I’m going to ask you a question which you may or may not have ever asked yourself.
Does your life actually feel like it’s in alignment and in flow with what your soul needs and desires?
If you take a trip down memory lane right now and re-visited everything you did over the past week, is there anything that stands out as feeling heavy or wrong? Maybe there’s something you felt an unusual amount of resistance around or something that simply sucked your energy dry? Maybe it was more obvious and screaming out as a ‘Hell No’ or as being undeniably out of alignment and flow?
When life gets on a roll and one thing leads to another, it’s so easy to begin taking action or making decisions which are not truly in line with what your soul really desires and requires.
Those little choices add up and gradually, little by little, a feeling of uneasiness begins to creep in. You can’t quite seem to fully relax or settle. You’re restless and there’s something you can’t quite put your finger on. If only you could just figure it out, you’re quite certain you’d be able to relax, enjoy your life, and feel in the flow!
The good news is that it’s quite possible. Take a day to slow down, breathe, and look within.
Choose a day where you give yourself permission to not have to do anything- not even your normal daily non-negotiable tasks. And after, try using these four tools below!
Meditate
This can be as simple as having a search on YouTube for a guided meditation video that resonates with you and then listening to it!
You can spend 5 to 30 mins or whatever feels right for you. Just breathe, relax, and be with yourself. See and feel whatever comes up and allow yourself to just be with it.
After you’ve listened to your guided meditation or practiced your own mediation, finish off by asking yourself:
If I was living a life aligned and in flow, what would that look and feel like for me?
See what comes up!

Journal
Find yourself a quiet place. It can be your favorite cafe, park or maybe it’s in the bath with a glass of Bordeaux! You can choose any place as long as you feel relaxed, not rushed, and there are no distractions.
Take your time and work through these journal prompts.
Remember your soul always knows. It’s because everything is already written and all available choices have already been mapped out. All you need to do is to know how to get in touch with your soul and ask:
- What does my soul have to say right now?
- What would my soul have me do?
- In all honesty, what does my soul desire?
- What does my soul require?

Sweat it out
Allocate some time during the day to move your body. This might be a hot yoga class, a fast-paced walk, a gym session or a stretching routine.
The aim is to move your body and ideally, break into a sweat.
You can use this time to not only detox physically through sweating but to detox emotionally as well. Just set an intention before you exercise that you are releasing what needs to be released. Having this time to exercise is rejuvenating for the mind, body, and soul.
Soul aligned action
I’m a big believer that life should be fun, flow-based, and easy!
Take some time to do exactly what it is that your soul needs and wants. It can be something that you find enjoyable, fun, and naturally drawn to doing. This should feel almost effortless and it should come from within.
Maybe it’s a phone call with a soulmate, playing with your kids or binging on a TV series. Maybe it’s taking a long bath while you talk to a loved one or dancing around the lounge to your favorite playlist.
You get the idea!
Use these four tools as much as you need to help bring you back to YOU.
These are four simple but powerful ways to help you know how to get in touch with your soul. They can also highlight what’s not aligned for you.
Eventually, it will become clear if there are any changes you may need to make so you can live more in alignment and flow with your soul.
When you tune in and say yes to what your soul desires, life will then say yes to you!
