Feeding the soul matters just as much as feeding the body.
Last week, I shared how I’ve been more thoughtful about what I eat and how online shopping keeps me from letting cravings run the show. That shift got me thinking—if I’m paying more attention to how I feed my body, shouldn’t I also be paying attention to how I feed my spirit?
I don’t mean running back to church pews or suddenly becoming someone I’m not. What I’m talking about is finding ways to reconnect with something greater than myself. A quiet reminder that I don’t have to carry every burden alone.
For me, it’s the small things. A few minutes outside where the air feels like it’s clearing space inside me. Writing down what I’m grateful for instead of letting my head spin with what’s missing. Choosing to focus on what’s good in my day instead of handing over free rent to the negative stuff that shows up uninvited. Pausing long enough to remember that my journey has always had guidance—even when I couldn’t see it at the time.
Last week, I focused on fueling my body. This week, I’m realizing my soul craves the same kind of attention. Both kinds of nourishment matter, and both are worth making room for.
And honestly, if feeding my spirit keeps me grounded in the positive, makes me a little lighter, and slightly less likely to argue with strangers in the Target parking lot well, I’d say that’s progress.
