5 Things A Confident Woman Does To Nurture Her Spirit
A confident woman will take time away from her family and friends to nurture her spirit. She does not hold on to that super woman, no one can function without me mentality. She knows that she will have more of her self to give and her family and friends will enjoy being in her presence even more.
Your spirit is the intangible force that animates your physical being. It is who you are at your core, naked without your everyday masks. Your spirit seeks harmony, peace, love and balance. It is important to feed your mind and take care of your body but it is as equally important to nurture your spirit. A nurtured spirit will leave you feeling rested, energized, aligned and in harmony with all that is good.
There are many interpretations of what the spirit is or isn’t and there is also the question as to whether the spirit and the soul are one and the same. Here are my thoughts and before I share them – I want you to know that my beliefs are not carved in stone. I am open to listening, learning and letting go of old beliefs if I discover one that is more meaningful. So here is my opinion – your soul and your spirit are two separate energies that fuel your physical experience. Your soul like your fingerprint is yours and yours alone and your spirit is connected to everyone and the universe. In spirit we are one.
This is a topic that needs deeper exploration. For now let’s address the 5 things a confident woman does to nurture her spirit on a daily basis.
Gratitude
Giving thanks and appreciating all that she has NOW. She sees and appreciates the blessings in her life. The big and the small, the simple and complex are all appreciated. She owns all of her experiences – even those that are considered negative and as well as those that she could blame on others. She re frames them for more positive and meaningful experiences. Experiences that allows her to grow as it uplifts and nurtures her spirit.
Love
She is not afraid to love and be loved. But most important she loves herself unconditionally – in spite of WHATEVER. Whether it is romantic or platonic love she takes a risk, making herself vulnerable to receive and to give love. If she has been hurt and/or disappointed with love, she allows herself to embrace love. She expresses love daily, with a simple smile, a hello and a thank you. She gives complements and allows herself to be comfortable receiving them. With such daily expressions of love her spirit is calm and at peace. The spirit is a conduit of love and it thrives on love.
Meditation
Meditation allows her to hold her mind in abeyance. It relaxes her physical body and connects her to spirit. With the removal of all the noise and distraction valuable communication can be made with her spirit. It’s comparable to spending quality time with some one you love in the physical world. The spirit is her internal mentor, coach, her guiding light. Such communication allows her to tap into her “soul’s purpose.” The decisions she should make, the path she should travel. Meditation allows her to have one on one time with herself – namely her spirit. She emerges from the experience invigorated, focused and strongly connected to her core beliefs and her values.
Nature
She takes time to enjoy nature. The spirit needs nature- plants, birds, trees, and water. When the spirit is with nature the experience can be likened to spending time with your twin that you have not seen in some time. Nature takes away the material concerns and strengthens the relationship between her physical and spiritual being. Even if she lives in the city, the confident woman will find a way to connect to her higher self thorough nature.
Forgiveness
Your spirit suffers when there is a lack of forgiveness. This suffering can affect you physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. Holding on to grudges, blame and ill will keeps you shackled to your past and in turn it keeps your spirit from been free – free to intensify your intuition and motivate and enhance your creativity. A confident woman has compassion, she forgives, lets go of the past and moves on. It frees her spirit and ignites it with happiness. When her spirit is contented she becomes an abundance magnate in the physical world.
In this fast paced world where I am too busy, I don’t have enough time (even though we have invented zillions of gadgets to free up our time) have become the daily mantras. It is up to YOU to allow yourself to take time to nurture your spirit on a daily basis. It’s easy - give thanks, embrace love, look up at the sky, smell the roses, smile, say thank you and be compassionate. A healthy spirit fills your days with peace, happiness, and fulfillment. Start today and do one thing that nurtures your spirit. The reward will be PRICELESS.

Too often we don't take time to nurture ourselves, yet when we do, we feel better…and most of us know those wonderful, positive feelings foster more good feelings. Too often, I tell myself I don't have time to… tho can't recall a time when the minutes spent enjoying nature, counting blessings, or in meditation did not enhance my life or my ability to enhance someone else! In the end, few of us will say we wish we spent more time working. Thanks for the reminder to consciously appreciate the goodness and the challenges in our lives.
I love this! Thanks for sharing
Thanks for stopping by Linda. I look forward to more of your commnets.
Thanks for your feed back Pamela. We forget to nurture self because we are too busy being busy. However, living a balanced life does not mean we give equal time to all areas. It means giving some time. Even a five minute break each day for nurturing our spirit is more beneficial than waiting until you can take off for a weekend retreat.
Pamela, you are on point – we get so busy in our microwave is too slow world – that we forget to nurture our spirit. When spirit is not nurtured the physical body and physical experience is affected negatively. some reach for drugs, food, alcohol or other escapes that wounds the spirit even more.
Hi Linda, I am so honored that you took time to read my post and leave a comment. I look forward to you visit in the future.
