Top 10 Ways to Honor Your Soul

Click here to listen to this post.

Have you ever heard the saying, “If Mama ain’t happy, ain’t nobody happy!”

It means that if the main person in the household isn’t happy, they will make life miserable for themselves and everyone around them.

When it comes to you as an individual, your Soul is Mama.

If your soul is unhappy, you will not be happy. Nothing in your life will happen easily or effortlessly.

So if you make it a priority to make your soul happy by honoring it, everything in your life will start to unfold with ease and grace, because a happy soul is a soul open to receive the Abundance you’ve been praying for.

What does it mean to honor your soul?

It means something different to everyone, so it’s really something you can only decide and know for yourself.

Since I’ve made honoring my soul a priority while living as a human on planet Earth, I asked my soul for some practical ways to honor It in my day-to-day life, just to get into the habit.

This is what my soul revealed to me – Its top 10 ways to honor this soul. I share them with you in the heartfelt hope that you will find them as revealing and useful as I have.

Top 10 Ways to Honor Your Soul

10. Honor your Body. Your body serves as the home of your soul, for now. Feed, rest, or water your body as needed. Move your body around so your soul can feel your body’s aliveness. That’s why your soul entered a body, to begin with – to enjoy a richly varied life on Planet Earth, full of color and music, taste and touch.

9. Honor your Mind. Your mind hungers for inspiration from which to create your life. Feed it with fun or useful information, loving thoughts and empowering beliefs based on an understanding that the mind you use is the Mind of God. Think bigger, kinder thoughts … and your soul will thank you.

8. Honor your Heart. Your feelings matter. They serve as smoke signals from your soul: “This person makes me feel happy” “This situation makes me feel sad” “This prayer makes me feel loved.” Give yourself permission to do more of what makes you feel happy, and your soul will rejoice.

7. Be Honest with Yourself and Others. Keep your word if at all possible – and if it’s not, let the other person know and make a new agreement with him or her. Let go of pretending something is okay when it isn’t: you and your soul will feel liberated when you tell the truth; so will any others concerned. Truth really does set you free.

6. Sidestep Avoidable Problems. How can your soul evolve if you keep struggling with one difficulty after another? Life brings enough challenges without creating more of them. Your soul would much rather rejoice in the beauties of Nature than, say, stress out about the rent money you spent on new shoes. Many problems are more avoidable than you think. Try it out for yourself and see what happens.

5. Give your Soul the Freedom It Needs to Thrive. If you’re hooked on anything or anyone, you don’t have an addiction – rather, the addiction has you. Whether it’s booze or pills, sex or shopping, or a person you think you can’t live without – reach out for help. It takes strength to ask for support, yet it’s worth it. Your soul was born free and wants to stay that way.

4. Recognize Your True Value. Stop hurting your soul by imagining yourself to be unworthy, undeserving, or damaged.  You are a sacred child of Infinite Love. Love is the only thing that’s real. Everything else is decoration, delusion, or distortion. Open to receive all the Good this loving Universe wants you to have, and watch the Abundance flow in!

3. Give Yourself Permission to Follow Your Calling. If you feel called to do something, it’s because someone or something is calling to you. Refusing that invitation causes the soul unbearable pain. Whether you follow your calling as a profession or a hobby is up to you. There’s no wrong way to do it. Just do it.

2. Live in Integrity. Make it a daily practice to conduct yourself with honesty, good humor, fidelity, courage, compassion, respect for self and others … and 90% of your current problems will start melting away. Live in integrity with yourself and your soul by recognizing your needs are as important as anyone else’s.

And, #1 with a bullet:

1. Cultivate True Ambition. True ambition is the heartfelt desire to live usefully and walk joyfully in the grace of God. This gives your life meaning, purpose and value … which fulfills your soul’s mission on earth.

If that’s not honoring your soul – what is?
