Spiritual health is a state of inner well-being that arises from a sense of purpose connected to something greater than oneself, and the ability to find meaning in life’s experiences
Introduction
We are already three weeks into the new year, 2025. You’ve probably dedicated quality time to identify some major goals and life priorities you want to work on. Perhaps it’s a new physical health routine or a strategic plan to advance a new career path. Whatever your goals and priorities look like for 2025, you know it is going to take concerted effort and focus to obtain the outcomes you want. But have you considered how important it is to nurture your spiritual health this year?
Why it’s important to focus on your spiritual health
In a previous essay published in 2024, I tried to highlight why it’s necessary to focus on spiritual health and its importance to our overall wellbeing:
“Spiritual health is the most important dimension of human health. Yes, mental health, physical health, emotional health, social health, and psychological health are important and need to be properly nurtured. However, without spiritual health, improvements in the other domains of health might feel empty or lack sufficient depth…”
If spiritual health is the key dimension of health that actively integrates and supports all other areas of our health, bringing our intentional focus to it is a good idea.
2025 is the year to promote your spiritual health
In 2025, I will share practical steps and exercises, along with inspiring stories, to help you craft your own spiritual health program. Just like a physical health program is designed to achieve certain outcomes such as weight loss, muscle gain, endurance, or heart health, a spiritual health program incorporates tried and true principles to actualize specific outcomes related to creativity, optimum productivity, fulfillment, and overall wellbeing. We will work with these principles and practices together, step by step, to help realize your success.

Until next time—here’s to your spiritual health!!
Looking forward to 2025!
