Don’t rely on someone else for your happiness and self-worth. Only you can be responsible for that. If you can’t love and respect yourself – no one else will be able to make that happen. Accept who you are – completely; the good and the bad – and make changes as you see fit – not because you think someone else wants you to be different.” – Stacey Charter

I woke up at 5 am, worked out, stretched, meditated, journaled, went for a walk, swam in the sea, showered skincare, ate my baked oats all before my 9 am lecture. Come for me I dare you.”

Quotes

Some people neglect their self-care so much that they become people pleasers. These are the types of people who let others make their decisions for them. People pleasers will give up their own wellness to earn the validation of others. Keep good company, read good books, love good things, and cultivate soul and body as faithfully as you can.” – Louisa May Alcott

Soul or supreme soul makes you conscious about your subtle body. It makes you conscious of your dreams and desires. It makes you conscious of your feelings, thoughts, anger, love, lust, and everything else that you think and want to achieve. We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty.” – Maya Angelou In fact, God is a state same as a human is a state. God is hidden in your image only. God is hidden in the world or in the universe. The truth is, this universe is a God itself but appears world due to the close of the third eye. Remember, being present is a choice, and it’s your choice! You can choose whether or not you show up for a task or for your family. You can choose whether you bring your phone to the dinner table, or whether you leave it in your room on the charger when you get home from work. We spend our lives chasing happiness. However, we often end up distracted and looking for it in the wrong places. Corporations convince us to buy things that we don’t need to impress people that we don’t even like. And we work jobs we hate to make money that we think will bring us happiness. However, rather than focusing on pleasing others or collecting material goods, here I will show you how to do what makes your soul happy.

These are examples of simple beauty in nature that is easy to miss if you aren’t looking for it. Slowing down and appreciating this beauty is one way to do what makes your soul happy. #8. Take Care of Yourself

The thing that makes my soul shine is helping businesswomen like you fulfill your potential, both in business and in life. That’s what gets me out of bed in the morning. And keeps me going through the highs and lows. And it’s been the same true purpose for me for the past twenty years. When I loved myself enough, I began leaving whatever wasn’t healthy. This meant people, jobs, my own beliefs, and habits – anything that kept me small. My judgment called it disloyal. Now I see it as self-loving.” – Kim McMillen Self-care is not a luxury. Indeed not. It allows us to show up in this tumultuous world as the best versions of ourselves.” It’s not selfish to love yourself, take care of yourself, and make your happiness a priority. It’s necessary.” – Mandy Hale You get what I mean, right? So, I’m leaving this quote here for you one more time: Do What Makes Your Soul Shine.True self-care is no bath salts and chocolate cake, it’s making the choice to build a life you don’t need to escape from.” – Brianna Wiest We all want to be happy in life so we look forward for it in some years to come. But do you think our happiness is based on how old we grow? No, you have to take the time to make your soul happy. No one is going to do this for you except you yourself. Because how will that guy next to you know for sure that, what he is going to say will make you happy or unhappy? He can’t determine that simply because he doesn’t know what may be going on in your inner world. Day in and day out we all fall into the trap of this, we say something to others we assume it will make them happy but we end up hurting them. When the person awakened in God his or her entire ego vanished automatically, because of the person unable to find the ego. Knowing how to be solitary is central to the art of loving. When we can be alone, we can be with others without using them as a means of escape.” – Bell Hooks

Gard the doors of your temple, do not let anyone pollute it with their mess.” – Patricio Telman ChincocoloBut what you may have not known is that, in real life. The higher your position or the more things you have, the more your problems will be. And can you live a happy life with so many problems? There is a saying that goes “Because of more wealth, the rich can’t enjoy a sound sleep. But the poor do sleep very well.” For example, my husband hates getting up early. Sometimes our girls will wake him up at 5 am, and man does he complain about it. Instead of saying “I can’t stand when these kids wake me up so early!” he works really hard to say “I am so grateful that I get to spend this time with these beautiful souls”. We all make choices in life (some good and others not so good). Make the choice to be present in your life rather than letting it pass you by. Do what makes your soul happy, be present, and show up for those around you. #11. Make Value-Centric Choices I had to grow to love my body. I did not have a good self-image at first. Finally, it occurred to me, I’m either going to love me or hate me. And I chose to love myself. Then everything kind of sprung from there. Things that I thought weren’t attractive became sexy. Confidence makes you sexy.” – Queen Latifah
