SPIRITUAL FITNESS


By nature, one needs a sense of belonging and the ability to express himself /herself in the way that he /she wishes. Spiritual fitness is one of the most important important aspect of fitness as much as physical fitness, emotional fitness and social fitness are important.

Spirituality can be defined by a one's beliefs, upbringing and life experiences. These 3 aspects contribute to one's spiritual fitness. Spiritual fitness is about taking care of the third part of who you are: body, mind and spirit. 
Being unable to develop this fitness can lead to a risk of developing Mild Cognitive Decline (MCI)  and even Alzheimer's disease. 
According to the Alzheimer's research that was done, 

Aspects of Spiritual Fitness include:

  • Socialization or being with like-minded people
  • Acceptance and forgiveness of yourself and others
  • Patience and allowing yourself to be in the moment
  • Compassion and empathy towards yourself and others
  • Purpose or meaning in life via self-discovery and building your legacy
  • Sense of spirituality, regardless of origin or religion, makes you happier
  • Volunteering or service without thought of self-reward is a very beneficial, life-affirming act
Therefore, it is an individual's obligation to make certain he or she has a good spiritual fitness!
