Spirituality and Mental Health: Benefits of Spirituality

While people use many different religions and paths to

find God, research has shown that those who are more
religious or spiritual, and use their spirituality to cope with
life, experience many benefits to their health and well-
being. For many, this news would come as no surprise;
spirituality and religious activity have been a source of
comfort and relief from stress for multitudes of people. In
fact, according to a study from the University of Florida in
Gainesville and Wayne State University in Detroit, older
adults use prayer more than any other alternative therapy
for health; 96% of study participants use prayer
specifically to cope with stress. Here are just a few more
of the many positive findings about spirituality and its
influence on physical and mental health:
• Canadian college students who are involved with
campus ministries visited the doctor less, scored
higher on tests of psychological well-being,
andcoped with stress more effectively.
• Older women are more grateful to God than older
men, and they receive greater stress-buffering health
effects due to this gratitude.
• Those with an intrinsic religious orientation,
regardless of gender, exhibited less physiological
reactivity toward stress than those with an extrinsic
religious orientation. They were also less afraid of
death and had greater feelings of well-being.
(Those who were intrinsically oriented dedicated their
lives to God or a ‘higher power,’ while the extrinsically
 oriented ones used religion for external ends like making
friends or increasing community social standing.)
• Prayer works for young and old alike. Prayer and
spirituality have been linked to:
 Better health
 Less hypertension
 Less stress, even during difficult times
 More positive feelings
 Less depression
 Greater psychological well-being
 Superior ability to handle stress

Whether this information inspires you to rediscover a

forgotten spiritual path, reinforces your commitment to
an already well-established one, or simply provides
interesting food for thought, this is just a sample of all
the encouraging research that’s been done on the topic.

Spirituality is personal, and everyone’s spiritual path

may be unique. However, somespiritual stress
relief strategies have been helpful to many, regardless
of faith. Check them out, and see which may work for
you .

How To Use Spirituatliy for Stress Relief

StressMusic for RelaxationWays to Relieve Stress
While there are many paths people use to find God,
research shows that those who have made the journey
find greater relief from stress and enjoy better health and
happier lives. (This article on stress and spirituality can tell
you more about these benefits.) While most people who
are religious or spiritual find a religious community that
supports their journey, there are specific ways that you
can use your faith to reduce stress. The following are
research-supported methods of stress relief that have a
spiritual basis:

Here's How:
1. Pray Often. Prayer can help you feel more
connected with God, leaving you with a calmer, safer,
more grounded feeling that can act as a buffer against
stress. It can also bring benefits similar to the benefits
of meditation, including lower blood pressure,
increased immunity, and more.
2. Express Gratitude. Although the benefits of
gratitude toward God are more prevalent among older
women than older men, gratitude toward God has been
linked with improved health outcomes, and can reduce
the experience of stress as well. One effective way to
increase your gratitude level is to keep a gratitude
journal, in which you record all for which you are
grateful. Then, you’re left with a list that can act as a
pick-me-up when you’re feeling down, and you get into
the habit of noticing all that is good in your life as you
write about it.
3. Be Intrinsic. Just as there are many different faiths,
there are different ways to experience religion within a
faith. Some people express their spirituality
‘intrinsically’, or in a more personal way, dedicating
their lives to God and to becoming a good person.
Others use religious involvement ‘extrinsically’, or to
meet external needs like finding friends or developing
greater standing in a community. According to
research, you experience greater benefits from being
intrinsically oriented.

4. Be Optimistic. There’s a lot of value in the phrase,

‘When God closes a door, He opens a window.’ (Those
who have a greater trust in God may be more
optimistic. Research shows many benefits to optimism,
which you can read about here.) Having trust that
there is always another option available can help you
develop a more internal locus of control, which brings
many benefits as well. Trust your abilities, trust your
situation, trust God.
 5. Find The Lesson. Those who are more spiritual
have the benefit of seeing stressful situations as tests
of strength, or even as valuable lessons from God. This
can be a good distinction, as viewing a stressful event
as a challenge can make the event itself feel less
threatening. If you feel less threatened, you aren’t as
physically reactive to stress, and you may find more
effective ways to cope, turning a difficult situation into
a path to a better life or greater personal growth.

6. Use The Law of Attraction. There’s been a lot of

press about the Law of Attraction, but this principle has
been studied for centuries. Simply put, what you focus
on is what you attract; if you focus on your frustrations,
these experiences will continue, whereas if you focus
on what you want in life, you’ll draw these positive
things in. See this article for more on using the law of
attraction in your life to create positive change .

