Feel Good Again with These Simple, Soulful Practices

 

 

 

 

It is very easy to worry over challenges in your life until you do not feel good. In this state, it is easy to lose perspective. The challenge seems larger than it really is.

How do you relax and get your mind and body back into balance?

Here are some tips on finding balance in your life enabling you to regain perspective. Life will not seem so scary when you are able to truly appraise your challenges.

Music and dance

When we dance together, we repeatedly practice taking steps together. This helps us stay in tune with the music. The energy around us becomes more harmonious. As a result, collaboration is easier, and agreements are more likely to be adhered to.

Historically, many cultures have traditions of activities involving moving in synchronisation together. It is a time to disconnect from your mind. You become more engaged with your body and the flow of life. Dancing is excellent for you and makes you feel good. If you are shy about dancing publicly, you can always try dancing at home in privacy.

Perhaps in modernising our lifestyles, we have inadvertently thrown out practices that aid the quality of human life. Dancing is so much fun. Personally, I find it energises me, makes me laugh, and I love doing it. The feel-good effect of dancing works alone, with another individual, or in a group. Some people are pretty shy about dancing for fear of making a mistake or feeling foolish. My own son is one of these! What people have forgotten is that dancing is not about perfection. It is about relaxation and involves going with the flow. In doing this, you can get so much enjoyment from doing a fun activity with other people.

Dancing together brings relaxation and harmony.

Laughter

It is such a lovely light energy. This is why you feel good when you laugh. When I was in corporate life, at times, everything was going wrong around me. To help my colleagues and me feel uplifted, my soul used to make us laugh. A silly joke used to just come out of me, and I was left wondering where it came from. At the time, I used to think – oh dear, that is a little inappropriate! But I observed everyone would laugh, the tension was broken, and everyone relaxed. Then we could engage our brains in finding a solution to our problem.

Bring laughter to your life, and you will be able to work on your problems more easily.

Talking to someone you trust

Holding on to your worries is very corrosive to your emotions and body. Simply talking to someone you trust gets the worry out of you. As you hear yourself speaking of your worries, you will see them shrink. This puts them into perspective and makes them more solvable.

Get your worries out of you and they become more manageable.
