12 Steps to a Better Spiritual Life
- Meditation: Get quiet
and listen to God through your feelings and intuition.
- Prayer: Talk to God
(out loud or in your head) as if you were talking to a close,
personal friend.
- Humility: God is a higher
power. You are a lesser power. You know this. You are humbled
by it.
- Study: Read, write,
learn, listen.
- Simplicity: Slow down.
Experience and appreciate the simple things in life—nature,
music, friends.
- Solitude: Take some
time to be alone and listen to your own inner music. Putter around
your nest.
- Submission: Surrender
everything to God—as you understand God.
- Service: Reach out to
people in need and give of yourself and your resources.
- Confession: Find someone
you can trust and confide your deepest, darkest secrets to them.
Release the shame.
- Worship: Be in awe of
your Higher Power. Bow your head—metaphorically or literally.
Be thankful for the grace that has been freely given to you.
- Celebration: Be grateful!
Raise your hands in joy and celebration. Sing, dance and be merry.
- Guidance: Work with
a mentor who is in constant contact with God.
