Daily Maintenance and Spirituality

Daily Maintenance of the spiritual pursuit.

Spirituality can be a huge factor in the recovery process. I have found that spirituality is embedded in some of my mental health challenges. Lack of daily maintenance toward my spiritual pursuits can really cause me to have some challenges to my emotional wellbeing. I have met many inspiring people that have a deep practice of gratitude. In my daily life I am attempting to be more mindful of those things that are good in my life. This includes such basic endeavors as eating slower and eating less. Practicing daily meditations and trying to quiet the storm of thoughts and motivations in my mind. I have also been incorporating prayers from a book called Earth Prayers by Elizabeth Roberts and Elias Amidon. It is enriching to try approaching spirituality from diverse perspectives. I also have to say that a book that has helped me look at all spiritual perspectives as a unified force rather than as divergent paths is the works by the Persian Mystic Jelaluddin Rumi one book the Illuminated Rumi and its sequel One Song offers a rich spiritual devotion to love and creation and unifies the faiths.

More on this next time,

Take good care,
