Thinking Of Yourself As A Soul With A Body Rather Than A Body With A Soul

Writer: Thea LessardThea Lessard

As human beings, we often think of ourselves as physical beings with a soul. We focus on our bodies, our physical appearance, and our material possessions.


However, what if we shifted our perspective and thought of ourselves as souls with a body? What would change in our lives if we saw ourselves as spiritual beings having a physical experience?


Thinking of ourselves as souls with a body means recognizing that we are more than just our physical form. We are spiritual beings with a purpose and a mission in life.


Our bodies are simply vessels that allow us to experience the physical world and interact with others. When we shift our perspective in this way, we begin to see the world differently. We start to focus less on material possessions and more on spiritual growth and development.


We begin to see the beauty in nature, the interconnectedness of all things, and the importance of living a life of purpose and meaning. Thinking of ourselves as souls with a body also helps us to see beyond our differences.


We recognize that we are all spiritual beings, regardless of our race, gender, or cultural background. We begin to see others as fellow souls on a journey of growth and development, rather than simply physical bodies to be judged or compared. This shift in perspective can also help us to find greater peace and contentment in our lives.


When we focus on our spiritual growth and development, we begin to let go of the need for external validation and approval. We recognize that our true worth comes from within, and we start to live our lives in alignment with our values and beliefs. So how can we start thinking of ourselves as souls with a body?


Here are a few tips:


1. Practice mindfulness: Take time each day to connect with your inner self. Meditate, journal, or simply sit in silence and reflect on your thoughts and feelings.


2. Focus on your purpose: Ask yourself what your purpose is in life. What are you passionate about? What brings you joy and fulfillment? Focus on these things and let them guide your actions and decisions.


3. Connect with others: Seek out connections with others who share your values and beliefs. Join a spiritual community, attend a retreat, or simply reach out to others who inspire you.


4. Let go of attachments: Recognize that material possessions and external validation are fleeting. Focus on what truly matters in life – love, connection, and spiritual growth.



In conclusion, thinking of ourselves as souls with a body can be a powerful shift in perspective. It can help us to find greater peace, contentment, and purpose in our lives. So take some time to connect with your inner self, focus on your purpose, and let go of attachments. You may be surprised at the transformation that takes place.
