Greetings,
A New Year – A Soulful Self-Care Challenge
As we enter a new year with a heartful of hope and enthusiasm for the healing and uplifting renewal we desire or with hesitation due to the disappointment, heartbreak and loss we have experienced it is my intention to guide and inspire you;
To live with renewed intention to heal.
To be kind, loving and patient with yourself.
To allow yourself to be uplifted by the magical.
To observe the awe-inspiring occurrences seen and unseen in your world.
To accept empathy and compassion however it manifests.
In my own experience of child loss, I have discovered that if I am mindful of where I place my energy, and if I can let my attention focus on noticing the magical to be found in subtle ways in my daily life through a chance encounter, the mention of someone or something helpful to me, a connection with a kindred soul, an unexpected card, gift or gesture, a breathtaking sight in nature, creative expression of my own or another, a soul-nourishing meal, a movie date with my husband, a tea date with a friend and the many other occurrences that grace our daily lives yet go virtually unnoticed, I find I can receive a lightness of spirit from the heaviness in my heart.
I also receive a bit of relief from the sadness and despair and for that time and afterward I feel a renewed sense of hope and reclaimed joy in allowing myself to experience and appreciate the magical soulful inspired adventures in my life.
A 52 Weeks of Soulful Self-Care
There are many experiences in life, yet when we experience loss it crumbles or shakes the foundation on which we live. Grief changes us, it opens us up to recognize what’s really important in life. It also teaches us to be gentle, kind and patient with ourselves and others. Self-care is crucial when navigating your own grief journey and caring souls who walk this painful journey with you are helpful in healing your heart and spirit.
Each week of 2019 I personally intend to set a few soulful inspired adventures in motion to experience that would bring about renewal, reclaimed joy and offer awareness of the magical circumstances that bring unexpected surprises and delight to my healing spirit.
I warmly extend an invitation for you to join me in this challenge, let us do this together. Whether you have experienced the loss of a loved one, or any other difficult loss or challenging life circumstance you are welcome. I will share my weekly lists and daily prompts to encourage you along your soulful journey.
Why Participate?
Participating in a challenge is an ideal way to stay mindful of your self-care routine in reclaiming joy and wholeness in your life. You are welcome to join in anytime and participate as often as it feels uplifting to you and I encourage you to share your experience with us in this community and to encourage others along their journey by using #soulfulinspiredadventureschallenge
My new year began with an invitation and intention to dance with my husband as the year counted down from 2018 to 2019 and I intend to keep on dancing …. join me, and let’s dance into the magical. I would love you to tag me @theartofsoulfulinspiredliving with your progress.
A New Year … a new opportunity to live intentionally with renewed purpose and passion as you transform, heal and grow. Over the next weeks and months I will discuss many topics as we delve deeper into the soulful side of life; our renewal, recovery, re-balancing, courage, love, creativity, artistic endeavors, expression, taking chances, family time, reconnection, new friendships, blessings, miracles, magic, spirituality, personal growth, transformation, letting go, lightening up, and leading the way. Stay tuned.
My hope for you: may you be comforted and supported as you go about healing the heartache of loss and grief in your own way.
My wish for you: may your life be magical and filled with love, radiant health, renewal and joy beyond your expectations.
Soulful Inspired Blessings,
Nancy Yuskaitis
