Your Spirituality is Linked to Health
Spirituality and it’s effects on health is empirical. In my experience and those of my colleagues, spirituality has played a major role in the effects ascribed to different contexts in an individuals search for meaning and purpose in life. This blog was developed to provide a consequential framework into certain rules, guidelines or practices to be spiritual not so much religious or some combination thereof but that it all affects the state of physical, mental, and social well-being. Moreover, contrary to popular analogy, religion provides physical health benefits indirectly because your spirituality is linked to your health.
The ideal of spirituality or those who profess to embrace both religious and spiritual prowess appears to have a positive attribution to one’s lifestyle. It is believed sanctuary attendance increases life expectancy moreso than those who do not attend church service. One of the reasons is, a religious community provides support to ease through a stressful life event such as divorce, death, or illness. From experience, the existence of religious support not given in a secular environment clears a pathway to positive mental health growth to ease life’s struggles.
Accordingly, millions of adults in the United States suffer from anxiety disorders. It’s treatable and can be controlled but if you exercise your spirituality using whatever ignites your faith will reduce anxiety so you can heal faster. As we know anxiety can take a toll on physical health in addition to your mental state. Perhaps you don’t know what’s at the root of your problems; worrying and stressing over it can overwhelm the spirit causing depression, and physical pain. So maintaining a positive mental state is the best thing you can do for your health.
Additionally, the link between religion and mental health is a guiding framework that provides routes of potential security, significance, and value associated with positive adjustment. Moreover, religion provides coping skills to deal with stressors that directly or indirectly speaks to ones ability to find meaning, strength, and inner peace. If you believe your past life is hurting your present, be a candidate for regression therapy; check your mental state, uncover your past self, confront it, and move on using the light that keeps you going. Because spirituality and health are intertwined in predicting levels of positive and negative psychological outcomes.
Hence, the relationship between thinking about the meaning of life and life’s satisfaction for individuals moderately or not can be positively or negatively interpreted with the role of God and faith in life. Ultimately, when you learn to love yourself, it prompts you to care for your spiritual health and cultivate the magnificence of gaining new perspectives on ones circumstances. We know it’s no secret that life is difficult at times. However, Galatians 6:2 teaches that we should lift each other. Attending church maintains and builds your spiritual life and whether you attend or not is your choice. But there is a definitive link because purpose is not only a bridge to our spiritual side, it’s what created our entire nature to begin with. What greater evidence of God is there than the fact that your unique talent, gifts, strengths, and even your physical body was created exactly as it needs to be in order for you to best live and fulfill your purpose? Purpose and happiness do drive better health outcomes. Moreover, spirituality is integral to measure a context of support mechanisms and practices that encourage healthy behaviors and allows a communication with your soul that shift one’s thoughts from negative to positive to increase self-esteem and resonate a happy place.
