Have you ever wondered what it feels like to cultivate a better relationship with God and yourself? Do you feel that there is a deep abyss inside you that cannot be conquered by things in this material world? Are you having doubts about the way you are living your life and finding your purpose? Perhaps what you need is to nurture and develop your spirituality.
In the broadest sense, spirituality refers to the sense of connection to a particular thing that is so much larger than you. This doesn’t focus on how you socialize or how intelligent you are. Instead, it centers on the acknowledgement of an emotion or principle that there is another thing bigger than you, which may transcend the human physical experiences. It could refer to the feeling that there is a broader whole that you are a member of, which could be divine or heavenly.
So, if you want to look back on your past decisions and desire to aim for spiritual growth — then here are the essential tips that you might want to consider doing.
Take time to reflect
Personal reflection is crucial. However, many tend to take this activity for granted. Everyone is too busy to hustle and bustle that they often overlooked the value of reflection. While you are reflecting on your past actions and future goals, you can also look for the more profound meaning of things and explore your spiritual core. You may ask yourself questions that often puzzle you and perhaps evaluate why and where those came from. The moment that you identify the root of your problems, and then it is also the time that you can recognize your mistakes, acknowledge your strengths, and realign your goals.
If you want to know more about spirituality, its importance, impact, and such, then you can read books and other materials that revolve around it. The book about poems with spiritual advice by Alvina Platt Gregory is one of the best books that can guide you on your reflection journey.
Explore new things
There are people who tend to lose their sense of purpose because of doing the same thing every day. If you are one of these individuals, then you might want to start exploring new things to uplift your spirit and ignite some inspiration. This could bring so much difference on your spiritual health because you are offering yourself brand-new things and experiences that may give light to your questions and doubts. Thus, you could try meeting new people, trying another craft, going places, and other activities or things that can make you happier and look forward to better days. You will never know how big of an impact this could bring to the development of your spirituality.
Refresh your mind
The mind is a powerful yet vulnerable asset of a person. It helps everyone think, decide, move, and more. Basically, you couldn’t survive without it because you will be like a computer without a control processing unit. There are times that your mind becomes too polluted with bothering and negative thoughts. Oftentimes you cannot sleep well at night or function well on days because of those thoughts and flashbacks. It can decrease your confidence, lose your spirits, and make you less enthusiastic about everything. But when you decide to take a quick breather to refresh your mind, you can be more powerful than those traumatic experiences and negative bubbles in your head. All those doubts and fear will surely be gone, making you more motivated and high-spirited to face each day with a head held high.
Use affirmations daily
On times that you are on your lowest and on moments that you are on your highest, using affirmations is definitely a game changer. By simply saying “I am love,” “I am beautiful,” “I am strong and kind,” “I am capable,” and more, you will see develop a more positive mindset that can radiate all throughout your day. Your once down spirit will be lifted up pushing you to conquer the day with a refreshed mind and happy heart. Through affirmations, you can also increase your motivations, focus on your goals, and influence other people.
