Can Spirituality Make You Happy?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What does it mean to be spiritual? For some it’s a visit to a house of worship. For others it’s a visit to a snow-covered forest. Whatever your beliefs, feeling connected to others or to something larger than yourself is good for you. People who say they’re spiritual are generally happier, healthier and often live longer than those without a spiritual connection.

Find what spirtuality means to you, and focus on creating more of it in your life. Here’s how musician Sting describes his connection to spirituality: “There are many ways to reconnect with the world of the spirit, not just through...church or praying; you can reconnect through music or through the woman or man you love. These are my roots to the sacred.”


Tip of the Month
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
How To Create More Spirituality in Your Life:

1. Ask yourself, “What gives me a sense of calm and inner peace; or a sense of meaning and purpose?”

2. Make time for these activities. They may include: a walk in nature, time spent with family, prayer, meditation, enoying art or music, yoga, religious activities or helping others in need.
