Understanding Spiritual Wellness
Spiritual wellness includes the mind, body, and soul. It is to bear good fruit in each season of your life. Spiritual wellness connects to prosperity and success. Psalms 1:3 declares that joy is given for those who delight in the laws of the Almighty. Scriptures breathe life – soundness into the mind, transforming the body and soul (emotions). For example, speaking positive words reenforces positive thoughts. It creates empowerment zones within the mindset. On the other hand, if your thoughts are always negative, it consumes, making you “sick.” Hence you will transfer this sickness into other places, i.e., the home, workplace, etc.

Overcoming Barriers to Spiritual Wellness
There are a number of barriers that people face when striving to achieve spiritual wellness. Barriers include busyness, stress, distractions, and fatigue.

For example, for every three hours of busyness, build in ten minutes of downtime or “me time.” That is, for an eight-hour busy day, reward yourself thirty minutes of “me time”. During that time, place yourself in a position of calmness. Allow God to speak to your mindset, deceasing your pressure, and emotionally loving yourself. You are wonderfully created by Him.
