13. Start reading

Reading is something that truly transports us for a moment in time to a whole other world. If you ever want to properly enter a state of peace and struggle with practices such as meditation, reading is one way to allow your brain to be absorbed in a story rather than focused on one hundred other things.

14. Listen to your body and your mind

When you manage to spiritually awaken your soul, it often comes from an ability to listen to your body and mind together. Sometimes it is easy to focus on our physical body which neglects our mind. Likewise, when we prioritize our mind sometimes it may overtake our physical health!

15. Prioritize your boundaries and your peace

Never feel guilty for protecting your peace, even if that means canceling plans or disappointing somebody, or not being able to do one of your many household chores. Prioritizing your boundaries and your peace is super important, especially for your soul!

16. Balance your chakras

Chakras can be determined in many ways, but one way of thinking about them is as though they are each an energy source. And so we are made up of many of these energy sources in different parts of our bodies. But keeping them balanced is something we have to consciously do!

18. Have some silent alone time each day

Sometimes you just need silence. The world is so full of noise, even our heads are so full of noise that it is hard to really get a moment of peace where you can just simply 'be'; sitting with your own thoughts in silence. This shouldn't be a rare occurrence, find a little snippet of time to do this daily.

19. Connect with likeminded people

You'll notice after engaging with different people that you probably feel much more fulfilled or at peace after spending time with like-minded people. So fill your interactive time and social times with like-minded people so that you really enjoy and inspire one another.

20. Pay attention to your dreams

Dreams aren't just random, they are our subconscious mind sending us messages or allowing repressed thoughts to come to the surface. We should pay attention to them in order to listen to that part of ourselves that we have shut away, either purposefully or accidentally.

21. Listen to your inner child

You may have heard about listening to your inner child or working on your inner child to heal past trauma from childhood. Listening to our inner child helps us to connect with our true selves, which may have deviated over time from what we truly want or truly feel! Our inner child is a more accurate representation of our soul.

22. Practice mindful consumption

We have entered a period in time where consumption is all around us. As soon as we turn on the TV or our phones we are being encouraged to consume. Overconsumption is so ingrained in us now, but it brings neither satisfaction nor peace. In fact, living mindfully is far better for the soul.

23. Participate in things you WANT to do

Think about how you feel when you're in your own bubble doing something that you love, just because you love it. It's a very satisfying feeling of happiness and contentment. This is definitely something we should all do more of. Do the things you really want to do!

24. Learn to be comfortable saying no

Learning to say no and being comfortable about your decision isn't being selfish or rude, it's about respecting your own boundaries. To start spiritually awakening your soul you have to listen to your inner feelings and honor them, and one of the ways you can do this is by saying no when you feel you don't want to do something.

25. Find an exercise you love

Image source: Reddit

Exercise is SO good for you in so many ways. It's of course good for your body and good for your mind and when we find something that is good for both of these things, it's also good for the soul! Find something you love to do so that you do not view exercise as a chore.

26. Express your emotions openly

Expressing your emotions can be hard. But the more open we are, the less we carry solely ourselves. When you open up about your emotions you release them, not having to store them away and deal with them yourself, or bury them which can result in the build-up of negative emotions.

27. Connect with your astrological sign

Astrology has for a long time been considered to be linked with our spirituality.
