SPIRITUAL HEALTH & ALTRUISM: THE POWER OF CONNECTIONS

Sunday, May 28, 2023

Recognizing that we are all part of a greater system and that we have responsibilities to and for others is a key part of spiritual growth and development. Volunteering your time and energy is a great way to connect with others and help make the world a better place while improving your own health. 

It's difficult to define spirituality. Even though it is a part of the shared human experience, it is very subjective. Some people define spirituality as a person's feeling of meaning and purpose in life that goes beyond material things. Some people could view spirituality as a personal journey for insight into life, purpose, and connection to the transcendent or sacred. Whatever spirituality means to you, it is crucial for your general wellbeing. Altruism, meaningful life purpose, relationships, and values are all incorporated within spirituality.

As much effort goes into improving your spiritual side as your physical fitness or diet.  By opening your head, tuning in, and extending out, you are training your body in well-being.

Spirituality

RELATIONSHIPS

A spiritually healthy relationship is a hallmark of a healthy relationship.  We exhibit our spiritual health when we treat ourselves and other people with respect, honesty, integrity, and love. 

VALUES

Our personal values are our beliefs; they are not only the things we claim to care about; they are also the things that influence how we behave.  A robust personal values system is a sign of spiritual health.

MEANINGFUL PURPOSE IN LIFE

People who are spiritually healthy are able to articulate their purpose, and to make choices that manifest that purpose. 

ALTRUISM

A vital component of a lifestyle that is spiritually healthy is giving of oneself out of a sincere care for others. You can serve others and improve your own spiritual health by volunteering your time, working for a nonprofit organization, or donating money, time, or other resources to a cause that is dear to you.
