Many of us are highly intimidated to the idea of a daily spiritual practice. In fact many of are intimidated by any sort of practice that requires commitment even is such commitment is to ourselves. People make new year resolutions and make promises to commit to themselves either in loosing weight, changing a bad habit etc but forget about the promise by end of January.
This is a clear indication that many of us cant see commitment through, we start out excited and energetic but loose momentum to see the results of what we just started.
It has been proven that it takes at least 30 days consistently to change a habit, so if you have a new year resolution to loose weight and you stop at day 15 every time, you will never be able to see any results. The same goes with any issue that we are dealing with.
There are a lot of people who do not want to take responsibility for their lives, they meet you and all the want is to pour out their struggles to you hoping that you feel sorry for them and help them out. When one is asking for help from the place of self pity, it is different from someone is asking from a place of requiring help in a healthy manner.
Many of us also thrive in self pity, the more we share our troubles and struggles, they more attention we get as people feel sorry for us. I see this very often with women, yes it is necessary to have compassion for each other and assist each other in times of difficulty but when it becomes a habit and a way of life then it becomes destructive. Some of us we are the ones with problems every day, and it can even be the same problem stretched out and being aired to anyone who cares to listen for an entire year even longer.
And if we want to any impact in our lives we need to commit to a spiritual practice everyday. Physically most of take a shower everyday but spiritual and emotionally many of just bottle things up and we become so "dirty", we stink! I am not the one to tell which spiritual practice is the best, there are many options out which will work differently with different people, find out which ones fit your life and i leave you with this video
