Spiritual Well-Being

The process of creating and discovering meaning and purpose in life.  This also involves demonstrating our values through words, actions and behaviors. 

Ask yourself, do you “walk the walk”, or simply “talk the talk?” 

We can develop our spirituality in many ways:

• Walk with your Higher Power out in nature.
• Experience a different viewpoint: go with a friend to their church, synagogue or temple.
• Volunteer to help a charitable group… there are lots of area agencies that can use your help!
• Participate in a religious service of your choice.
• Pray or meditate.
• Journal.
• Learn about all different faiths, not only the one you subscribe to.
• Be tolerant of other religions and practices (especially in today’s emotionally charged climate of religious wars and hate crimes).
• Observe the Golden Rule: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
• "Pay it Forward"... do three good things today without expecting any payback.  If someone tries to repay you, ask them to "Pay it forward."
• Be a good role model.  It is said that the best way a man can teach his children to be a good person is to love his wife.
