Developing Spirituality, Even if You’re Not Religious

Those who claim to be “spiritual but not religious” account for over 20% of the United States population, but what does the word spiritual mean? The term spiritual describes that which relates to the human spirit. It goes beyond the material.

Spirituality is about appreciating all aspects of life fully. Most of us have learned to experience the world in a very superficial way. But there is so much more just below the surface.

Spirituality embraces all religions because it recognizes that all of them are different paths to the same destination.

If you’d like to cultivate your spirituality further, consider these ideas:

1. Practice openness.

We tend to judge things by our past experiences. When faced with something new, try to keep an open and non-judgmental mind. 

New opportunities to learn and expand your perspective are all around you. Attaining a higher sense of spirituality requires being open to the possibilities.

2. Learn to listen.

Few people listen. Most of us are merely waiting for our turn to talk. But it’s not just about listening with your ears. It’s about listening with your heart to hear what the world is trying to communicate to you.

3. See the beauty in people, things, and situations.

Part of spirituality involves seeing the truth. There is beauty to be found in nearly everything, and recognizing it is part of recognizing the truth.

When you see the truth, you come to realize there are very few things to worry about.

4. Spend some time in nature.

There are few things more spiritual than sitting in nature with the sun on your face and the breeze pressing against your back. Experience the trees, grass, flowers, and birds.

5. Look for the bigger picture.

The mere act of wondering about the universe and what it all means is an exercise in spirituality. 

Consider your purpose and true meaning to the world. What is the greatest gift you have to give?

6. Spirituality is ultimately about self-discovery.

It can be considered the art and science of discovering who and what you are.

7. Stay focused on the present.

Living in the past or the future isn’t living. One can only live life right now. Part of being spiritual is recognizing that living a positive life today leads to good things tomorrow.

Spend time each day focusing only on the moment you’re currently experiencing.

By focusing on your thoughts, words, and actions today, you have the ultimate amount of control over your life.

8. Love yourself.

If you don’t love yourself, how will you ever feel comfortable enough to present your true self to the world? We’ve all done things the wrong way and come up short numerous times, but it doesn’t define us. It merely describes us in a particular situation at a specific time.

9. Allow yourself to be inspired.

To thoroughly learn about yourself, it’s important to experience new things. Meet new people and read new books. Only by being exposed to everything that interests you can you learn everything there is to know about yourself.

Final Thoughts

If you’ve ever been dissatisfied with your life and thought, “There must be something more,” you’re absolutely right. There’s a whole lot more. Learning about yourself and your place in the world might even be the true meaning of life. But that’s for you to decide and discover.
