Spirituality is not special or difficult. You can be spiritual in your daily life. In fact, if you are a truly spiritual person, your spirituality must be everywhere in every moment of your life. Anything you do in your life can be spiritual or spiritually influenced. Here we select some examples of everyday spirituality in your life.
1. Forgive yourself
When things went wrong, you may blame yourself. You’ll blame yourself like you can’t forgive yourself. You may think that everything went wrong because of you. You may think you could do much better. You may think you should have done better.
First of all, if you think this way, you are a good and spiritual person. If you tend to blame yourself, you are doing much better than just blaming someone else. You won’t hurt anyone but yourself.
So why do you have to hurt yourself?
If you keep blaming yourself, do you think you can improve the situation?
I do not think so!
Sometimes things go wrong for no reason! A done deal is a done deal. Let’s go!
Stop blaming yourself. Try to forgive yourself. Then she tries again. Trying again means that you will analyze what you did without feeling guilty. This is an improvement, isn’t it? Just try to make it work next time, that’s all.
Positive thinking and “never give up” policy without hurting anyone. Does this sound like something spiritual?
2. Little happiness and joy
If you find happiness in something small like a flower in a field, you are spiritual. If you feel lucky because you can eat three times a day, you are truly spiritual.
A spiritual person always lives peacefully with infinite happiness and appreciation in everyday life without materialistic desires. When you free yourself from materialism, you will look for something non-materialistic and very simple. So, you will find infinite and “priceless” peace and happiness in very small things, normal things and simple things. Spirituality will make your life beautiful, simple and enjoyable.
In fact, if you think that all spiritual people will always be calm and calm, then you are mistaken. Truly spiritual people will feel a more “vivid” joy in their life. They will laugh and smile more as they can feel more happiness and joy. They will cry as they may feel more beauty or sadness. However, they will not be very depressed due to spiritually amplified happiness, joy, and sense of beauty.
3. Smiles and thanks
Spirituality can be physically advanced. For example, making smiles will make you feel better when you’re feeling down, sad, or depressed. Smiling is a good thing because it will not only make you feel better, but it will also make other people feel better. Your smiles will make other people smile!
Try to smile three times a day. For example, when you wake up, you go to the bathroom and look in a mirror. So smile to yourself. You will be surprised that your breakfast tastes better! Before lunch, you smile again and you can enjoy your lunch more! Before going to sleep, smile again and you will sleep better!
Verbal expressions will also advance your spirituality. For example, try saying “Thank you and I appreciate it” when you can say the opposite expression. When you forgo going out for a fancy dinner because of heavy snow, you’ll say, “Thank you and I appreciate it,” because you’ll be staying home and dining safely instead of risking a car accident driving in this snow. When you missed a bus to go home, you will say the same because you would see a beautiful sunset at the bus stop.
“Thank you and appreciate” is one of the most spiritual verbal expressions because this is an expression of the fundamental rule of our life. The rule is that we are all allowed to be alive for another life. No one can live without oneself. Even if you are completely alone, you will still need food that is, in fact, part of another life.
“Thank you and appreciate” will make your life better and let you know how lucky you are. At the same time, this is an expression to make other people happy because they will know that they are doing something good for you. Eventually, they will be able to express their appreciation towards you and other people.
Try to express your thanks three times a day. For example, you can express your appreciation when your partner makes breakfast with a hot cup of coffee. When you eat breakfast and go to work, you will express your appreciation for having a job to support your family. When you get in your car and drive to your place of work, you will be expressing your appreciation for having a car that allows you to get to work with ease. You will have so many appreciations a day and this means that you are a really lucky person.
4. Savings
When you are spiritual, you will recognize not only spiritual delight and fulfillment, but also financial stability in your life. Why does financial stability come in here? Because, as long as you live in your normal life, you will not be able to escape from the monetary needs. If you are seeking too much money or saving money by making yourself and your family members miserable, you are trapped in materialistic desire. However, if you know you have enough money to spend, you can forget about the “money” in your life. Therefore, you will be freed from materialistic desires.
Let’s talk about the relationship between spirituality and savings. If you start living spiritually, you will select the right foods for the right amount. You will respect food since you are receiving another life to make you live. You won’t waste your food. You will not buy too much food and other unhealthy foods, especially junk food. You’ll also save money with less or no alcohol and tobacco use.
Now, if you eat the right foods in the right amount, you’ll be healthier. You will not consume too much alcohol and tobacco so you will definitely be healthier. If you are healthy, you will save money on your medical expenses. Spiritual advancement will be much easier if you are in good physical health.
5. The happiness of the couple
You can make your partner happy when you can see things from your partner’s point of view! It is very important to know that making your partner happy means making yourself happy after all. This is a very good example of mutual trust without mutual expectations between you and your partner.
By making your partner happy, your partner will find awareness in you and in himself. Such awareness will lead to unconditional motivation for your partner to show you their awareness. When your partner begins to make you happy, you and your partner begin to feel spiritual connections that satisfy both consciousnesses. This is the win-win relationship and even better since such a relationship is made not for materialistic interests but for the beauty of one’s own consciences.
