25 Ways To Feed Your Soul and Why You Should

Are you feeding your soul?  Our soul is the essence of who we are.  Feeding the soul is different from feeding the body. We feed our body to live, we feed our soul to connect with who we are and to make us whole.     

Feeding our soul awakes our passions. It releases stress, helps us find peace, and enjoy our life. It requires us to connect on a deeper level and it's as individual as you. What works for one may not work for another, so it requires you to connect with you. It requires you to find inner peace and to get in touch with who you really are and what you love.   

For me, I find peace and connect with nature. Its beauty touches my soul. I could literally spend hours enjoying all of its glory. In the spring the grass turns green and flowers come to life. It motivates me to become one with nature and it awakens one of my passions, gardening. In the summer I enjoy the sound of the ocean and fall the beautiful colors. Sipping a hot cup of coffee while inhaling the crisp air on a fall morning stirs my soul. I gather fall leaves for crafts and take nature hunts with the kids. These things illuminate who I am and brightens my spirit. Feeding my soul leads me to my voice.
