Spirituality is considered the disconnection from the activities we undertake on a daily basis, and why not, to have an otherworldly experience one should indeed indulge in something extraordinary as well, right? Not quite. In fact, although the experience itself can be spiritually elevating, what is required to attain that state is just a bit of tweaking to your everyday activities such as driving to work or going to the dentist.
In fact, we think you must make adjustments to the following aspects of your life in order to live a more spiritually fulfilling lifestyle, because meditating for only 15 minutes in an entire day is simply not enough to maintain a spiritually healthy self.
Get Intimate
Intimacy is of two kinds: good and bad. Good intimacy is one that results in a spiritually healing experience, while bad intimacy does otherwise. How can you tell the difference? Well, it’s a bit complicated, but the clarity about the nature of intimacy comes right at the beginning of the encounter.
It all depends on how it feels. If it feels spiritually fulfilling, and you will know if it does, then go for it. If not, then you need to stop it right there before causing harm to your spiritual self.
Another thing about intimacy: you MUST let go of your preconceived notions about what is allowed in intimacy and what is disallowed. Realize that you can have an intimate relationship with any adult regardless of the social boundaries which have been placed to limit you to a very specific pool of people.
Your Emotional Connections
Tread on this path with utmost care as you may find yourself feeling emotionally drained afterwards. That’s because we think you need to start asking people close to you, such as your friends, family, and even work colleagues, questions which will help you discover them on a deeper level.
More often than not, they will invest in the conversation more than ever before, strengthening the connection you have with them. While this happens, we need you to monitor your own feelings as well: is a certain person making you feel a certain way?
Is it a good feeling or a bad feeling? Do your thoughts become more clogged after you converse with them? If the answer to all these questions in the negative, then you need to readjust your social circle, spend time with people who take away the weight, not pile it on.
The Impact of Social Media
Here is a pro-tip: social media fame is not achieved by portraying what you think people want to see. It is earned by portraying the real you, the one who is authentic and pure in online representation of the offline world.
This will not only make it much easier for you to produce content for your online pages, but also allow you the happiness of interacting with people who like you for who you are, not who you pretend to be on the internet.
Also, when surfing social media, we want you to do a little exercise: delete all those people from your newsfeed who trigger feelings of jealousy within your heart. Have faith, this will make your online experience much more peaceful.
How to Deal with Money
It may seem like you are making more money than you deserve, especially if you are a spiritual person. This is because you may have drawn a parallel within your mind between money and greed. The two are not synonymous. Greed is the desire to have more and more even when you have more than enough, while earning as compensation for the hard work you have put in is completely justified.
So, here is what we want you to do:
When that next pay check comes your way, hold it in your hands right in front of your face and repeat this line three times: I earned this and I am thankful. This will make you more comfortable with the money you have, allowing you the peace of mind to spend it as you wish.
What to Wear
Your clothes reflect who you are to the world. If you wish to become more spiritual, then you need to start wearing clothes which speak to you.
This means embracing an inner sense of style, which will only come when you disregard mainstream fashion trends. It’s perfectly fine if a long skirt with a t-shirt is your calling. What is important is that you feel absolutely comfortable in what you choose to wear.
