8 Steps to Ageing Gracefully

Recommendations for enhancing spiritual health and wellbeing.

. Pay attention to your breath. Many cultures identify breath with spirit, seeing the breath cycle as the movement of spirit in the physical body.
. Connect with nature. You can do this by walking or sitting in a natural setting. Allow yourself to slow down, drop your usual routines, and just absorbs the influence of the place.
. Make a list of people in your life in whose company you feel more alive, happy, and optimistic. Our spiritual selves resonates with others, and that connection is a healing.
. Bring flowers into your home and enjoy their beauty.
. Listen to music that you find uplifting.
. Admire a work of art that raises your spirits.
. Practice forgiveness
. Do some sort of service work. Give some of your time and energy to help others.
