Time is irrelevant in your spiritual journey. The steps you take are pivotal in unfolding your inner truth, even when you are doing a back and forth dance with your shadow work and internal struggles. Remember, all is for learning, and learning is a lifelong process.
You can set goals for yourself while on your journey towards spiritual growth and enlightenment. It's essential to be realistic and compassionate with your goals and see them as part of your process, which is unique to you. Please don't compare yourself to others in their journey as they have their lessons to learn and grow from and towards understanding.
Start with Practicing Self-Care
Whatever type of self-care practice works best for you, start doing it more often and more regularly. Self-care is the key to keeping you balanced and grounded, and that is precisely what you need to be when you are on your journey for spiritual growth. Please make a list of the things you do that help rejuvenate you, including the basic things we need to maintain our physical and mental health. Self-care includes the bare essentials such as eating healthy, a form of exercise that works for your body, and relaxation.
Meditation
Many forms of meditation can help you in your daily life and spiritual growth. The more you practice them and even try out different types, the more in tune you will become with the Universe and your guides. Meditation helps us center our bodies and clear our minds after the process. During the meditation process, allow yourself to be mindfully aware of what is happening around you and the thoughts within you. This awareness will help you release negative thoughts and patterns more readily and consciously in your waking life.
Contemplation
Most people forget to take time just to sit and be with themselves for a while. In our modern times, we view contemplation as laziness or "doing nothing." Believe it or not, doing nothing is essential for our health and wellbeing. It gives us time for our minds and body to relax outside of our regular grind and consider our actions and behaviors. It allows us to sit with our emotions and feelings and consider alternative perspectives and solutions to our problems that sometimes feel overwhelming or impossible to resolve. The best part is that contemplation can just be as simple as taking a half-hour to sit and savor a cup of coffee or tea. It doesn't have to be fancy.
Set and Maintain Healthy Boundaries
Boundaries are the key to reducing stress in our lives. They are also crucial in your spiritual journey, as knowing and understanding them can help you know when to set them, maintain them, or even expand on them for spiritual growth. Take time to understand where stress comes from in your life because, more than likely, that stress is due to a broken boundary. Tune into that energy and see how to mend and maintain that boundary, and that will help you in your spiritual path. Healthy boundaries help you understand that everyone is on their spiritual journey and not judge or take other people's behavior personally, even when directed at you.
Forgiving and Letting Go
Sometimes the person we need to forgive the most in our lives is ourselves. This can be the most challenging part of our spiritual journey as sometimes we will be our own worst critics. The key is recognizing that we are not perfect beings but beings that experience lessons to grow. We can sometimes make mistakes, have poor judgment, and be duped by others. Forgiving ourselves for our role in any situation can also help us forgive others.
Ask for Guidance
There is nothing wrong with reaching out to others for help and guidance on your spiritual journey. Psychics often mentor other psychics and share their insights along their journey. Psychics also help anyone on a spiritual path with any advice they may need. If you're looking at how to start your spiritual journey, speak with a psychic for guidance on how to take your first steps today.
