Powerful Ways to Nurture Your Spirit

 

Spiritual nurturing is the practice of taking care of your spirit to give you a sense of purpose and meaning, and helps you feel fully alive and connected. Spiritual activities can encourage mental, emotional, and physical well-being, and helps build self-esteem and self-confidence. 

Nurturing your spirit is not a "one size fits all" experience. It varies in what it looks and feels like from one person to the next. With this in mind, consider what nurturing your spirit looks like for you. Engage in those things that resonate with you.

Here are powerful ways to nurture 

your spirit: 

1. Care for your Physical Self. Caring for your physical wellbeing can be a spiritual practice, when it helps you give your physical body and mind tender loving care (TLC). 

When you care for your body by eating healthy foods,  and getting adequate sleep and exercise, you create the energy you need to get closer to realizing your purpose in life.

 2. Practice Gratitude. Make a daily list of those things you are Grateful for. For ideas see Top Reasons to Practice Gratitude with Tips to Help You Do It.

3. Reflect Through Journaling. Journal Writing helps to mirror and comfort the mind, open the heart, and reconnect with Spirit.

4. Explore Meditation, Prayer, Yoga, or other Mindfulness Practices. Any activity that draws your focus inward may help you approach daily living with a calmer presence, clearer mind, and open heart.

5. Read Something Inspirational. When you focus on positive thoughts including quotations, affirmations, motivational articles and books, blog posts, newsletters, etc. you train yourself to look for the good.

6. Commune with Nature. Glancing outside or being outdoors and immersed in nature can be a wonderful spiritual experience. For tips read Improve Health Spend Quality Time in Nature.

7. Eat wisely. Eat meals on a consistent basis and choose high nutrient foods that are low fat and low sugar. Note which foods improve your mood.

8. Laugh and Play. Laughing and having fun is good medicine. Take breaks from work to watch a funny movie, read a humorous book, or spend time with your pet or someone who makes you laugh.

9. Clean and organize. Even the simplest of tasks like tidying up your physical environment can be a spiritual practice. 

A neat, uncluttered living and working space encourages concentration and improves your mental outlook.

10. Connect With Others. Social connections can help you feel loved, cared for, and valued, which can improve mood, reduce stress, and help you feel less alone. 

Try to focus on what's good in yourself and others. Notice the sacred in and around you. Sure, there's plenty of bad stuff, yet you'll find joy and contentment in relationships by being optimistic and open to abundance.
