Cultivating Inner Feng Shui: Feed Your Soul

I am an emotionally-based being and as such can have large swings between my ups and downs. I’ve learned to do many things to reduce the delta between the two and quite frankly I must stay focused on that all the time. Yes, it can create pressure and sometimes I just don’t have it in me.  However, my ups are much more frequent and long lasting when I cultivate behaviors that feed my soul on a regular basis.  Here are some things that feed my soul (when I’m doing them!!)

• Working.  I feel so fulfilled and alive while I’m working and my clients are the best!
• Meditating & giving thanks.  This is my version of going to church.
• Getting plenty of sleep.  I’ve found there’s no way around this.
• Eating healthy. I’ve found there’s no way around this either.
• Smiling.  I instantly feel different when I smile.
• Laughing. There’s nothing like laughing to cleanse the soul!
• Exercise regularly. If I don’t, I feel like crap and it shows to those around me.
• Twitter & Facebook.  I love the social interaction & connection with people I care about. It’s very meaningful to me and the first thing I do everyday while drinking my tea.
• Creative projects.  Every now and then, it’s great to pull out the paints & pencils and do a whimsical project.
• Connecting with friends and family, especially my sisters.
• Exploring new things.  Variety is my mantra.
