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.
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’s 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.
Here is my opinion – your soul and your spirit are two separate energies that fuel your physical experience. Your soul like your fingerprint is unique 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 regularly to nurture her spirit.
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 the complex. She own all of her experiences – those that are considered negative and those that she could blame on others. She re- frames them for more positive and meaningful experiences … that allow her to grow and uplift 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 allows herself be 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, or a thank you. She gives complements and allows herself to be comfortable receiving them.
With such daily expressions of love, her spirit remains calm and at peace.
The spirit is a conduit of love and it thrives on love.
Meditation
Meditation holds 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, and 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.
Nature
She takes time to enjoy nature. The spirit needs nature – plants, birds, trees, and water. Nature takes away the material concerns and strengthens the relationship between her physical and her 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. When your spirit is free – your intuition will be intensified and your creativity will be enhanced. A confident woman has compassion, she forgives, lets go of the past and moves on.
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 daily mantras. It’s up to YOU to take time to nurture your spirit. 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.

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.
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.
I love this! Thanks for sharing
