Spiritual Wellness - Expanding a sense of purpose and meaning in life.
Spiritual wellness relates to an individual's sense of purpose and life meaning. This is the most personal of all eight dimensions of wellness. Everyone has asked the question, why am I here? Many ask this question, or similar questions, multiple times over a lifetime to ponder a life of significance and life direction.
Along with the other dimensions of wellness, a person's level of spiritual wellness often fluctuates throughout their life. It is normal to experience a variety of emotions along the path to spiritual wellness – both positive (forgiveness, hope, joy, compassion) and negative (doubt, fear, disappointment, discouragement).
Spiritual wellness provides a system of faith, beliefs, values, ethics, morals and guiding principles.
Spiritual well-being gives an individual the power and ability to make decisions and choices with greater ease. Providing a firm foundation during life seasons of chaos and change. Resiliency to survive with grace and inner peace in the midst of adversity. Having a spiritual component in your life aids in healing when suffering with a physical or emotional health challenge.
Finding meaning and purpose is a process that evolves based on unique life circumstances combined with individual experiences. Consider exploring and answering the question; what is my life's meaning and purpose?
