7 Signs That You Are A Free Soul

Being a free soul, beyond its most spiritual aspect, responds to a type of personality that has reached an adequate level of maturity and psychological competencies based on autonomy and security.

It is not at all easy to reach this peak of our personal growth.

It is a dimension that, in reality, would fit very well into that top of the pyramid of needs that Abraham Maslow introduced in 1943 in his article “A Theory of Human Motivation”.

Being a free soul does not mean being, feeling and acting detaching yourself from ties, responsibilities or signs of relationship that allow you to take root.

We are talking about a series of characteristics, attitudes and ways of interacting with reality that undoubtedly make us more fit and secure in the face of life and its adversities.

There where unhealthy attachments or suffocating dependencies do not fit.

Next, we suggest you discover if these dimensions that we now explain define you in body, soul and feeling.

1. You choose, think and act without needing anyone’s approval

Getting to that point in our personal journey where no outside approval is needed is definitely a big step.

Throughout a good part of our existence we need to be validated by society.

First for our parents, then for our peers and, later, for our work environments.

Showing ourselves as we are, speaking with the heart and sincerity is not achieved overnight .

Only truly free souls do.

2. You live without fear: you trust yourself

Experts in personal growth and motivational psychology know that fear is the great vetter of opportunity. This is stated in this study from the Del Valle University (Colombia).

For his part, the psychologist Noam Shpancer, Otterbein University, in Ohio, United States, assures that fear generates anxiety, so it must be faced and overcome.

When we let go of the veils of worries and stop putting fatalities first, we advance with safer feet.

Happiness is always beyond the borders of fear. However, to cross those lines what we need, first of all, is adequate “self-confidence”.

3. You are an authentic, cheeky, spontaneous person

You are one of those people who no longer puts filters on their language because before they have done an adequate mental process to know that the truth must always be ahead.

• Sincerity defines you, but also the impudence that starts smiles and establishes complicities.
• You are spontaneous because you no longer care what they will say, let alone what they will think.

Authentic personalities are free souls because their inner selves no longer live with censorship.

They have made contact with their essences and values ​​to show the world how they understand life: from passion.

4. You know what is worth fighting for

The free soul, contrary to what many may think, does not involve avoiding responsibilities or aspiring to a carefree form of freedom where desires come and go erratically. Absolutely.

The free soul knows what to fight for: for what it loves, for what identifies it and makes it happy.

The rest is irrelevant.

5. The free soul does not speak the language of attachments

Attachment, understood from the affective point of view, is the great enemy of personal growth.

• Falling into a relationship marked by affective addiction vetoes our integrity, freedom and self-expression.
• The person who defines himself as a free soul knows how to love without depending.
• He offers the best of himself to others feeling complete and without seeing love a drug in which to fall prisoner.

6. The free soul knows how to appreciate the little things in life

Being free means not being attached to what vetoes our growth and puts bars on our way of feeling and living.

This passion for freedom is achieved by knowing how to prioritize, understanding that the most important things in life are not things, they are sensations.

In turn, these sensations are given by the simplest and most everyday experiences: a talk, a walk on the beach, a date, a trip, walking barefoot, hugging our pet, going for a run without having a single worry in the mind…

Busy and pre-occupied people  are unable to appreciate those kinds of everyday details that freer minds do identify, promote, and value.

7. Life itself inspires you and, with your attitude, you inspire others

It is possible that, on more than one occasion, they will ask you how you do it .

“You are always happy, you have time for everything, you do a thousand things and you always make me laugh … How do you do it?”

Actually, you don’t really know how to answer. Your philosophy of life has been built over time.

Sometimes the free soul arises after being a captive soul, and that is a fact that you never overlook.

Being free is an attitude that requires firmness and perseverance, knowing that, at times, it is necessary to leave certain things behind.
