How to Stay Spiritual When Life Sucks
Let’s be honest, life isn’t always sunshine and roses. It’s hard to stay positive and maintain a sense of spirituality when it feels like the world is against you. However, that’s precisely when you need to stand firm in your faith and believe that, as my brother tells me, the hardships aren’t happening to you; they’re happening for you.
Going through a divorce, moving to another state, crushing my leg, having surgery that benched me for weeks, trying to build financial stability during it all, and not having any idea what I’m doing, I have to believe that the Universe has a plan. It’s clearing space for something more fulfilling and rewarding. Here are some tips for how to stay spiritual when life sucks.
Practice Self Care
Feeling low makes it easy to let self-care fall by the wayside. You might hesitate to get dressed in the morning or forego combing your hair or brushing your teeth. You might skip meals or neglect to exercise. However, it’s important to remember that taking care of yourself is not a luxury — it’s a necessity.
When you make yourself a priority, you send a message to your subconscious and to the Universe that you are worthy of time and attention. Taking care of your physical needs can help boost your mood and improve your mental well-being.
