Starve the ego, feed the soul

Feeding your soul to me is what what it means to feel complete bliss. 

I feel complete bliss when I’m truly taking in my surroundings. It could be anything from hearing my children laugh, to being out in the wild, to baking in the kitchen, or listening to music.

I found that when you are disconnected from superficial things, such as social media, trying to maintain soul-sucking relationships… That is when you are able to truly feed your soul. What matters the most is who you are surrounded by everyday. 

I have learned that living life as stress free as I can also helps with positive lifestyles. By doing the things that feed my soul, I feel re-centered and ready to take on life’s challenges even harder and rejuvenated than before. 

What works for me is yoga, meditation, and being outdoors as much as possible. Being a mom and wife you can easily lose who you are. Don’t misunderstand the fact that I love my family unconditionally. However, by taking the steps each day to take even 15 minutes for myself has done so much for my mental health. We as individuals deserve that much in a world that never sops.

My kids and husband have noticed it as well. They want to be around me more. They want to show me more affection. And honestly, they want to get involved in the things that I am doing as well. It was such an eye opener for me to realize how mundane their lives were for them because all I had ever done was live for them.  It has grown our family bond in ways that I cannot even begin to describe.

So today I challenge you all to take 15 minutes out of your day to do whatever feeds your souls. I promise you won’t regret it. 

Much love. Until next time my friends! Stay strong like the wildflowers you are in this stormy weather.
