By Stephanie Anderson


A strong believer will sometimes feel weak at a point in his or her life. This plateau moment calls for a spiritual awakening. The exercises are meant to awaken passion to pursue deeper spirituality so that the believer can enjoy the fruits of full or strong spirituality. The following practical steps will aid in reigniting a strong spirit and transforming your life.

Drop what is unnecessary in your life. This could be people, things or habits. Believers carry a lot of stuff that makes their lives cluttered. There were habits and people who were with you during formative years. Other habits will only drain you emotionally and physically. Endeavor to begin a new journey lighter and will unnecessary baggage.

Evaluate your belief system to see whether it is practical and effective. There are aspects of faith that could be causing your spirit to die or get cold. Lay bare what you believe and see whether it makes sense. If a belief is not making sense or adding value to your life, drop it. Pick up new ideas that enhance your spirituality.

Look for new ideas about spirituality. This does not mean that you drop the old ones. Rather, you begin to read new books and talk to other people apart from your usual circle. The new ideas will jolt you back to life and make you hungry to learn. It opens up your life to new ideas that will bring transformation.

Find appropriate outdoor space for your reflection. There is magic in nature if it is used well to for spiritual reflections. Go for a retreat by the river bed or at a beautiful park. Take a long drive or go to the mountains. Such excursions will help you connect with nature and with your inner self.

Take care of your body. You cannot have a strong spirit if the body is weak. Eat well, exercise and receive treatment for any illnesses you may have. If the body is strong, the mind and spirit will also be strong. A weak body does not have the push to search for awakening. Your perceptions will be limited to your inner strength. If the body is flexible, the mind and heart will equally be flexible.

Learn to release that which is no longer necessary in your life. It is difficult to drop something, a friend or a habit that you have been engaged in for years. This means that you have to stop watching certain programs, visiting certain areas or keeping company. It will take a lot of grace, courage and determination to accept this change. It opens the way for a new path in life.

Find a mentor to guide you through the process. There are activities and actions that could be enticing yet they do not lead you in the right direction. A mentor will direct you from experience and revelation. This should be a leader who has served for years and therefore understands the right direction to take. You must prepare to be a new being and drop your old ways. It will take a while to get comfortable with your new self.
