So, no matter if you consider yourself spiritual
or religious, here are some of my favorite
“all paths lead to one” practices that will help
you deepen your spiritual connection and
live more inspired and powerfully in 2018:
1
PRACTICE DEEPER
LEARNING:
Filling your mind with healthy “brain food”
is essential to keeping your vibration high
and outlook positive, so shut off the news
and read a book. My favorite way to read
books is listening to them on Audible. I listen
to books on personal growth, business,
spirituality and any topic that interests me
at the moment. I always have my phone
with me, so it’s pretty easy to find time to
stick my earbuds in my ears and listen to a
few chapters of a book while I do something
else; run errands, walk on the treadmill,
cook dinner, etc.

PRACTICE DAILY
PRAYER:
Make time to talk to your Creator EVERY
DAY and on an as needed basis. Prayer and
connection to a higher power is essential
to cultivating deep faith. I have found that
faith is the mystical substance I’ve needed
to lean on for most of the last 2 years. I’ve
encountered many changes that were
unexpected… faith that everything would
work out as it should, is what kept me putting
one foot in front of the other.

PRACTICE LETTING GO:
Holding on for dear life about anything or
anyone is going to bring you sorrow and
heartache at some point. A tremendous
amount of drama kicks up whenever I cling
too tightly to an idea of how something is
supposed to look in my life or in a relationship.
Practicing letting go of expectation brings
inner peace and more flow to daily life.
