be more spiritual

I have no time for anything complex right now because I am so busy. But I want to introduce something simple, but fulfilling into my life, like praying every day and meditating every day for a short amount of time. It’s just getting it into routine everyday.

This means more than just appreciating god, it means exploring different spiritual values and ultimatly being unafraid of looking inside myself and focus less on the physical.

I have finally made the decision to start visiting other churches. I did visit one I’m interested in being a part of this past Sunday. I really liked it, but I am going to take this slow and not rush into anything because that is what really has hurt me so much in the first place. (Not hurt as abusively…just as in the non-helpful sense.) I’m thinking that the reason I’ve been kind of depressed for a while is due to not having a home church I feel comfortable in. I felt really good yesterday, it was the first time in (I don’t remember the last time, honestly). I just need to figure out how to break this to the church I have been attending (not very regularly, but still I have identified myself with it). I hate to upset anyone, but spirituality is just as important as any other aspect of life. Just as physical health requires a good doctor, spiritual health requires a good fit with a church family. This goal has been suffering greatly because of a lack of that.

This is about the only forum that I feel comfortable documenting my progress on this goal, so those of you who pray, please add this situation to your list.

I am a muslim girl. I always wanted to be consistent with praying however i haven’t because i’m lazy and my spiritual side is very low at the moment. i have to read more books to improve my knowledge about islam and gain a stronger connection. My goal is to pray 5 times a day within 3 months

Should be going to Student Alpha this week. Should be fun. :)

I want to make Yoga, Meditation and Prayer daily habbits from now on. I feel they’re important in strengthening my body, mind and spirit. It’s so hard to find the time to do these things and time runs out all the time. We have to stop making excuses and procrastinating, seize the day and do the things that we need and want to do. Carpe Diem! ;)

There is no if’s and’s or but’s about it I am a very blessed person. I grew up in a beautiful home is Yorba Linda, where the citys moto is ” The land of gracious living ”. It was gracious! I never saw poverty, was never hungry. My parents paid for my school. I have a family who loves me. I have no disabilities. I even have good luck with things most of the time!

I have so much to be greatful for but only find myself praying in times of trouble. Promising this and that to God if he’ll do me a solid. I even find myself getting bent out of shape over little unfortunate things that happen. There is so much poverty around the world and people who have it much worse off then me. Who gives a shit if my battery dies? I need to be more thankful and less entitled.

I want to be a more spiritual person. I want to be the person God wants me to be, and not the person I want to be because lets face it the person I choose to be isn’t always the best.

So I’ve signed up for a daily devotional blog that I’m going to read daily, or play catch up weekly at least. I will also strive to start and end each day with a prayer. I hope that this will make me more mindful of my blessings and help me to be more grounded.

I want to learn more about different religions and affiliate myself with one confidently. I want to be able to tell others of my beliefs and feel comfortable with them.

I’ve been feeling a little empty inside lately, spiritually. I want to be closer to god in hopes that the emptiness will dissipate. I’m catholic and always will be. However, attending mass on Sunday can be of a struggle. I use to give myself and god excuses of why I didn’t attend mass…haven’t found the right church, priest, distance, language, etc. I always find excuses not to attend church, but now I found a church and a priest that I love. Now it’s just about getting back on that horse…

This is something I wrestle with, as I am not all that good at organised religion. Yet I find it is something I would like to achieve.

Think this one may take some working at and figuring out.
