Discovering who we are, who we belong to, and how we live meaningful lives.
One way to understand our identity is through our life narrative—the stories we tell ourselves about our lives. Healthy spirituality produces stories that connect us to love and belonging and support us as we explore who we are in our pursuit of a thriving life. Although spirituality reminds us that we are a part of something bigger, healthy spirituality celebrates our uniqueness and individuality in the way we contribute to the world. We are too often prone toward telling negative stories about our lives and others. Science reveals that our brains have tendencies to be oriented toward fear and shame, and this can limit our growth and connections. An important aspect of spiritual health is to intentionally consider and revise our stories to be oriented around love. Healthy spirituality pursues a lens of redemption, hope, and thriving. How do you understand your unique role in contributing to this greater story?
