Spiritual Care

This season of the Cultivation Podcast is about how we can invest in and rejuvenate ourselves via self-care. So far, we've talked about our psychology, work, and emotions but we need to look at our whole being, not just one aspect.    This includes spirituality. Spirituality is a sense of perspective beyond our day to day life. It's about recognizing life isn't just about the day to day grind, there's another plane and realm. Personally, my spirituality is my faith that Jesus Christ is the son of God and he died to remove the barrier of sin from God.    Spirituality is a key component to who we are as a person — our purpose is to impact other people and we can't step into that purpose if we ignore the spiritual side of our being.   Below are action steps on building spiritual care in your life:    Reflect — In Western society's rat race, we need that silence and time to reflect. That means prayer, meditation, journaling, or enjoying nature. It works best when you do these regularly. Growth — Challenge yourself by reading/listening to scriptures daily to learn and studying sermons to get a different perspective. Getting the same views and lessons only stagnates growth. Go to Church — There is something powerful about being in a live experience. We're built for community and so is our spirit. Soaking up that energy and atmosphere is super important to feeding our spirit. Be in Nature — Look at the majesty of creation. Taking adventures like hikes and camping are fun, but doing something new creates an awakening. Being in nature can awaken your spiritual being. Honor Others Spirituality — Honoring the spiritual being of others can form a connection. Experience other people's creativity and spirit. Share the spirituality of another person.  Have Conversations — Schedule time to have conversations with others about spirituality. Recognize spirituality is who you are, so share that journey with a community.
