Spiritual wellbeing refers to integrating our beliefs and values with our actions. A sense of purpose, direction, and awareness are important. [read more about Spiritual Wellbeing]
The first step in developing values and spiritual wellness is to examine your own values: respect, honesty, human life, family, education, religion, health, wealth, community service, diversity. At its most basic, Spiritual Wellness involves connecting with the bigger picture as you search for meaning and purpose in your life. Concepts including non-judgment, discipline, conscientiousness, selflessness, and other actions that increase our own sense of inner peace as well as peace with the world around us. Spiritual Wellness may involve a connection with a higher power if that is your choice, but believing in a specific set of spiritual principles is not necessary. There are many secular philosophies that approach life from a humanistic perspective, too. A Spiritual Wellness plan may involve prayer, meditation, affirmations, or specific spiritual practices that support your connection to a higher power or belief system. It is important for everyone to explore what they believe is their own sense of meaning and purpose. This is always a very personal journey, although you may decide to become involved with a religious group or spiritual community. Underlying Spiritual Wellness is the idea that meaning and purpose in life give us a firm foundation for taking healthy, helpful action.
