Your Journey To Spiritual Growth

By Andrew Murphy


Spirituality is essential in life. When you have something to believe in and focus towards, you will find that it can reduce much of your stress and anxious thoughts. People often talk to friends and family members, but it is important to get to know yourself as well, and you need to give yourself time to focus on the spiritual growth where you are able to reach this goal in your life.

Everyone needs someone to believe in. You may be putting your spouse first. You may rely on your parents or think the world of your children. However, these are people, and relationships don't last forever. Unfortunately, there is divorce, death and destruction that crosses paths. Where spirituality is concerned, you can be certain that you are not going to be abandoned.

You will begin to feel a great sense of freedom as you start this journey. However, you have to realize that it does take time. In fact, there is something new that you learn about yourself all the time. This is something that you are always learning about and it will never end. You begin to feel that you are less alone and there is a definite presence with you on a daily basis.

It obviously takes a lot of work as you start to grow. Sometimes you may feel discouraged because you feel as though you are not getting anywhere. However, there are a lot of resources available. These are available online as well as offline. They come in the form of books as well as blogs and online magazines which can be very motivating.

Of course, it is not always easy to know where to begin when you have not meditated before. However, it does not mean that you have sit on the floor and start to chant. There are many ways in which you can connect with someone else. For example, a lot of people decide to take a walk out in nature. It can be a good idea to take a walk after work or early in the morning.

You will start to feel a lot better about your life, especially as you feel a sense of joy developing. In the beginning it may be necessary to keep a journal. You will then be able to look back after some time because this will tell you how far you have come in your journey.

People who are going through a bout of depression often feel comforted when they are more spiritual. It is something that you are comforted by. You have something in life that you know that you can turn to. Once you have meditated or spent quiet time by yourself, you feel a great sense of peace and tranquillity come over your emotions.

Take time going for a walk by yourself. Your mind will start to drift away and think about various things. It is a good idea to go for a walk in nature after work. This will clear your head and it can be so relaxing. It can be so inspiring. This is a form of meditation as well. You don't necessarily have to be sitting down with your eyes closed.
