Stress Management 101 Tip for the day - Spirituality

Spiritual wellness is the connection that one has with a higher power. Those ideas and principles that gives life meaning, purpose and direction. It involves actions and behaviors that are selfless rather than selfish. It is expressed through acts of compassion and service, quietness and stillness, mindfulness and thoughtfulness. Spirituality precedes spiritual wellness because one needs to have the spiritual connection in order to engage in spiritual wellness. How does this relate to stress management? Spirituality as a tool for stress management is effective in helping one achieve balance in the mind-body awareness. Prayer and meditation are a few ways which one can practice spirituality. Doing these daily is recommended for both optimal wellness and stress reduction. Works for me. Think about it. What works for you? Let me know what you think! Ruthy
