Spiritual Health

Defining Spirituality as “An intense, personal, awe-based concern for questions about life and meaning,” the Boise State University Body-Mind-Spirit Program advocates working and living in congruence with your values as instrumental in developing spiritual health:

The first step in developing values and spiritual wellness is to examine your own values: respect, honesty, human life, family, education, religion, health, wealth, community service and diversity. Discuss your values with others and work to act in a manner congruent with your values.

The National Wellness Institute says spiritual wellness follows the following tenants:

  • It is better to ponder the meaning of life for ourselves and to be tolerant of the beliefs of others than to close our minds and become intolerant.
  • It is better to live each day in a way that is consistent with our values and beliefs than to do otherwise and feel untrue to ourselves.
