Spiritual Lifestyle: 

Spiritual lifestyle is a broad term. Thus, everyone has one unique way of leading a spiritual lifestyle. In a nutshell, spirituality is all about appreciating, cultivating, and reciprocating. 

Often, when people come across the word 'Spiritual lifestyle,' they misinterpret it as religious. The spiritual path is not just limited to visiting the temple each week and rigorously worshiping god.

Spirituality is all about getting to know oneself and understand the human soul.

You cannot govern this path by any set of rules and regulations. It is a way of making every effort to keep yourself happy and awakening your inner soul.

If you wish to embrace the spiritual path, you need to begin by accepting and loving every part of yourself.

Loving yourself does not mean you have to be the best at everything and compete with others. You need to love your habits, your personality, your temperament, and your mindset.

When you learn to love yourself completely, only then you'll love your inner soul. Thus, it is of foremost importance that you love and accept every bit of you to lead a spiritual lifestyle.

The second rule of spiritual life is that you listen to your mind.  Explore the thoughts that run through your mind. 

Your thoughts don't need to align with those around you. It's alright to stand out and think something different. It's okay if you have your unique perspective to look at things.

But listen to your thoughts and believe in them.

Do every activity that comes to mind and prioritize your happiness.

The third rule of spiritual life is to make time for yourself. Take out some time to enjoy your company. Listen to any audio or read on any spiritual subject that will help you gain confidence and equip you with new knowledge.

The fourth rule of spiritual life is to be thankful for whatever you have. Be grateful for the food you eat, the shelter you have, the people you have come across, and all the blessings showered on you. Thank yourself for getting up each day and working hard to achieve goals that make you happy. Be grateful in both pain and happiness.

The fifth rule of spiritual life is to love people. 'In a world where you can be anything, choose to kind.' Reciprocate the love you receive. Flood your mind be love and kindness for every being. Be gentle and do whatever you can to bring the same joy you experience in someone else's life.

The last rule of spiritual life is to live life to its fullest. Live for yourself without thinking about what the world would think about you. Don't hold back the real you for anyone.

Spiritual life has no relation to any religious rituals. But spiritual life is the art of living a life that teaches an individual how to live one life for a lifetime.

Humanity teaches and explains the reason you came into the world. The rules of spiritual life are to love yourself, understand yourself, give yourself time, help people, and live.
