Feeding Your Spirit
Taking Time For Yourself
Modern life compels us to rush.
Because we feel pressured to make
the most of our time each day,
the activities that sustain us,
rejuvenate us,
and help us evolve are often
the first to be sacrificed when we
are in a hurry or faced with a new obligation.
It is important we
remember that there is more to life than achieving success, making money, and
even caring for others.
Your spiritual needs should occupy an
important spot on your list of priorities.
Each task you undertake and each
relationship you nurture draws from the wellspring of your spiritual vitality.
Taking the time to engage in spiritually fulfilling
activities replenishes that well and readies
you to face another day. Making
time for the activities that contribute
to your spiritual growth has little
to do with being selfish
and everything to do with your well-being.
Regularly taking the time to focus
on your soul's needs ensures that you are
able to nurture yourself,
spend time with your thoughts, experience !
tranquility, and expand your spiritual boundaries.
It is easy to avoid using our free moments for spiritual
enrichment. There is always something
seemingly more pressing that needs to be
done. Many people feel guilty
when they use their free time to engage in
pursuits where they are focusing on themselves because they feel as if they are neglecting
their family or their work.
To make time for yourself,
it may be necessary to say no
to people's requests or refuse to take
on extra responsibilities.
Scheduling fifteen or thirty minutes of time
each day for your spiritual needs can make you feel tranquil, give you more energy
and allows you to feel more in touch with the universe.
Writing in a journal, meditating, studying the words of wise women and men, and engaging
in other spiritual practices can help you make
the most of this time.
Making time to nurture your spirit may require that you sacrifice other, less vital activities.
The more time you commit to soul-
nurturing activities, the happier
and more relaxed you will become. The time
you devote to enriching your spirit
will rejuvenate you and help you
create a more restful life.
