What Hurts Your Soul?

Keeping Secrets

Do you find that you are always unhappy, and the unhappiness is so strong that not only does it hurt your soul, but it also hurts your mind and your body as well? This can be painful to the point where you might even feel that you can no longer go on and that you might just explode. The reason that this happens is that when something bad happens or a series of bad things happen, you will have pain that allows negativity to fill your organs and your soul.

Everyone has had bad things happen here and there but what is it that hurts your soul to make you feel so bad? What part of the spiritual being that you are has to deal with the pain and suffering of things that are hard and things that are bad? This kind of emotional pain can come when bad things happen or when you really want something that you can’t seem to get.

The best thing that you can do is to not let this kind of pain fill your soul and one thing you can do is to figure out what is causing it!

  • Keeping Secrets

Have you ever had to keep a secret that was a big secret? You might have had to live with this secret for your whole entire life. It is hard to keep a secret and it can be bad for your mental and physical self.

The secret might be someone else’s that you are keeping for a friend, or it might be something that happened to you that can hurt other people. Having a secret that is negative and that you have to keep can keep you from feeling free. Find out if keeping the secret is going to end up hurting you or if it would be best to tell someone and be relieved from it.

  • Lack of Self-Esteem

Having self-esteem and confidence is one thing that helps people to be the beset that they can be. Even if you’re confident, you might have things in your past that have caused you to not be as strong as you used to. This can get to the point where it hurts your soul.

When you look back on your past and there are things that you don’t like or if you don’t like yourself now, this can cause you to be upset. It can cause you to really dislike yourself and have no confidence. The truth is, you are who you are, and you need to learn to have confidence in being the best that you can be.

  • Unreturned Love

Have you ever fallen in love, and they didn’t love you back? This is something that almost everyone has gone through at one time or another. This isn’t common but that doesn’t mean that it isn’t painful for you. Unreturned love can make your soul feel sad and depressed and it is something that you aren’t able to change. This can cause a heaviness in your heart and something that you have no power to make different.

  • Being Tired All the Time

Some people work non-stop, and they are constantly tired. If this happens ever once in a while that is a bit different but if you find that you are constantly exhausted, it can cause you to be upset in your soul. Exhaustion will cause you to have no energy and will cause you to be emotional. If you work a lot of hours and you don’t get enough sleep or you just aren’t sleeping well, this can cause you to have mental stress like fear or anxiety.

  • Being Someone You Aren’t

Another thing that can make you unhappy in your soul is trying to be someone that you aren’t. Do you ever go out with people, and you have to be completely opposite of who you are? Just like when you were in elementary school and you wanted to fit in with the popular kids, you might feel that you have to do this to fit in even now.

This kind of behavior that happens over and over can cause grief in your soul. If you are always trying to be someone that someone else wants you to be or you are always afraid of being yourself, it can make your soul heavy.

  • Not Being Understood

People won’t always understand you or what you’re going through. Humans try to look at things from different perspectives especially if it isn’t something they are going through. If you aren’t being understood, it can cause your soul to ache. Look for people that understand you and want to be part of your life.

  • Chaos

If you are in a place of constant chaos, this can cause you to be unhappy and stressed. This can be your home; this can be your office or anywhere that you go. If you have a home that is full of clutter and garbage it can cause you stress and anxiety and can even lead to depression. Keep your house clean and your space tidy to feel better.

  • Not Reaching Your Full Self

One of the hardest things for people to face is not reaching their full potential in life. Everyone falls shorts and everyone misses a goal here and there. If you feel that you aren’t successful enough and you wish that you were, this can cause you to have an unhappy soul. Everyone fails and everyone messes up, but you have to keep trying.

Final Thoughts

Have you ever felt any of these things that hurt your soul to the place where you feel it in your own body? Give yourself time to grieve and time to heal and do self-care to make sure that you can recharge, and you can get past your sadness into a place of joy and peace.
