Feeding your soul should be as important as eating, but in a fast-moving world, we overlook our basic needs.

The whole concept of the soul is still confusing, though there's no doubt that positive thinking and emotions improve our overall health. Here are some suggestions on how to feed your soul:

Be grateful

It's such a small yet meaningful gesture. Being grateful costs nothing yet brings peace and happiness into your life.

In a race for more money, more material possessions, we forget that we already have plenty. Think about it, write it down. It will help you when the dark clouds come.

Disconnect to connect

There is a worrying level of disconnection among people.

Disconnect your phone and engage with real people. See your friends, relatives, stop just texting.

Help others in need, volunteer, hear what people have to say.

Think with your heart

No one knows what it means to think with your heart, yet we know how it feels.

Every so often, try to let go of what is right and do what feels right. Whatever it is, as long as your heart's in it, your soul will enjoy it.

Educate yourself

Thirst for knowledge should never end.

Keep yourself informed, lose yourself in the books; there's no limit to information. While some might bring you down (world chaos), other stories will lift you.

Life's short

It doesn't matter if you believe your soul is going to live forever or not. But a certain level of spirituality lives in all of us.

Life's too short not to pay attention to what feels right, so live fully. If you do it right, one life is all you need!
