lasting in my system. It’s incredibly filling to read the words of thinkers and motivators, people whose auras pump out light and inspiration.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are two such women I absolutely love because of their outlooks on life and their way with words:<\/span> Danielle LaPorte<\/a> and<\/span> Premakarini<\/a>. I don’t know what miracles of fate made me stumble on their blogs a couple months ago, but I’m so glad and grateful to have them as online resources. Look through some of their latest posts and you’ll see what I mean.<\/span><\/p>\n

I also find nourishment in expressing myself and going back to those words at a later date. There are times when we don’t realise the impact of what we jot down, when we don’t appreciate the flow of words simply because they come from within and we feel it’s not up to par or worth much anyway. It’s important to go back over your written thoughts because they often have hidden gems to make your existence richer and more fulfilling. Hands in the air if you’ve thought “Wow, I<\/em> wrote that?” as you read over your stuff.<\/span><\/p>\n

Interpersonal interaction, listening to music, and writing are my essential nutrients. I believe it’s important to stay connected to your friends and close to your family. I think we should all have days to just hang out and bond because it’s so easy to get caught up in life’s frantic pace and forget to do the simple things that bring us joy.<\/span><\/p>\n

Put away your smartphone and go share a pizza with a friend. Get off the internet and go hang out in the real world. Write cards and letters. Call. Go dancing. Go skiing. Go bungee-jumping? \ud83d\ude00 LOL, maybe not. Whatever you do, though, remember to keep your soul well fed. It helps. \ud83d\ude42<\/span><\/p>\n
