Spiritual Wellness



Spiritual Wellness (Spirit) means something different for each of us. For some it will be tied into a religion, for others it is more about their role on this earth. Stephen Covey tells us that as humans we all have a need to leave our legacy.  I agree and believe that this ties into spiritual wellness; passing on to others your beliefs, values and dare I say wisdom.  This “passing”  may happen through your family, work, community, or group (it can be done in more than one place). In other words; knowing that you have left something of value behind when you leave this earth.

 Whatever spiritual wellness means to you,  it all starts with an understanding of your values and beliefs.

  • I feel that my life has a positive purpose.
  • I have a consistency between my beliefs, values and behaviors.
  • I make time for relaxation in my day (thought, prayer, meditation).
  • I am accepting of the views of others.
  • I integrate my "spiritual practice" within everyday life of work, family and relationships.
  • I appreciate the individual uniqueness, diversity and need for connectedness among all people.
