Have you made several, unsuccessful efforts to achieve spiritual wellness? You can probably relate to how difficult it can be to achieve. Spiritual wellness takes effort and introspection.
There’s indeed a road you can take that leads to spiritual wellness. The journey may be long, rough, and trying, but it's achievable.
Review this helpful guide for building a foundation of spiritual wellness. While you may want to adopt one element at a time, you'll be better off attempting a full transformation. It's not as uplifting when you try to achieve spiritual wellness from one angle. Many conflicts may arise, which could land you right back at square one.
Try the following all-inclusive approach to building spiritual wellness:
1. Spend time alone for meditation, prayer, and Bible study. In order to get closer to Yahweh, you have to spend time in his presence. Prayer is the perfect medium for connecting to God. It is important to maintain that connection so you remain in tune with your spiritual beliefs. It's also a great way to help focus on the present.
- Spending too much time focusing on what happened in the past can affect inner peace. Painful occurrences or disappointments can be discouraging. Train yourself to look at what's right in front of you.
- Focusing on the present also keeps you from worrying about the future. Uncertainty looms every day, everywhere. But dwelling on the "what ifs" could result in you missing out on great opportunities in front of you.
2. Make value-guided decisions. Living a life in tune with your values is the best way to be true to yourself. In turn, this trueness allows your spiritual life to flourish. Having spiritual wellness also means you can make yourself available to help others.
- What do you value? Is it honesty and truth? Is it charity?
- Whatever values are responsible for your spiritual composition should always be consulted. Make your decisions based on what you know sits well with your spirit.
3. Connect with the meaning of situations. Everything happens for a reason! As cliché as it sounds, it's the most accurate explanation for life. What you do with the information presented is another matter.
- You may not like a situation or even understand it. But instead of reacting, take the time to connect with the deeper meaning.
- It's important to understand that not everything is built in your favor. Occupying a world with 7 billion other people should allow you to recognize that balance is for all. When you acknowledge that, you can come to terms with situations more easily.
4. Listen to the viewpoints of others. Now understand this, listening to someone else's point of view does not mean you have to accept it. It's ok to agree to disagree
The road to spiritual wellness is long and complicated, but quite fulfilling! There is a deeper level of peace and understanding to be gained when you travel that road. Experience the journey and see what it feels like to truly accept yourself.
Stay connected with God and who you are on the inside. Allow that connection to dictate your thoughts, words, and actions. With that approach, you are sure to gain the joyful peace of spiritual wellness.
