Soul Food

What feeds your soul?

What do you tend to do to lift your spirits?

Speaking personally, I really enjoy meditation and pleasant conversations with "like minds" and reading some of my favourite books.

I find that the right music can also help to raise one's spirits.

What about you?

Speaking of books, here's one you may never have heard of. It is called "Soul Food" by Kate Kippenberger and is well-worth checking out IMHO.

Here's a little taste of the book:

Compassion

It's very easy to fall into the trap of reacting to other people's behaviour. If someone is rude to us, or if an impatient driver cuts us off in the street, we become annoyed. Instead of feeling annoyed, try to feel compassion by putting yourself in their shoes. Imagine how bad you'd feel to be rude to another person, or how stressed you would feel to be in such a hurry. By taking the focus away from yourself, you realise that other people potentially have problems worse than your own, so be thankful for what you have.

Please feel perfectly free to post your own favourites!

All the best!

For me, there are many ways - action - when I help someone. Meditation. Listening to uplifting music. Petting my dog.

What you said. I would add ' a good laugh with friends' to the list.

At this point in my life...
  • Meditation (I really like this app - Insight Timer Meditation Timer)
  • Gaming - Work can be stressful. Taking out thieves with a bow and arrows in Skyrim helps me decompress.
  • Theological study - I've always been fascinated by what people believe and why. I guess that's kind why I'm here.
