Principles for a healthy soul
I have been thinking about my journey through life, and how I changed my entire life. I went from my life being like a “dumpster fire,” to having a life I could be proud of. I decided I would write down the principles that God led me to heal.
Caring for your soul is a process of getting unstuck by cleaning out old hurts, sins, bitterness, and secrets to make room for joy, peace, freedom and fullness. It is a deliberate deep clean of your inner world.
It’s an ongoing process, like cleaning a house, it requires intention and repeated effort to invite healing and spiritual growth.
The key principles are the following:
- Introspection and Awareness
It’s gently looking inward, noticing emotions, thoughts, and hidden pains the hold us captive.
- Repentance and Confession
Honestly name and turn away from sins or harmful patterns, and confessing our secrets to God.
- Forgiveness
Released resentment by forgiving those who hurt you and forgiving ourselves for past mistakes.
- Healing Wounds
Allow God to minister to deep-seated hurts and scars from past experiences that create space for emotional release.
- Break Patterns
Identify and disrupt negative family or personal cycles like fear, anxiety, or addiction, anything that hinders your soul.
- Secure your identity
Root your worth in God’s love, not your past or performance, for true security.
- Find Freedom
Overcome fears and spiritual bondage through faith, surrender, and deliverance.
