Daily Soul Practice Honour your self

Honouring Our Self Through Daily Soul Practice

by Kim Bleeze

There is something deeply sacred about committing time and space each day to nourish ourselves, and to take the time out to give back to our body, our mind and our soul.

This deep honouring is a soul practice and can be crucial in keeping our emotional, mental, physical and spiritual cups full. Life can be depleting, so in order to retain healthy balance, we need to nurture and give ourselves the time we deserve as an act of self-love. Then, of course, there are other benefits to keeping a daily soul practice such as enhancing our intuition and trust with our self and the universe. The more we do all of that, the closer we step towards personal authenticity and showing up for ourselves in a way that we deserve.

When we are disallowing the opportunity for that to happen, we are in fact not allowing room for our soul to integrate more into our physical life. So instead of immersing ourselves more into the power of our greater and higher-self and soul, we keep ourselves almost separate instead. This shows up in our life without our even realizing it. Often it manifests as a lack of flow in your life.

To name just a few, you’ll recognise it as feelings of being unhappy, in a state of lack or a general negative mindset. Essentially all of those times when you feel life isn’t working out for you, which I’m sure most of us have experienced in our life in shape or form. Well, if you are experiencing any of the above or similar, it may mean that you out of sync with the natural flow of life. And keeping a daily soul practice is a great way to reinstate it, as well as to help release any stagnate energy and/or emotions you’ve been holding onto.

Life is so crazy at times, right? We can often have the potential to experience feelings of being overwhelmed, with fear, anxiety and a tonne of other lower vibrational emotions and states. That can have a crippling effect on our mindset. A daily soul practice is the perfect way to balance ourselves.

So knowing this, it is our individual responsibility to counteract the crap life throws at us by retaining a strong sense of self-awareness and grounded connection to ourselves, as well as a deeper connection to our soul.

Discovering your best practices

There are so many things you could probably choose to incorporate into your soul practice. Meditation, yoga, walking, reading, dancing, singing, drumming… the list could be endless. Choose activities that really make your heart feel good and your energy light up.

THAT is the key to nurturing yourself through soul practice. Just do things you love and that make you feel good for at least 30 minutes a day. Simple right?

And it doesn’t have to be the same soul practice every day. Often what we need to feel nourished can change as much as our moods do. So be flexible and check in with yourself daily to see how you can best give to yourself. Because it is about choosing something that is in alignment with your energy each and every day by asking yourself the following questions:

“How do I feel?” “What do I need?” “What will nourish me and my soul today?” “What do I need to feel fulfilled?”

This can get you started

1Make a list! Get creative and write a list all the things you like and love to do, that make you feel amazing and emotionally full. This will be your go-to list! 2 Make the time! Create space in your calendar for your daily soul practice. I would suggest a minimum of 30 minutes a day, and it is okay to be flexible. 3 Make it work! What needs to happen in order to keep on track with your daily soul practice? Do some things in your life need to change to free up time?

4Make a start! Your soul practice doesn’t have to look perfect, so stop waiting for it to be. The best practice for any routine you are trying to establish… is to JUST DO IT.
