How Do You Know If You Need A Soul Mechanic?
Ever wonder if your soul might be overdue for a tune-up?
Life can sometimes feel like driving with the check engine light on—you know something’s not quite right, but you’re not exactly sure what it is or how to fix it.

That’s where a Soul Mechanic comes in. But how do you know if you need one?
Here are some humorous but very real signs that it might be time to call in the experts, along with a few things you might try to do instead (and how those would likely pan out).
1. Your Inner Compass is Spinning Like a Roulette Wheel
You’re constantly searching for direction but can’t seem to find your true north. Instead, you might try meditating until you levitate or consulting your horoscope for answers. How would that work out? You’ll be floating aimlessly or waiting for Mercury to finally get out of retrograde—neither of which will point you in the right direction.
2. You’ve Got the ‘Sunday Scaries’ Every Day of the Week
If the thought of Monday (or any day) makes you break out in a cold sweat, you might try binge-watching motivational TED Talks or power-napping through the dread. But you’ll likely end up more inspired but equally paralyzed—or worse, groggy and still dreading the week (or day) ahead.
3. You’re on Your Third “Passion Project” This Year and Still Feel Unfulfilled
You’ve dabbled in everything from extreme ironing to competitive bird watching, hoping something will stick. Instead, you might try picking up yet another hobby. Unfortunately, your shirts might be crisp and you’ll know a lot about birds, but your soul will still be searching for meaning.
4. Your Inner Critic is Louder Than a Stadium Full of Sports Fans
No matter what you do, that nagging voice won’t stop. To drown it out, you might try blasting positive affirmations or pump-up music. You’ll feel like a cheerleader at your own pep rally, but that critic will still be waiting to tackle you at the first opportunity.
5. You Keep Trying to “Find Yourself” But Keep Losing the Map
You’ve taken solo backpacking trips and read countless self-help books, but the sense of direction you’re looking for keeps slipping away. While the scenery might be stunning and the quotes interesting, you’ll still be lost in the wilderness of your own mind.
6. Your Job Feels Like a Bad Episode of Groundhog Day
Every day is the same: uninspiring and repetitive. You might think switching careers or counting down to retirement will solve it. You’ll end up with a colorful resume and a countdown clock, but no real sense of purpose or joy.
7. Your Relationships Have More Drama Than a Daytime Soap Opera
If your love life feels like a never-ending soap opera, you might think it’s just the way life is. Watching rom-coms for tips isn’t going to cut it either. You’ll end up with a skewed view of reality or an unhealthy dependence on fictional happy endings. (Pro tip: there ARE happy endings in real life, but you need more than watching TV to get you there.)
8. You Feel Like You’re Always ‘On’ But Never Really ‘Connected’
You’re the life of the party but never feel truly connected. You might try socializing more or retreating into a digital detox. Either way, you’ll either become more socially active with no deeper connections or end up more zen but still feeling isolated.
9. You Keep Searching for “The One Thing” That Will Fix Everything
You’ve decluttered your life and gone on juice cleanses, thinking it will solve all your problems. While your closet might be tidy and you’ll feel temporarily healthier, the underlying issues will still be hanging around.
10. You’ve Got a Chronic Case of “Is This All There Is?” Syndrome
You’ve thrown yourself into work, planned exotic vacations, or resigned yourself to “this is life.” You might get a temporary distraction, a great tan, or a resigned attitude—but still no lasting fulfillment.
So, What’s the Solution?
If any of this sounds familiar, it might be time to call in a Soul Mechanic. Sometimes, the answer isn’t in the external changes we make, but in the internal alignment we need. Understanding your soul type is the first step to realigning with your true self and finding that deep sense of fulfillment you’ve been searching for.
