Meeting Your Needs Can Be a Spiritual Experience

20 October 2008 106 views 3 Comments

This month’s Personal Renewal Group call focused on the Transformative Power of Self-Care. One of the areas of self-care is our spiritual needs. So many families are moving away from organized religion. With or without an organized religious community, it can be easy for moms to neglect their spiritual needs. Here are some great ideas from “The Mother’s Guide to Self-Renewal” to get back in-touch with that part of yourself again…

Take time to be by yourself to think or write
Take a walk in a park or out in nature
Meditate, pray or just reflect on what you’re grateful for
Do something creative: paint/draw/write/dance/sing.
Volunteer for a cause you’re passionate about.

What do you do to nurture your spirituality? Does religion play a part for you?

Raelee - I get up about 1/2 an hour earlier than the kids and many mornings take my coffee out to the deck and listen while the birds wake up the neighborhood. Now that it’s getting colder, I find the hot coffee and the brisk temps a great way to ease into the day.

I also make sure to take time for myself to think and write - usually after the kids have gone to bed.

I also have a selection of music that inspires me on a mix CD that I made and when I’m stressed, I pop that baby in the CD player and just soak it in.

Being of the male persuasion I’m not a mom so maybe shouldn’t comment here.

My major way of connecting with spirit when by myself is journalling. When with others connecting to what is at the core of who we are.

Like Evan, I am a male. And not a mom, obviously. Though I have often said that my mom is the most important woman in my life. I’m not a momma’s boy, (LOL) but I definitely admire and respect everything she has done for me in my life. On that note, I respect and admire the way in which she has always taken care of herself to assure she is there to take care of others…not just my brother and I, but so many others.
