I used to not know that nurturing the soul was so important. I would try to satisfy my ego and still be unhappy as a result. This has always been one of my biggest mistakes. The most important thing to know is that if you want to be happy in this life, you have to shrink your ego. The real cause of our unhappiness is ego. This system we are in now gives us various things as matter, but we are spiritually distancing from ourselves. Many of us have formed our own selves within us and have always sought to satisfy him. Many of us are unhappy now because of this search. We wear many masks because of some situations and people we encounter. Over time, these masks proliferate so much that we forget our true selves after a while. Today I want to talk to you about how we feed our soul instead of our ego.
"Ego is an artificial mask created by family, society and culture. It is a mask on top of another mask."- Alejandro Jodorowsky
Ways to Weaken Our Ego
The first rule is very important! Behave the way you want others to treat you. Stop considering yourself superior to other people. When feedback is made against you, see them as useful information, not criticism. Know how to apologize to someone when they break their heart. In the meantime, there will always be people who will hurt you. Instead of harboring grudge and revenge on them, drive them away from you. Admit that your opinions and the path you are going are not correct. Sometimes people can be wrong, maybe you may be wrong too. Most importantly, stop manipulating and controlling others. We have an ancestor word around here. "Whatever you give, it will come with you". Do not forget that! Whatever you give in this life, you always get it in return.
The biggest obstacle before us is our mind. Our mind always focuses us away from the moment and outwards. We shouldn't push ourselves into the negativity of our mind. If we follow our mind and get into negativity, we will be very unhappy in bilateral relations. The reason for this is that we do not know how to love and cannot get to be loved. The moment when we are freed from the bondage of our mind is the moment we live! The person who has succeeded in this is always the person who loves and is loved!
When you lower your ego, you will meet with the essence. When you meet your essence, everything you are looking for awaits you there. You encounter your self-confidence, self-love, self-esteem, and most importantly, your self-worth. You are getting rid of your ego, discovering the self beyond it. Many people find themselves very worthless, so they are very unhappy that they don't get the value they deserve. In fact, we are all very valuable existentially. You must first accept this with your self. If we were worthless why should we be here, right?
If you move away from the high ego and the self in you; Endless despair, constant worries about the future, and regrets in your past life will never leave you. Now ask yourself would you like to live with such a mind? None of us would like to live like this. None of us deserve to live like this. So let's start feeding our soul.
Ways to Nourish the Spirit
I'm sure you are taking too much care of your body. You do a lot of products and treatments for him. What about your soul? Do you show him the same care and care? Just like our body, we should take care of our soul. In fact, we have to do this with more. It is a fact that our body always needs food. Our soul needs some food just like our body. One of them is to take pleasure! Our body and soul take great pleasure in taking pleasure. You have to feed this feeling. Focus on the things that make you enjoy. These are not difficult requests. You can enjoy reading books, listening to music, and many other simple things. In this way, you can give him the food your soul is looking for. Remember that our soul is hungry just like our stomach. If you don't feed him, he will die.
When was the last time you rested? We all keep running after something. Life is not running away, it is waiting for you to understand it. It is waiting for you to hold tightly to it and live it. Take time for yourself. Go out into nature and wander alone. Spend more time with your loved ones. Make friends with people who will not tire your soul. Eliminate those who upset you and drove you into despair from your life. Make sure you reward yourself enough.
The other thing your soul needs to nourish is spirituality. To live a life with meaning, you need to enrich your spirituality and nurture your soul. It is the wealth of our inner world that separates us from matter and makes us human. Having a meaningful existence comes back to us as a meaningful inner world. To do this, you have to look at your life in a different light. Even deal with your past by evaluating your spiritual life and leave it in the past. From now on, focus on the future. Take a positive view of the events and approach them with tolerance.
Make a list for yourself. Write down the positive things you want to increase in yourself. Keep it in mind during the day and process it subconsciously. In time, your consciousness will work on this subject. If you haven't tried meditation, you should definitely try it. Allow your soul to heal by meditating. There are many different types of meditation online that you can practice yourself. I even saw a lot of useful articles on this topic on the hive. You can research them. Apply any of them without any expectations. Then you will see the difference in yourself. For example, right now while writing this article I am listening to a frequency that takes me away from negative energies. I will leave it down to listen.
I hope I have benefited you that coincided with this post. Thank you in advance for reading and evaluating. You are precious. Never forget this. I hug you with infinite love.

What nice words, it's nice to read these things. I'm happy to see you here and read these positive things, you start the day with the best smile. Thanks for your article, I enjoyed it very much.
A hug and blessings! :D
It made me very happy that you expressed these beautiful thoughts in my post. I hug you big. Thank you.🤗
This is a very nice post! I think that ego causes way too much pain in our lives. The need to feel superior, to criticize and to hold a grudge are signs of a very active ego.
I like the mentioning of nature walks and rewarding oneself. Too often our ego makes us do so many things for others without looking at how little we do for ourselves.
It's nice to see someone with the same thoughts. In fact, the best free medicine is to be found in nature. When you surrender yourself to it, you understand everything better. Thank you for stopping by.
My pleasure! I am a big fan of nature so I totally resonated with your lovely post
I loved your post, you are very right
Thank youu 🤗
Greetings, thank you for writing this post, I am at a point where I am already working on many things in me that I want to strengthen, and for being you I was already working on my ego, but a few months ago wrapped in stress and frustrations, meditating on my life. I realized that I had much of what I wanted, and that just what was making me suffer was something so silly, I felt sorry for myself the need for a better position, to show that I had been able to emerge, I have moved forward, I have emerged and the medal is not a position or more money to show off a better life, it was simply to be happy, enjoy what I had.
First of all, I'm glad you realized that. I was in the same situation as you, but now I am aware of the things that matter spiritually. I wish you success on this road. I hope you find what you are looking for with all the beauty 🌹