Spirituality and stress relief: Make the connection

Taking the path less traveled by exploring your spirituality
can lead to a clearer life purpose, better personal
relationships and enhanced stress management skills.
By Mayo Clinic staff
Certain tools to reduce stress are very tangible: exercising
more, eating healthy foods and talking with friends. But
there is another tool for helping you manage difficult
times that can be just as beneficial, albeit harder to pin
down — embracing your spirituality.

What is spirituality?
Spirituality has many definitions, but at its core spirituality
helps to give our lives context. It's not necessarily
connected to a specific belief system or even religious
worship. Instead, it arises from your connection with
yourself and with others, the development of your
personal value system, and your search for meaning in
life. For many, this takes the form of religious observance,
prayer, meditation or a belief in a higher power. For
others, it can be found in nature, music, art or a secular
community. Spirituality is different for everyone.

How can spirituality help you?

Spirituality has many benefits. It can help you:

 Focus on personal goals. Cultivating your

spirituality may help uncover what's most meaningful
in your life. By clarifying what's most important, you
can focus less on the unimportant things and
eliminate stress.
 Connect to the world. The more you feel you have
a purpose in the world, the less solitary you feel —
even when you're alone. This can lead to a valuable
inner peace during difficult times.
 Release control. When you feel part of a greater
whole, you realize that you aren't responsible for
everything that happens in life. You can share the
burden of tough times as well as the joys of life's
blessings with those around you.
 Expand your support network. Whether you find
spirituality in a church, mosque or synagogue, in your
family, or in walks with a friend through nature, this
sharing of spiritual expression can help build
relationships.
 Lead a healthier life. People who consider
themselves spiritual may be better able to cope with
stress and heal from illness or addiction faster.
How can you define your spirituality?
The best way to uncover your spirituality is to engage in
self-discovery. Here are some questions to ask yourself to
discover what experiences and values define you:

 What are your important relationships?

 Where have you found comfort?
 What gives you hope?
  What brings you joy?
 What are your three most memorable experiences?
 If you have survived losses in your life, how have you
done so?
 What do you believe will happen to you when your
physical life ends, and how do you feel about that?
 Describe a time when you felt comfortable and all
was right with the world.
 Describe a time when your life was filled with a sense
of meaning or you were filled with a sense of awe.
The answers to such questions help you identify the most
important people and experiences in your life. With this
information, you can focus your search for spirituality on
the relationships and activities in life that have helped
define you as a person and those that continue to inspire
your personal growth.

Cultivating your spirituality

Spirituality begins with your relationship with yourself, is
nurtured by your relationships with others and culminates
in a sense of purpose in life. Realizing this, two of the best
ways to cultivate your spirituality are to improve your self-
esteem and to foster relationships with those who are
important to you. This can lead to a deepened sense of
your place in life and in the greater good.

Looking inward
 Try prayer, meditation and relaxation
techniques to access your inner wisdom and help
focus your thoughts.
 Keep a journal to help you express your feelings
and record your progress.
 Seek out a trusted adviser or friend — preferably
someone who has had similar life experiences — who
can help you discover what's important to you in life.
 Sometimes others may have insights that you
haven't been able to discover on your own.
 Read inspirational stories or essays to help you
evaluate different philosophies of life.
 Talk to others whose spiritual lives you admire. Ask
questions to learn how they found their way to a
fulfilling spiritual life.
 Be open to new experiences. If you're exploring
organized religion, remember to consider a variety of
different faith traditions. If your spirituality is more
secular, you might consider expanding your horizons
with new experiences in the arts.
Nurturing relationships with others
 Develop effective listening and communication skills.

 Make relationships with friends and family a priority

and stay in touch.
 Share your spiritual journey with loved ones and let
them know what's important to you.
 Seek out others with similar spiritual beliefs and
engage in conversation to learn from each other.
 Volunteer within your community.
 See the good in people and in yourself.
Pursuing a spiritual life
Staying connected to your inner spirit and the lives of
those around you can enhance your quality of life, both
mentally and physically. Remember that spirituality is a
dynamic process and a constantly evolving internal
journey. Your personal concept of spirituality may change
with your age and life experiences, but it always forms the
basis of your well-being, helps you maintain a reasonable
stress level and affirms your purpose in life.

