Spiritual Self-Care Part 6

Spiritual Self-Care is a captivating and freeing adventure to go on. Focusing on beautiful truths is a spectacular and sacred sight to behold.

Visit my previous blog post: Spiritual Self-Care Part 5 to learn how generosity leads to prosperity.
The following is a continuation of choosing spiritual self-care: 

12.    Inspiration
Inspiring thoughts come from dwelling on truth. What inspires your character to grow? Who challenges you to take a step of faith? Who gives you Biblical and balanced advice? Who models a healthy relationship? What gives you a good belly laugh?

“Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.” ~ Philippians 4:8 

Find inspiration through the Bible, balanced mentors, Christ-centered counselors, joyful people, nature and humorous perspectives.


Shoutout to Debra at TrueLoveDates.com for being an inspiring role-model to me and everyone who listens to her podcasts and reads her blogs/books. 

13.    Music
Music provides a rhythm to experiencing a myriad of health benefits such as lowering blood pressure, giving pain relief, strengthening the immune system, and helping premature babies sleep patterns improve. I often provide aphasic patients (people who have lost their speech skills) with melodic intonation therapy, which helps them sing meaningful phrases aloud. Playing a musical instrument may improve motor skills. 

“Sing to Him, sing praise to Him; tell of all His wonderful acts.” ~ Psalm 105:2

What song could you sing to express your story? Whether you are living a story of heartache or happiness, the Bible tells us in Psalm 40:3 that, “He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God.” 

In His Joys,
