Spiritual Growth: How To Develop and Improve It – Other

December 28, 2011 By Leave a Comment

1Life1509.jpgWe have heard of clich?s saying that lots of people can be religious but few can be spiritual in its truest sense. Yes, that is true. Our affiliation with a church organization or our adherence to church beliefs does not make us spiritual. Spirituality is more than that. It is religion felt and experienced within us as we discover and accept complex, sometimes paradoxical, truths of the human being.

Along our journey in life, we may have gone astray because of the numerous frustrations and unwanted events that we have not dealt with accordingly. However, life must go on and we should reconcile with ourselves to attain spiritual growth. So, how then can you develop your spiritual life?

Learning to say thank you and I’m sorry As our societies progress, sometimes, values change from being personal to impersonal, from simple to complex. We are not pleased anymore with little things nature can offer. When we learn to appreciate our blessings, we start to feel contentment and a deep happiness.

Meanwhile, we tend to be very impersonal. When we want something, we are so determined to get it till the end not thinking of its effects to others. Success should not block you to your friends and family members. Asking forgiveness from them will free you from grudges and negative solutions thus making you achieve spiritual growth.

Seeking guidance from good and trusted people Relying on our own understanding may be successful to a few, but most often, we need the guidance from other wiser people who could be a spiritual leader, a priest or a professional spiritual guide. Opening your self to them will make you feel better notwithstanding the enlightenment you will feel after hearing their words.

Meditation With our industrialized, noisy world, we rarely find the time to meditate and free our minds from any thought. When we meditate, we are going back to the most essential things including our relationship with our God. This Higher Being may be different from what the church dictated and it does not matter as long as you are communicating with him with all sincerity. Feeling secured and calm after meditation is a step towards spiritual growth.

Thinking of a purpose in life Life with a purpose is life worth living. Our friends and loved ones complete us and would serve as an inspiration to do well and achieve success. Helping the needy is little ways is also a way to help you see the world in a different angle. When you help the poor, you will see that others also share the same or even worse sentiments than yours.

Know yourself well. Despite the many changes we are experiencing, we should try to achieve balance and happiness in life. Be thankful, ask for forgiveness, take time to reflect on your life. When done regularly, these things will surely make you attain spiritual growth and bliss.

Self Help Strategies to Stop Smoking

December 28, 2011 By Leave a Comment

2Life15026.jpgThere are some simple activities that can be used to help you stop smoking such as keeping the hands busy, chewing carrots, taking the long deep breath, drink a glass of water, or even rewarding yourself when you manage to reach the end of the day without a single puff. The first few weeks after you quit is very critical in increasing your chances to quit for good:1. Record your progress. When you are trying to quit smoking, do it slowly but steady. It is important that you set a date and time that you will begin to quit. At the mean time, keep a detail record of each cigarette that you smoke; where, when and in what conditions. This will make it easier for you to identify situations in which you smoke, and then come out with an alternative activity to replace it.2. Hold your desire. When you decided to stop smoking gradually, each time you feel eager to smoke, wait for five minutes before lighting it up. After several days, extend the delay to ten minutes. Several days later, extend it to 15 minutes, and so on. By doing this, you will began to notice that the cravings would disappear faster.3. Search for help. Whether you want to stop out of a sudden or gradually with reducing the number of cigarettes you smoke, it would better to have someone who provide support. With support from people, the result will be much different. Ask support from friends, family, or the other smokers who share your goal to quit smoking. It is not uncommon that during the first week people who quit smoking often encounter depression symptoms such as anxiety and sleeplessness.4. Drinking orange juice.Most difficult part to stop smoking is when you have to overcome the nicotine withdrawal symptom; a reaction due to the absence of nicotine. Normally it would last for one or two weeks. During that time you would experience reactions such as susceptible, anxious, confused, difficulty to concentrate and difficulty to sleep due to nicotine withdrawal. Drinking lots of orange juice would help you to overcome those symptoms. This is due to the fact that orange juice makes your urine more acidic in order to quickly dispel the nicotine from the body. However, if you stop smoking with the help of patch or chewing gum that contains nicotine, avoid drinking orange juice and other acidic drinks because those are meant to induce a little amount of nicotine into your body.6. Stay away from bars and cafes. The biggest temptation to smoke again is when you go to a bar or cafe. For lots of people, coffee and beer go together nicely with cigarettes. Therefore avoid bars or cafes for at least two weeks after you first stop smoking because there are considered as places that would influence your desire to smoke. Instead go to the library, place of worship, or other public places that prohibit smoking.

