As a dancer and, certainly, as a person, I often struggle to keep my soul intact.
Wars - internal and external -, economy, global warming; personal and collective issues. And, what hurts deeper in the skin, heartbreak coming from the observation of a world that seems less and less human, more and more machine-like, robotic, soulless.
Making sure I, too, don´t lose my soul starts to look like a full-time job. Luckily, it´s a pleasant job.
Here are 3 of my favorite SOUL BOOSTERS suited for the season we´re living. Feel welcome to adopt them, adapt them to your own, and share them.
Ready to LIFT YOUR SPIRIT(S)? Let´s go!
I make sure I stay out in the sun - morning sun, if possible - for at least 20 minutes every day.
There´s something about the Autumn/Winter sun that boost my soul. Is it the nostalgia? The bitter-sweet feeling of endings? Is it a subtle message from another world?
I don´t know what it is but it´s powerful.
I expose my skin to the Sun. I let it sink in and it gives me more than a dose of vitamin D - it boosts my soul.
An occasional Autumn/Winter - warm and velvet-tasting - drink accompanied by a good book.
More than a double pleasure, it´s an evasion that allows my brain and body to rest and, strangely or not, awakens my soul.
I pick a cozy coffee-shop or, when that´s not possible, I improvise one at home. Coffee or hot cocoa and a table covered in books. Ah, I´m in heaven.
There´s power in showing up and sharing your light - there´s also power in temporarily hiding, retreating, resetting. That´s what this simple ritual allows me to do.
One of my most beloved - and infallible - soul boosters.
Reading it in silence or out loud. For myself and for my man. Or for a dear friend, an unicorn like me.
Don´t discard it until you try it.
Good poetry reaches your soul in a way nothing - not even the best prose, not even silence - will.
It jumps above our intellect, worries, and ego and it lands right where it´s supposed to: on our soul. Only to stir it, open it, reawaken it.
I have several favorite poets - Mary Oliver being one of them. Search for yours. Thank me later❤
