Where to Now?

Listed below are a series of practices I have used over the years for integrating spirituality into my life on daily basis. See if any of these resonate with you.

1)First and foremost, embrace personal growth as life’s opportunity for acquiring greater wisdom.

2)When you experience personal (or workplace) conflict, reflect inwardly for the source of your reactive emotion(s)—discover your unmet expectation as the source.

3)Compare your personal values with your organization’s practiced values. If significantly out of alignment, attempt to change the organization or consider another organization.

4)Commit to one or two personal growth activities per month, e.g., self-help books or tapes, seminars or workshops, local support groups, etc.

5)Create a personal development program that enhances your career development plan, e.g. seminars on relationship, communication, leadership, teamwork, diversity, and creativity.

6)Adopt a personally appropriate spiritual practice that connects you to your inner wisdom, e.g., Yoga, meditation, prayer, Zen, visualization, dream journaling, etc.

7)Take 10 minutes each morning and afternoon to center yourself with respect to workplace or life's activities.

8)Become aware if you waste your personal or organization’s resources (without permission), e.g., food, water, electricity, pencils, paper, fax, copies, phone time, work time on personal matters—personal integrity.

9)Be more compassionate and non-judgemental of the short comings of others.

10)Practice ways of contributing to your work community with no expected recognition, reward, or profit.
