A renowned PhD summed up mindfulness when he stated, “Wherever you travel, there you are.”

Soulfulness is attentiveness to the here and now and not thinking of what somebody said to you this morning, babbling on the phone while responding to an email, or fretting about the time to come.

Practice Soulfulness

One time a day from now on, I wish you to put earnest effort into being fully in the here and now. Give your exclusive attention to what you’re doing. If you’ve a luncheon date, savor being with that individual, instead of thinking of that customer meeting you had in the morning or stressing about the great deal of work sitting on your desk. Even the most workaday tasks, like fixing dinner, may come alive. Notice the aromas, flavors, textures.

A description of soulfulness:

• Being yourself.
• Not labeling yourself, over-analyzing what you’re going to talk about, or getting caught up in your ideas.
• Living with and valuing what each instant offers.
• Letting things be the way they are, without becoming caught up in prospects, hopes, wants, and experiences.
• Being patient with yourself and others. Not being impatient or uneasy about particular things, pleasant and obnoxious, to happen.
• Believing in yourself and your feelings.

What are you intrigued with? What inspires you, propels you, moves you? For instance, you might dream of having a life coach to keep you on course with your goals. If you can’t afford it, go to the bookshop. There are enough helpful books to help you evaluate where you are now, where you prefer to be, and learn from individuals who have done it.

Determine if this scenario is familiar – you would love to go for lunch but you’ve too much to do, so you snap up a sandwich to go and bring it back to your desk. Inside minutes, your sandwich is spent, you’re still hunched forward at the computer, and you are able to barely recall how it tasted.

Alternatively, begin each meal with a break – take a rich breath and give thanks for the food your about to consume. Or, say a prayer, whatever has significance for you. Purchase a beautiful plate, placemat, mug, or container to utilize.

Monthly, treat yourself to a relaxation rub down. If it’s out of your budget, think about going to a massage school student clinic in your region. Treatments by massage therapists-in-training are frequently one quarter of the regular cost.

Forgiving yourself and other people may be freeing. Many individuals carry past pains inside them and are not able to let them go. Begin by forgiving yourself – if something you state or do causes misunderstanding or might be taken as hurtful, don’t let it sit and don’t bash yourself over it.

Continue to be prompted daily to embrace and value the beauty of life as you become more and more soulful.
