Your mind and body need regular care — and so does your spirit. Putting your beliefs into action creates a sense of wholeness… of living an authentic life. Find what feels true for you — when you’re clear about your beliefs and align your behavior with them, you’ll enhance your quality of life. Create your own inner peace by:

• Defining your beliefs. They’re a compass for your behavior. A faith leader can help; you could also join a study group or do some reading on your own. Friends, family, and faith community members can offer valuable insights to help you grow spiritually.

• Taking time out. Everyone needs time away from the noise of life. Take the quiet road to discover and listen to who you are. Some people enjoy meditation, while others prefer prayer or introspection. Simply being alone with your thoughts can be healing and refreshing.

• Getting inspired. Read, watch, or listen to stories of events, people, or teachings that inspire your beliefs. Share your own spiritual journey.

• Giving. Serving others and practicing compassion are commonly understood as good ways to live. Being generous with your time and talents nurtures you in a powerful way. You can make the world a better place.
