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 see to. The truth is
that 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 everyday 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 allows for your life to stay on track with what
your spirit wants.
