A Journey into Thought & Spirit

10 Signs You Are in Need of Soul Development

When looking for self-help, the personal development market is saturated with countless programs, books and classes. Most people opt into developing themselves in the work world, focusing on becoming a better leader, more efficient employee or a more creative designer, and often leave their soul behind.
For some, the more they give themselves into the business world the more their soul becomes lost. Why? Most people prioritize their career and “bleed” countless hours of energy into their work. This leaves the soul “high and dry” waving its hand in the corner that says, “please pick me!”
 
For many, the soul is the last kid chosen for a game of pickup basketball. When picked last long-term, the soul gets discouraged, fearful and weak. It no longer wants to play basketball because it gets discouraged, or only shooting one or two shots the entire game.
 
For those that are wrapped up in the work world and are unhappy (and needing more in life) it is your soul’s way of tapping you on the shoulder, or throwing a basketball at your head, depending on the severity.  Find out if your soul is in need of some “TLC” below. 

"You have to go through those mountains and valleys - because that's what life is: soul growth." 
-Wayne Newton


Eat, Sleep, Work, Repeat – If the only thing you know in life is work, or you work to keep yourself busy, your soul is in dire need of a break. There are so many beautiful things in this world to keep your soul occupied other than work. This is also called a “hobby.” Nature walks, painting, yoga, writing, dancing, crafts, picnics – there is a laundry list of things you can do to fulfill your spirit.
 
You Can’t Sit Still – This ties along with people who work constantly. If your body and mind is restless – you need to calm down, take a breath of fresh air and do something soulful.
 
Your Eyes Twitch – If your eyelids twitch, it means you are stressed. Stress overtakes the body in the most negative ways. Take this as a wake up call that you need a break before issues get worse.
 
You Always Think Negatively – If the first words out of your mouth is a negative thought or putdown you really need to focus and trust your soul. There is much good in life that thinking the worst things all the time is a slow poison killing your mind and body. 

You Watch Too Much News – Watching the news everyday is the best way to make you fear life. Try to mix up your news source or layoff the news for awhile. Good and bad things happen every minute of everyday. Many who watch too much news nest at home fearing every negative detail about life. This gives you a limited perspective about life and challenges your belief system. There is more to life than worrying about the world falling apart. 
 
You Have Limited Belief Systems – If your mind is stuck, so are your beliefs. If you believe “there are no good men out there” or “no one will hire me” than you are in need of soul development. When you embrace your soul, your mindset changes. The same is true in the opposite manner. When you ignore your soul and let fear and negative perceptions flood your mind, the mind will follow those beliefs.
 
The Same Patterns Repeat – Whether it’s your behavior or the same choice in shitty partners, repeating negative patterns are a wake up call for change. Something is “stuck” subconsciously or life is trying to teach you that same lesson again and again.
 
You Are Depressed – My yoga guru from India said, “Depression is not a disease it’s a lack of knowledge.” What he meant was a lack of life knowledge because those (with non-clinical depression) do not see the light in life or are blinded with illusions (materialism). The best thing to do when depressed is to skip drug and alcohol use. Spend some quiet time in nature and let the environment do its work.
 
You Want to Hurt Yourself or Others – If you are thinking about suicide or hurting others, there is a gap between you and your soul that you need to “refill.” When you connect to your soul you overcome the anger, hatred, bitterness and revenge that you seek on the world.
 
You Feel Lost – Do you feel that you don’t belong? Are you sick and tired of being sick and tired? If you feel lost, connect to your soul. It’s not a quick fix, but a long journey of discovering yourself and what makes you happy in life. Looking inwards ignites the light, power and passion that lives in each and every one of us.
 
 
Those who find their soul know how to maintain long-term happiness.  Life is a challenge of highs and lows and not everyday will be a perfect sunny day, but when you know your soul, you are better equipped to handle life’s obstacles.

To sign off I leave you with this, 

“You have to grow from the inside out. None can teach you, none can make you spiritual. There is no other teacher but your own soul.”  
-Swami Vivekananda

I'm Angel Castor from the US. White Caucasian Female. I'm 43 years old and I got married at the age of 25, I have only two children and I am living happily.

Five years ago, my husband's behavior became so strange that I didn't really understand what was going on. He packed out of the house to another woman’s house and I love him so much that I
never dream of losing him, I tried my best to make sure that my husband got back to me but all to no avail, I cried and cried seeking help. I discussed it with my best friend Alison and she told me she can help me. She told me of a man called Dr. Odunga, she told me he is a very great man and a real man that can be trusted and there is nothing concerning love and Pregnancy issues he cannot solve and she told me how he has helped her and countless number of people in

restoring their relationship. I quickly contacted his email address at [email protected] I explained all my problems to him, he told me that I should not worry that all my problems will be fine. Presently, I am very happy I got my husband back to me with the help of Dr. Odunga and we are living happily with so much love for each other. What-app message/call him at +2348167159012 to help you
