It’s a Thing.

Spiritual practice proliferation. It’s a thing.

Here are a few of the ones I try to do regularly (or have in the recent past):

• Say affirmations frequently.
• Do a sit-down meditation for ten minutes every morning.
• Read books on spirituality.
• Journal negative thoughts and counter with positive ones.
• Attend church and cultivate friendships with spiritual people.
• Send healing, loving energy to others.
• Allow myself to experience all emotions fully, especially sympathy and compassion.
• Make friendships a priority. Seek ways to communicate acceptance, love, peace and joy to others.
• Sing.
• Listen to my inner guidance/intuition.
• Focus on good feelings and don’t focus on bad ones. Be a totally positive, light-focused person.
• Make a recording of positive thoughts for my phone.
• Make a song list of positive songs in my phone.
• Choose a mantra for the day or week, then repeat it and count 1-100.
• Do “the work” with Byron Katie examining negative beliefs.

How am I supposed to remember all these, much less choose between these at any given (possibly chaotic) moment?

Am I reading too many spirituality books, or what?
