When you hear the term Soul Work, what happens inside you?
Is there something that breathes a little deeper, finds a little more space for an aspect of you that gets very little attention (but keeps eating at you 24/7)?
It goes beyond career planning – far beyond that! We are so much more than our jobs – thank goodness!!
However, the workplace is a great place to start the inquiry. We spend so many hours a day earning a living.
And, if you aren’t working, you’re probably thinking about finding a job.
And you are looking at retirement, you want to know the next phase of life is meaningful and rewarding.
Here’s a working definition of Soul Work from my perspective – what will you add to it?
- You are living in alignment with your values (do you know what they are?)
- You feel a sense of progress (not perfection) and growth
- You feel a sense of safety – you are not being trampled and traumatized(that doesn’t mean you’re not scared, because risks abound)
- You feel seen and heard, valued and appreciated (when you are expressing yourself authentically)
- You are endlessly fascinated by the topic(s) you put your attention on (rabbit hole after rabbit hole)
- You feel “well used” by Spirit when you do this work (it feels like “the Zone”)
- You love learning and growing within your area of curiosity; you can’t wait to get back to it every time – even when it’s hard (just because it’s easy for you, doesn’t mean it’s your soul work)
- You enjoy the people you meet on this soul work path (colleagues, collaborators, peers, fellow students)
- You think about it a lot! (I never stop!)
- You feel like you are who you were born to be (and that aspect is always growing with you)
What it isn’t:
- Boring
- Soul destroying
- Abusive
- Crazy-making (some aspects might be as you learn your craft)
- Dead-end (nowhere to go but down)
- Risk-free (you might feel like you are leaping off a cliff because it’s so important to you – when you care, it’s scary sometimes)
- Secure (until you know where your security really lies – then, it’s the most secure thing in the world)
- Depressing (as in you can’t be yourself, and can’t express yourself)
- Consistently Exhausting (unless you are on fire with your first publishing deadline!)
