In a world where
we have routines to get everything done, we rarely have a routine for our
spiritual self. In a world where we have routines for
nearly everything — our route to work, our physical fitness regimen, and our
weekday schedule — it’s amazing how many people forget to create a routine
for meeting their spiritual needs. We run around in an attempt to be at our
many appointments on time and meet our many obligations. In our efforts to be
as productive as possible, however, our spiritual needs tend to take a
backseat. After all, taking care of our spiritual needs doesn’t directly pay
the bills or tone our abdominal muscles. We may even wonder who has time to
meditate or write in their journal when there are more pressing matters to
do. The truth is, nurturing ourselves spiritually is what gives us the energy
and grounding that we need to make sure that our lives stay on track. How you choose to nurture yourself
spiritually is a personal choice. For some people, meditating once a day may
be what they need to stay centered. While spending 10-20 minutes with your
eyes closed and your brain devoid of thought may seem like a lot of time
doing nothing, this state of nothingness actually allows you to stay calm and
focused, so you can be as productive as possible. Writing in your journal
every day lets you stay in touch with yourself so that you are always tuned
in to your feelings. Repeating affirmations for success, happiness, and
well-being on a regular basis can help you live with optimism and enthusiasm,
and create what you want in life. Having a routine for nurturing your spirit
that you do each day lets you feed energy to your soul and can serve you well
if your life suddenly takes an unexpected turn into a difficult period. This
kind of routine grounds your spirit in your body so that you stay anchored in
yourself as you move through each day. Nurturing yourself spiritually allows
you to not only stay on track in your life, but it also allows for your life
to stay on track with what your spirit wants. |
