Start with the Soul

         When we are born, its the first time our souls meet our bodies. As the first breath enters our lungs our soul is tethered to us until the last one is documented. Our soul already knows its purpose. It already has the features that our physical body is going to possess (i.e. Hair color, eye color, body stature, mannerisms, etc. ). So, in a sense, we grow into our souls not our bodies.

             The mind is a maze we use with pathways, bridges, twists and turns. Each one is different and each one is utilized differently. The two halves work in tandem yet they each work different when tasked individually. Being such creatures that use both sides of our brains, one would think that we would use the halves as whole to improve productivity, yet we find ourselves mentally exhausted from using one side more dominantly. Our souls are tasked from the beginning to lead our bodies in the right direction. We're born with instincts that tell us how to survive. We imprint on our parents, we eat when we are hungry, our soul tells our brain that oxygen is essential for us to live. Growing up is awkward. Our bodies stretch, our hormones change, our interests and views change as well as our goals in life as we slowly mature into an adult.  

       In the very moment we are born into this world we have the knowledge of the universe at our fingertips. Yet we don't have the means to communicate that information. Coincidence? It's as if the universe trusts in the purity we inherit as newborns and allows us to know how to survive. It's no longer a matter of Darwin's theories or whether God so loved the world. When you're pure in heart and true in character the universe will respond to you. If you're less than ready to handle the weight the world hands you, it's then you change. Stress and turmoil affect the soul and it's ability to shine bright when you need guidance. This is where we name Karma and blame Murphy's law for the times the universe doesn't like our decision. When we start to place blame in the situation it's where we lose ourself. Taking accountability for the way you respond is the first step in righting your universe. Take action and make the universe take note of who you are.

          When we hold anger and resentment in our bodies, the organs start to shut down. Animals register those breakdowns first. Dogs have such a keen sense of smell and sense of positive energy, they know exactly when it happens. Anger and jealousy and all the other heavily negative emotions breed like cancers and often mutate into such diseases. Tumors of the soul are not as prominent as tumors of the brain. Not to say children born with leukemia or women who come up positive for breast cancer are the reason they harbor such malice, it is those who are angry at life from the beginning. Those who are a cancer to society and themselves contract sicknesses easier, progress faster and die sooner. Forgiving people in your past and living simply and wholesome is the only way to combat soul-related sicknesses.

Sometimes there are those people that are supposed to be in your life. You meet them, get to know them, and they benefit your life in some way that you know that you two were supposed to meet. This person you'll know for the rest of your life. Whether it be just friends on social media or a friend you ask to move down the street from. Your souls match in a way that entangles them at the edges, like the fraying on a blanket, they get tangled beyond hope of being released. They benefit you in a way that brings you solace, they bring you peace and sometimes they teach you a thing or two about life and about yourself.

Waking up in the morning requires a routine. It's hard to just roll right out of bed in an instant and get ready for the day. Sometimes what moves you isn't moving you the way it should.

When you look into the mirror and see yourself, it's often in the same fluorescent light day in and day out. You see your hair is sticking up in weird and awkward ways because you slept with it wet, you see the blemishes on your skin from that chocolate bar you ate two days ago. You're more likely to look in the mirror and see the flaws that you went to bed with. How did you expect to want to wake up when you see all the things that make you say 'I wish I had a metabolism' or 'I shouldn't have eaten that whole Hershey's when I was at movie night with the girls'. If you were to get up in the morning and  say 'Man. Look at this babe right here! She's so beautiful and smart and she has the most compassionate soul of anyone I want to meet.' You would be giving yourself one big mental hug for the morning. Skip reaching for the coffee cup and saying 'I'm a mess, I haven't even had my coffee yet'. Instead, get up, roll over and try doing ten push ups. Or 10 sit-ups, or even go get your shoes On and go for a light jog. Wake your mind up. Get your head in the game and take on the day looking in the mirror saying 'hey girl! Lets do this you sexy bitch!' And then give yourself a hug! You got up this morning, that's more than some can say about themselves.
