My spiritual side..Part I

Happy Early Wednesday morning to all my ANGELS.  Hope all is well as we enter the middle of the week.  This blog is going to touch on a side of me that I know exists...but am really interested in pursuing more of it.  I'm talking about my spiritual side. 

In the past 10 years...I've dealt with personal losses.  Lost family and friends...and often found myself asking why?  I also questioned my faith...and my spirituality.  In God I do trust...but during the early part of the last 10 years...I tend to fear Him more than I believed in Him.  I oftened wanted the world to stop spinning around just so I could get off. I've come around a lot lately...and ready to take the next steps to finding out more of me and how I tick. 

I've had some conversations with those who I know are "full of it"...spirituality, that is.  And I mean that in a good way.  Here's my quick thinking of how I do this..

Getting in touch with your spiritual side involves examining your strengths and weaknesses with honesty.

This should enable me to develop within, by accepting myself as unique and capable, yet not anxious about my imperfections. It should make me feel comfortable in my own skin.

Spirituality is associated with peace and harmony.

My take…spiritual people tend to be content and happy in the presence of others and comfortable being with themselves.

Someone with a keen spiritual side is able to handle pretty much anything. They draw strength from any situation or event, in their desire for personal success and for growth and development.

The spiritual person is realistic in life yet optimistic. It is important to get the right balance between your hopes and desires and using your skills and abilities as an opportunity to improve yourself.

Planning ahead and being self-disciplined and persistent in what I want to achieve in my life improves self-confidence. This in turn should help me find solutions which should lead success. Avoiding negative thoughts and instead think about what I can do rather than what I cannot do...be positive!

The one that I know must happen...is for me to simply shut up and listen. Be open-minded to what is being said..and see how the words/thoughts can be incorporated into my life.  I will officially begin the quest Saturday, June 12 (thanks MK).  I'm going to embark on a notion and run with it.

Stay tuned.



Peace out my HALEYUNNS!
