“Have you thought about the fact that you are the sum total of all your choices up until this moment?”  --- Dr. Wayne W. Dyer

What Feeds Your Soul?
 
I’ve discovered in life that every person, place, and activity either gives or takes energy from me.  I don’t mind either one, but what I know for myself is I need to have in-Balance the give and take of life.  I haven’t always know this.  In fact, my belief system stemming from childhood indicated that giving is really all there is.

A few years ago, I had an amazing Reflexology session with Dr. Linda Rice in which she told me (and gave me permission for) something I will never forgotten (partly because it’s brilliant, and partly because I’m still reeling over the shock).  She told me, “For every minute/hour/day you GIVE your energy to others or things, you need to replenish equal amount of time to RECEIVE.”   Do you realize the magnitude of this statement?  Immediately, I went home and drew up a list.  The first column was ’Things that I give my energy to’ and the second column was ’Things that I receive energy from‘.  It didn’t take long to realize that I needed to, to the best of my ability, balance this list to become more equalized.  Many things surprised me on this list, and many things belonged in both columns.  I learned a lot about myself that day.

It was important for me to find the balance between the give and the take.  But even more importantly, I could see on paper the obvious.  There are clear energy ’drainers’ which I could choose to decrease.  But better yet, there are clear soul-feeding, passion, fun-filled loves in my life that I could choose to increase.  I am choosing to ’plug in’ to the very people, places, and events that feed my soul versus the opposite.  And, I am grateful for that choice.
