Do you remember when you were a kid when your spirit was so high, you
had tons of energy and all you wanted to do is go play outside? That
youthful spirit, fearlessness and active lifestyle disappears slowly as
you get older. If you observe kids you will see they live in the present
moment and they rely on their instincts. They aren’t concerned about
tomorrow or what will happen next. This attitude towards life is how
each of us are born.
So what happens to this spirit? It still exists in each one of us and
there are days when you can feel it on the surface but those days are
limited. When you feel this presence you know its there and you feel
like you are living on a high. That’s tapping into the soul. The soul
exists in each of us but it’s masked by the outer vessel called the
body. We focus so much attention on the outer being when this isn’t
actually who you are. I have always believed we are spiritual beings
having a human experience. I have heard people like Oprah and Dr. Wayne
Dyer say that verse time and time again. I didn’t believe it at first
but when you really think about it this phrase is so true.
What happens when we get older is we start to let doubt, fear, and
worry become part of our lives. We live day by day “just getting by.” We
get stuck in a routine. Why do we allow this to happen? We resist so
much of what is going on in our lives that we are actually living
unconsciously.
The first thing you can do to change your life into a more peaceful,
present state is to become aware of what is going on. Once you become
aware of how you are living you can begin to start living a different
way. Living this way not only helps you appreciate the little things in
life but you will feel a sense of aliveness that is important to your
well being. Don’t ever let your youthful spirit age. You are never too
old to enjoy life and live an active lifestyle. You will tap into that
part of yourself that is always there no matter what and when you do
that you unleash the person you truly are and begin to live a full, rich
life!
