You ever wondered why you feel like you are lost ,even when you are aware of your surroundings but you doing something you aren't comfortable and happy about? Do you ever wonder why you feel like you're chained to a spot with no chances of escape from the situation ,even when there are no physical restraints on you? The answers to this question are numerous, it depends on the genesis of the situation.
Pretense is usually a leading factor to this "soul trapping", the moment we start portraying the trait we trully don't posses and engaging in acts that may not correspond with our principles and principles of societal norms around us. we would gradually lose our true selves because, we never feel comfortable to express our true inner feeling while following up our deceptive act. The deeper we go into deception, the deeper we get into the maze of " lost self identity" and the soul gradually grows a circumstantial case of happiness that can only be unlocked with deep sincerity and expression of one's true self.
Limitations in resources could also be another soul crippling cause. When we lack the appropriate resources to implement our plans, educate ourselves and fund our plans we could become incapacitated and helpless in moving on to the next phase of our mapped out plans and when seeking to create another plan, we may never get full satisfaction from it since our true intention was with the first plan. It leads to wasted dreams and unexploited potentials.
A low self esteem could also be associated to a trapped soul, when you are not confident of whom you are and what you can do, you tend to seek contentment of ego by emulating other's actions and involving with people that don't match your principles & true plans, because you feel you can never be good enough to do anything. Alas! We forget that everyone is a unique being.
We may continue to analyse the various cause of this "soul trapping" and we would never end the discussion because it leads us back to our actions and effects of our external environment.
Generally, the soul feels trapped when we are engaged in acts that we are not happy about and willing to be associated with, which may be circumstantial or self induced but all these may still be Categorised as irrelevant if we continue to dwell on it. After all, we own our body and we make decisions ourselves with contribution of our society.
To avoid getting our souls trapped and potentials exploited because we are restricted by life situations, we need to always have a periodic evaluation of our acts and assess if they correspond with our beliefs, values as well as that of the stable society. Whenever we perceive that we are not getting satisfactory results from what we are doing, rather than dwelling in the emotional conflicts of unhappiness and whether to continue, we should refer to our backup plans for probable failures.
Embracing multiple plànning will help in "freeing our souls" . Whenever we are about to decide on a choice to make, we have to carefully analyse the perceived results of the choice and factors that would affect its result and make plans considering each factor in mind while planning to be able to tackle any failure. When our initial plans fail, we would need to be able to transition to alternative plans we have previously made without feeling unsatisfied and inhibited since our mind would have been prepared for probable use of the plan.
When we don't analyse choices to be made and consequences, dissatisfaction can come into play. Even after following all these guidelines, there may still be recorded failure. So, we need to enquire the virtue of optimism and enthusiasm in all that we do. Whenever we want something, we must never give up on it if our periodic analysis shows it is relevant to the contribution of our success.
Engage in socially and religiously acceptable acts that makes you happy while extending a hand of generosity to the needy because it gives a feeling of pride and boost the self eesteem. Always remember that every individual is unque no matter their similarities. Be open minded and ready to learn from everyone and simultaneously know when to ask for human interference with humilty and patience as necessary. Update yourself with current trends and changes in the society, so you will know which one to followvor avoid.
The soul is never trully trapped, all you need to do is to find your true identity and work towards maintaining it and you will find peace