Adventure Recreation in The Christian Setting

December 28, 2011 By Leave a Comment

0Life1506.jpgBaack, Hill, and Palmer state in Adventure Recreation: An Adventure in Group Building that in a world where the circumstances of life pull people apart, Adventure Recreation in a Christian setting can bring together different groups of people who are emotionally and spiritually disconnected from God and others around them.  They claim it is a means for sharing the adventure of the Christian life both with those who know Christ and also with those who have not yet taken that leap of faith.  They believe it draws a group of individuals into an attitude of like-minded spiritual togetherness.  The excitement and high spirits one feels by being a part of a group experience such as this brings much fulfillment to the heart.  Christian Recreation (Adventure Based Counseling) as used in a ministry setting is a process of teaching spiritual truths through group building in a series of games and challenging activities.  The activities are designed for a group building experience and are a good tool for Christian Counselors, Youth Pastors, and laypersons to serve the greater purpose of ministering to people and sharing the life of Christ with their target audience.  The goal is the participants’ individual edification, as well as the group’s spiritual growth through the spiritually based lessons and applications of the games they play.

                Christian Recreation was a spin off of the original Adventure-based Counseling (ABC), which is an adventure-based therapeutic approach to personal development and group activity.  ABC was developed by Project Adventure and became more widely used and well known because of their publications, ABC programs, and extensive training programs.  Adventure Based Counseling is an approach to counseling, activity therapy, and life that is involved, active, challenging and has high expectations for the individuals within a supportive and caring group atmosphere. The program’s careful selection and sequencing of the games and activities, which are tailored to each group’s particular needs, build feelings of trust, togetherness, and cooperation within the group members. The program is designed to take each individual beyond their own expectations or their professed willingness to try the new activity. Those who do choose to go beyond their self-imposed limitations, will have more self-confidence, a greater self-awareness, and ultimately become a stronger person for their efforts.

                The application, or the teachable moment, is the most important aspect of Christian Recreation in adventure based counseling experiences.  At any time during or after an activity, an observation can be made that reveals an important spiritual truth.  The group’s observations and discussions can honestly explore uncomfortable emotions, and spiritual conflicts, while coming to conclusions that will build up each person in a caring Christian atmosphere.  The leader’s debriefing is one of the most important parts of this process and should leave individuals with the desire to continue, while not allowing the conversation to drag on indefinitely.  The leader should bring a life-changing purpose and spiritual application to the activity by encouraging participation and learning, and relating the activity to a real life situations and spiritual solutions.  During de-briefing, Christian leaders and their groups consciously take a break from the physical activity to explore its spiritual applications.  Reflection, prayer, and scripture readings are all instrumental components in this process. The Christian recreational experience is a tool that if used properly, will help individual participants grow in self confidence, while letting groups grow in the cooperative spirit of Christ. Setting and working toward personal and group physical, emotional, and spiritual goals allows participants to negotiate strategies and the steps they need to take to achieve them. Phil. 3:14 states I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. 

                Christian Recreational Adventure Based Counseling is a powerful ministry tool in which messages on faith and trust are used alongside physical activities to create a caring, supportive, and cooperative environment in order to draw people closer to one another and to Jesus, while also emphasizing learning through experiences of close group encounters.  It uses a holistic approach that involves participants physically, mentally, emotionally, socially, and spiritually.  One of the main goals of these types of programs is to enhance participants’ self-concept, and in turn lead them into a more enriched lifestyle.  During the course of the activities, participants interact socially, assist each other physically, use their intellectual abilities to solve problems, face their own and others emotional and spiritual responses, and draw spiritually based connections and conclusions that will help them grow spiritually in their walk with Christ.  Participants of Christian Recreational Adventure Based Counseling encounters must function as a group by working together and using the various abilities of the individuals within the group to attain a group goal.  They see a practical illustration of how the body of Christ needs to function, as portrayed in I Corinthians 12:27.  All the activities, games, and initiatives are designed to lead the individual members of the group to trust and depend on one another to complete them.  As in the church, each member of the group does their individual part and the entire group is strengthened in the process.  If an individual does not fulfill their particular role, the group will not be as triumphant, nor as edified, as they otherwise would be. 

                Some necessary attributes of the leaders of these groups are mental and physical endurance and a passion for experiencing the outdoors.   But mostly they need to have a great capacity to love and a desire for caring and sharing. Christian Recreational Adventure-based counseling requires a great deal of interaction with other people. So depending on where you apply your talents, you could be working with a population that hasn’t experienced much love or positive interactions.  There’s no greater privilege than to have a positive Christian influence on another person while showing them the love and acceptance of Jesus Christ. This allows  leaders to demonstrate the positive, active, and fulfilled life that God intends for everyone to have.  In Christian based groups, the members are saturated with the ideals of God’s love and Christian support.  In this kind of setting, the joy and excitement of a life in Christ is naturally shared with others.  Life is full of risks, hurts, and disappointments, but through an adventurous Christian based encounter group experience, participants will likely all feel the love and support of God through the caring and support of others.  As friends break each others falls, lift each other up, and cheer each other on, lasting friendships are created that make the mutual journey of life a little less painful and possibly a lot more enjoyable.

