The Ultimate Revival: Spring Clean Your Soul

Soul.

We’ve all got one and sometimes, a little sweeping up is necessary. Life’s been tough, busy or tragic, and we’ve lost the way that we used to be, maybe even as far back as in childhood: light-hearted, curious, empathic and enthusiastic. It’s okay to be tired, or to have come out of the other side of adversity feeling like you’ve lost something – we all do at some point.

But if you recognize that you’re missing your former spark, the essence of you that made you so very unique from the moment of your first breath, it might be time to do a little soul scrubbing. Why not use this time, with spring coming and home organization on the brain, to make some changes and rebirth your spirit?

Question yourself

Are you happy? Why not? Having a job and a family and a roof over your head aren’t the automatic requirements for happiness, as almost anyone can tell you. Consider whether your career is going in the direction you want it to, if you’re happy with how your family runs and treats each other and if you’re not living the life that you want to be.

Ponder deeply what your ideal looks like - your home, work, and time with family and friends. What steps could be taken, so that you get closer to ideal, to blissful?

Look around you

We’ve all had at least one friend or loved ones that sapped us, whether it was emotionally, financially or of time. For your soul’s sake, you need to decide if this relationship has a place in your life, continuing as it is, if it can be mended, or if you should end it.

We’ve also usually had occasion to be the person who took more than they gave. Realize this. If you care about this person, you’ll find a way to reduce your use of them, while increasing your giving toward them.
