Feeling drained within yourself? Find peace inside your soul.

Sometimes we get side tracked with our daily routines, problems and worries. We get so caught up in the thoughts and emotions we forget to sit down and breathe. We have our minds running in million directions with all the drama and chaos that’s thrown in our face. By the end of the day you feel drained out, like the universe has sucked all that you have out of you and you are feeling hollow and still restless. Do you ever feel this way? I find this happening to me often, trying to find the solution, trying to make sure everyone is well taking care of around me, trying to save the world as if I’m in that big of a power. The truth of the matter is- we are just normal human beings, we have our own needs and we all want love and support in return. Sometimes being overly concerned with everything that’s going on doesn’t help, instead it makes us more anxious on how to resolve the problem and leaves us at a constant limbo with our thoughts and emotions. Going through something that’s worrisome, something that we feel we have to fix because no one else will -can be very draining to the soul and your spirit. Even if we feel we are the strongest and it’s up to us to fix everything, to take care of everyone and to make everyone happy we have to remember that we are no superman! We need the love, the support and the time to just be us. We need that hug and understanding that we are also just a being craving for that comfort, wanting to feel that for once someone will say “I got your back, I’ll take care of it, just relax”. Our soul, our mind and our body is taking a beating by constantly forcing ourselves to keep going, we don’t even realize at times how much pressure we put on ourselves to be the strong one, to be the logical one, to be the one to save the day. There comes a time where you are ready to give up, because you feel like there is nothing left to give and that’s because you haven’t taken the time to do something for yourself, to do what your soul desires. We need to step out of the hamster wheel for once, and go to the place where we feel comfort. Where you forget about your worries and you don’t feel like you have to keep running to tackle another task. Meditate with inspirational music, and speak to your soul- ask yourself where are you hurt, what makes you sad what do you feel is missing in your life. When you see what you really need- take the time to go towards those goals. If it’s you wanting to do something creative because it inspires you and makes you feel good, or you reading a book or taking special workshop classes that make you feel more spiritual. Whatever it is that sooth your soul and gets you closer to feeling complete- you have to do it. We need to find the time for our own selves, we need to understand what we desire, and we need to give ourselves that time to experience that warm soothing feeling of happiness. If we learn how to listen to what we need and give that time for ourselves we would live more balanced life. We wouldn’t feel so drained out and restless. Meditation where you can calm your mind and listen to your inner self, communication- where you let go of your emotions and feel support from loved ones and simply giving time for your own self to do something that inspires you and makes you feel good is what we need.