                One of the great things about this type of group counseling, is that it gives everyone the opportunity to participate.  Less active and non-athletic members of the group may still be actively involved and succeed in most or all of the activities they choose to do.  The games and activities include both physical and mental challenges, and everyone has an equal opportunity to provide input and suggestions.  As the group develops in unity, the individual members begin to see partners and friends, rather than the differences in their personal makeup.  In an environment of acceptance, the participants are much more willing to admit a weakness and to ask for help when necessary because they know it will be willingly given without criticism.  Though some conflicts and disagreements may occur while the participants try to resolve their differences, and still attain their goals, they usually become more accepting and appreciative of one another.  Group experiences like these clearly illustrate the spiritual truth  If any of you are encouraged from companionship in Christ, if any are comforted by His Love, if any are connected with His Spirit, if any have tenderness and compassion, then my joy is complete knowing that you are of the same mind, and have the same love, and are one in spirit and purpose.  Yet, you should do nothing out of selfish ambition or empty conceit, but rather humbly consider others needs as more important than your own.  You should tend not only to your own interests, but to those of others also.  You should have the attitude shown by Jesus Christ. (Phil. 2:1-5)

Through these kinds of adventure based encounters, churches, classrooms, troubled teen youth programs and ministries, peer advocacy groups, addictions groups, family therapy groups, physically, mentally, and emotionally challenged groups, sexual abuse groups and others have ministered, educated, counseled, and equipped a great many individuals to cope better with the stresses of their particular life settings.  All of these various groups with their own particular challenges use recreational therapy to restore and build self-esteem for self and respect for others.   Christian Recreational adventure based counseling experiences provide an appealing and enriching series of activities which are a good means of ministering to many diverse groups, but are usually selective in the group that a particular program targets.  A group experience for victims of sexual and domestic violence is a good example, because of the dire need to increase these survivors’ self-concept and esteem, along with their sense of trust, and the need for spiritual growth.  Many of these women have great difficulty trusting men and cannot accept a concept of God, as father.

How to Find Contentment in Your Life

December 26, 2011 By Leave a Comment

2Life1504.jpgThe true needs of the individual tend to take a back seat to that of all the material objects that continually hypnotize our judgment and our eyes.
So, how do we overcome the desire to want and want and get back to basics? How do we consistently remember to concentrate on our spiritual growth? Examine yourself thoroughly about your lifestyle and be honest with yourself. Use introspectiveness; thoughts, belief system, the way you feel, the feelings you have, and what motivates you. After looking at how these traits affect your life and what outcomes or results come from them you will have a firm grasp about your true self with an objective set of eyes about who and how you really are, no matter how pretty or ugly the truth. Now, if it is ugly, the first thing you need to do towards your spiritual growth is to forgive yourself about your past, since you are now on the road to recovery and rebuilding your future towards your individual spiritual growth.
Know and concentrate on the parts of your life that require help and improvement. As you start to grow spiritually, you will already be reaching your maximum potential just by striving each and every day to grow spiritually. As you are searching for meaning, you will begin to discover things about yourself that will provide you further direction towards your spiritual growth.
At one point you will discover that both God and Scientists alike encourage spiritual growth of the human being, even though they disagree about our existence. While the Bible teaches that humanities purpose through spiritual growth is to serve God, scientists teach us that we don’t just exist because we are here; they believe we actually here to learn from each other and ourselves. So, as you can see, no matter what you believe your road to spiritual growth will have a lot of meaning teaching you to feel other people and other living things, to be connected, per say.
After your body, heart, mind and soul truly recognize this deep connection, your appreciation for all humanity, plants and animal life will simply blossom in a way you can never imagine. As a result, you will become a much more respectful, humble person, especially in regards to your environment and surroundings. As you continue to explore your spiritual growth, the paths you take will lead you in new directions. Your personal development will expand so much and you will meet so many more people because you will be open to it.

What is Life Coaching?

December 26, 2011 By Leave a Comment

f_0Life5.jpgLife Coaching:
When did it become fashionable to acquire a life coach? There seems to have been a dramatic shift from the psycho-therapist’s couch to the On-Line Life-Coach/Personal Planner in recent times. Are we becoming less sane? Or are we becoming more self aware and sophisticated in our personal development? In a mere few generations, society has moved from agrarian to urban. Family and village values that tied communities together became diluted as the pace of change increased and peer groups became less cohesive.
Back in the day, the Sunday pulpit served as a voice of reason and consolidation of values and meaning. The erosion of simple life philosophies through education bred cynicism, and questioning of ones place in the natural order. The problem with self awareness is that increasing introspection can leave a void. A sense of fuzziness as to our life’s purpose.
This ‘helter skelter’ rushing around chasing work, home, social, education, health, sport and spiritual pursuits, in the hope of achieving a successful balance of sanity, happiness and meaning no longer seems so simple.

Life Coaching is moving someone forward in their life. It’s about taking future actions to achieve a goal or dream.Divorce rates have never been higher. Kids today are reared by biological and step parent/s. Their siblings are biological and step-’half-brothers and sisters’. Families relocate frequently.
