When you feel overwhelmed and the world is loud, you will find the most peace when you are able to stay true to your soul and are living in alignment with your higher self.

Why?

Because thoughts and actions taken outside of this place will always end up in the negative energy, thereby depleting you of your life force. You betray yourself when you are not in alignment with your soul, and that’s why you feel so bad.

Staying true to your soul means…

Staying true to your soul means honoring and accepting what you know to be true for you. It is what lights you up, and facilitates your to follow your bliss.

It means not defining yourself by….what your friends, parents, partners, acquaintances, the media, or any other outside influence says about you.

Why? Because they don’t really know you. Honestly, they can’t know you. Only your higher self fully knows whats in your heart.

Your mind on the other hand is not to be trusted.

If you think to yourself, “I’m a bad person,” you’ll likely feel a certain level of discord from within. That’s your higher self saying WRONG.

When your self talk is instead something like, “I made a mistake, but I’m only human and always learning, and that mistake doesn’t define the eternal soul of who I AM,” you will likely have a much better signal coming back from your higher self. It will be a signal of love and compassion.

When you are truly in alignment with your soul, you are kind, you are loving, you are compassionate, and you are fully open. You know it by how good you feel!

But, when we feel bad we have a distorted sense of reality. Especially when we adopt a thought that doesn’t serve us, or when we take action from a place of ego our higher self, our soul knows its not true. That disconnect between the ego and soul, is when we feel our worst.

Why being true to your soul is important

Ignored feelings usually show themselves in the body eventually as pain and dis-ease. You need to live a life that is true to your soul, so that repressed feelings like resentment and anger do not harbor themselves in your body and you energy.

We cannot betray who we are by making everyone else happy except ourself. Denying the self diminishes your energy, your life force.

You came here to expand, not shrink.

You came here to experience joy, not to play by someone else’s rules. You came here knowing that there was not a single thing wrong about you, and your soul is not going to let you forget it.

Living your life for others only works for so long. Until the ignored emotions begin physically hurting. Until you find yourself miserable and overwhelmed because your days are spent trying to appease others. Until you are forced to put yourself first because you must choose to either merely exist or live fully.

How to stay true to your soul?

In this world of constant triggers and peer pressure and the sacrificing of self being put on a pedestal, how do you remain true to yourself?

How do we stay real and live our lives in a way that feels authentic, joyful, and full of love?

Here are 3 ways you can begin to do just that:

1. Make Sacred alone time daily

A disconnected feeling can come over us when we can’t spend time alone with ourselves. I know for myself, when I go days without being alone, I realize I feel completely unstable, emotionally overwhelmed, and I don’t even know where my thoughts are going. Its like alone time is a space I recharge my mind and my soul.

The mind has a chance to relax and we can reflect on what’s been coming up for ourselves without the noise of world drowning out what we intuitively know to be true.

Imagine the people who are going months and years without being by themselves. Spending time alone is one of the most therapeutic things we can do for ourselves.

Find 30 minutes to be alone with yourself. Those times when you go to scroll your phone, instead try to just be present in your surroundings. Take deep breaths, Meditate. Sit in silence. Listen to nature. Watch a flower, candle flame, or the trees.

Alone time will do amazing things for you spiritually, mentally, emotionally, and physically.

2. Let your emotions flow and go

The emotions that soar through our body is not who we are. When we can step back and observe them, allow them to rise and spread throughout our awareness, they will disappear and lose power over us.

When we try to push them under the rug and ignore them, we hold those emotions in our energy and prolong their existence within us. The accumulated emotions in our energy is what makes us sick. The emotions need to be felt and released.

From The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle, I learned this technique: I sit in a quiet place and allow an emotion to come up within me.

If I’m having anxiety, rather than pushing it away, I will let the negative thought or emotion be brought forward. I’ll notice where I feel it in my body (usually it’s in my heart or gut) and simply let it be there. Within the few minutes, the emotion is gone because it was allowed to flow and then let go. You come into the present moment, in mind and body, and no other emotion except peace can live there. All others are let go.

Some other ways to let your emotions flow are to journal, going for a walk, meditation, or through creating art.

3. Be Conscious with Your energy

“Where you place your attention is where you place your energy. Once you fix your attention or your awareness or your mind on possibility, you place your energy there as well. As a result, you’re affecting matter with your attention or observation. The placebo effect is not fantasy, then; it’s quantum reality. Energy.” ~ Joe Dispenza

Your consciousness literally amplifies whatever you put your focus on. If you focus on negative feeling things all day long, you are actually amplifying them not only for yourself, but for the world at large.

The more you focus on the manifested in the outside world, the more you lose connection with the one that truly matters, which is the world that is inside of you.

Being peaceful and joyful and living a soulful life cannot happen when you focus 95% of your day on the drama of other people.

Focus on your higher self, your soul. Focus on your joy, focus on what lights you up, focus on what puts a smile on your face, focus on what soothes you and brings you feelings of peace. That’s where your true self is.

In Conclusion

Remember that your true self is right here, right now. Full of love and completely at peace. Resting in the knowledge that all is well.

When you can sit quietly and observe all the beauty around you, let go of your thoughts and worries, laugh loudly and deeply, embrace a loved one extra tight, forgive instantly…you know you are living from your soul.

Live with love, compassion, and innocence. This is where you will always find that your higher self is happiest.
