Summary
Highlights
Spiritual wellness involves tending to your spiritual self, seeking meaning and purpose in human existence, and appreciating life experiences. It doesn't have to be religious and helps in developing harmony with your inner self and the outside world, ultimately granting balance.
There are many ways to build spiritual wellness. Suggestions include trying a yoga class, practicing meditation (with strategies like belly breathing and mindfulness), and visiting with a spiritual leader such as an Elder, teacher, or religious leader.
Other practices include writing down three good things that happen each day for a week, trying breathing exercises like "four-by-four" breathing (inhale for four, hold for four, exhale for four), and disconnecting from technology and social media for an evening to be present.
Further suggestions include curating belongings by getting rid of 10 unused items, trying Loving Kindness meditation to send good wishes to others and feel more connected, and watching TED Talks for inspiration.
