When I first got into recovery, I somehow picked up the idea that the goal of recovery was to become super spiritual. Problem was, I didn't really know what that meant.
I suspected that it had something to do with becoming a perfect human being who was always compassionate and incredibly wise. I no longer aspire to any such state of spiritual perfection.
But I do subscribe to the notion that caring for our spiritual selves is one of the most nurturing things that we can do for ourselves. Perhaps your spiritual self-care is rooted in faith or religious affiliation; perhaps it's a secular pursuit.
Maybe you participate in ceremonial practices and sacred customs that are a part of your culture. There's no wrong way to do spiritual self-care.
Spiritual practice for me is about creating space to reflect on my inner needs and my role or place within the world or universe. It's about practicing and expressing gratitude.
