How do I restore myself spiritually?

Do you feel like you need to press the ‘reset button’ on your spiritual life? Maybe you’ve been feeling distant from God or want to live differently in the new year. Whatever your reasons, restoring yourself spiritually can be both rewarding and necessary for a healthy soul.

To help you on your journey, we’ve compiled ten of the best ways to refresh and renew yourself spiritually. Here are some simple steps you can take to support your spiritual growth:

1. Take a New Class

A great way to start refreshing yourself spiritually is to take up a new class or activity. Yoga is the perfect example – it may be an online course or a local class that will help you move your body, clear your head, and refocus your heart. Joining meditation classes, finding other like-minded people and taking time to learn from a teacher can bring great benefits and a new perspective into your life.

2. Be Still

Psalm 46:10 states that “he invites his children to be still”. It is important to take a break from the hustle and bustle of the world, silence all the noise and give yourself a moment of quiet. This will allow you to open up to the Holy Spirit, and be aware of the needs that you have been trying to fill with people and possessions.

3. Practice Self-Care

If you want to restore spiritually, you must nourish yourself body, mind and soul. Take some ‘me-time’ and experiment with different techniques to bring in some much-needed rest and rejuvenation. Scheduling time for a divine self-care ritual can include activities such as exercise, reading, writing, looking at your vision board, or even hiring a spiritual coach.

4. Put Electronics Aside

As wonderful as it can be to connect with others and stay updated on news through electronics, it has been shown that exposure to excessive technology can be detrimental to proper spiritual nourishment. Switch off the devices and make sure to have as little exposure to digital sources as possible.

5. Truly Depend on God

At the end of the day, the key to restoring yourself spiritually is to truly depend on God. Declare to yourself that you are no longer depending on yourself for strength, and instead ask God to show you new ways of thinking and behaving. You must be willing to let go of all that is not ordained by Him, and be open to the new possibilities.

6. Drink Lemon Water in the Morning

An easy way to reset your mind, body, and soul is by starting your mornings with a healthy dose of lemon water. Not only does it kick-start the body and awaken your senses, but it provides hydration and nourishes the body.

7. Reflect, Repent, Reorder

In this current age, it’s easy to live a life of convenience instead of living an intentional life that follows God. Therefore, it’s important to take a step back and reflect on our actions. Repent of anything that contradicts God’s Word, and reorder the priorities in our life according to God’s will.

8. Use a Variety of Exercises

To strengthen your spiritual core, practice a variety of exercises such as writing in a journal, praying, meditating, reading scripture, attending worship services, or consciously act forgiveness. If you’re not sure where to begin, look for outside help from books, friends, mentors, and support groups.

9. Choose Love

It’s important to move on from shock, rage and disappointment, and instead restore your tired spirit with love. Replace hatred and rage with compassion, understanding, and grace.

10. Seek Counsel

It is not easy to reset your spiritual life. That is why it is recommended to seek counsel from trusted family members or spiritual advisor such as a pastor. They can provide guidance and support while you’re on the journey.