Spirituality and Success: Bridging the Gap

There is a new breed of spiritual seekers these days;
people looking for a better way to live. We, as a whole, are
not content with the routines of daily life, and the quest
for material gain is no longer completely satisfying our
needs. Humanity is looking for fulfillment, and we have
finally realized that peace, contentment and happiness
come from inside of our selves, not from external sources.
We have, after all these decades of probing, realized that
what we have been seeking has been with us, inside us,
all this time. We need only to turn our eyes inward to see
the potential that resides within. Getting to know
ourselves along with our connection and relationship with
spirit, will unlock that potential, and catapult us on an
amazing journey through life—a journey where worldly
success and spiritual bliss are achieved simultaneously.

Worldly success can be achieve and coexist

in harmony with spirituality—it’s the way things are
supposed to be. Primarily our perception and thoughts of
what “should be” are what hold us back. Success is more
a state of mind and how one perceives themselves as
successful. Your happiness is a choice that is made
continually, throughout each moment of each day. Again,
thought and perception mainly dictates whether you see
yourself as happy or not. To truly achieve ‘life success,’
you have to make your life ‘a success.’ This is only
feasible if you are happy. People from all walks of life are
choosing to live a more spiritual life, to follow a path of
peace and contentment while striving for success… And
why not? Can we have both? YES!

But what does it mean to live a spiritual life? Do we have

to forsake our possessions and the desire for achievement
and accomplishment? Being spiritual does not mean we
have to give up our thirst for life, and being successful
does not mean you have to be unhappy and ‘sell your
soul.’ In fact, a centered, contemplative and motivated
person is better poised for the greatest of life successes.
By knowing who you are and what you are capable of, and
realizing your connection to the earth, spirit and
humanity, you can move past fears and begin to live the
amazing adventure your life is meant to be!

Spirituality is not about perfection, nobody will ever

achieve that, but it is however, striving to live the best life
you can and to be the best person you can be everyday in
every way. It's about following your heart and not being
afraid to peruse your dreams. It’s about having
compassion and forgiveness; being loving and kind and
inspiring and motivating others to reach inside themselves
and thrive. It’s about living morally and justly—being
virtuous and holding true to your heart’s desires. Being
spiritual is to adapt a ‘Christ like’ consciousness and
without judgment, ego or fear, pursuing your journey on
earth and cherishing the gift of life.

And what about success… It is such an arbitrary term,

meaning so many things to so many people. I like to ask,
“What is your definition of success?” How do you define
being successful? Are you on a certain path just to
appease or please someone else? Do you act a certain
way because you believe it is the ‘socially acceptable’
thing to do? You have to ask yourself what do you really
want, what speaks truth to your soul? What, in your heart
and mind, will make you a success. Many people have a
certain goal or dream, and will not believe they are
successful until they reach that point. But living
successfully is a daily path, not a destination or something
to be achieved or attained. We need to look at success on
a smaller scale; the successes we achieve moment to
moment are just as important as life-long success.

Spirituality and success are both paths to travel and not

definitive destinations. To achieve total life success, one
must make living spiritual and being successful a lifestyle.
Like water and clay, they should be molded together to
create the masterpiece of your life. You cannot have one
without the other. How can you be happy if you do not feel
you are a success? Contrarily you’re not a total success if
you cannot find peace and contentment.
For centuries we have followed these two paths
separately, thinking we cannot have it both
simultaneously. And for centuries, we have been
frustrated and unfulfilled, bouncing back and forth from
the paths of spirituality and success. What we have failed
to realize, and are beginning to awaken to, is the idea that
both paths are synonymous. We can have both; we can
live fulfilling spiritual lives and be successful at the same
time. After all, it is what we were born for. “But son, do not
forget my teaching, but keep my commandments in your
heart, for they will prolong your life many years and bring
you prosperity”.

INTRODUCTION

"Stress "refers to an individual's reaction to a disturbing factor in the

environment. It is defined as an adaptive response to an external situati
that results in physical, psychological, and behavioral deviations for
organizational participants. Stress is the feeling one experience when he
perceives a gap between what one wants and what one gets or has; it
becomes an excess of demands over the individual's ability to meet them
is an internal reaction caused by our perception or interpretation of wha
outside and it results in building up of commotion within us.

Stress is usually thought of a negative terms. Stress can manifest itself i

both positive and negative ways. The positive stress is known as Eustres
is viewed as a motivator since in its absence the individual lacks that 'ed
necessary for peak performance. Stress is considered negative when it i
associated with heart diseases, absenteeism, breakdowns, physical and
organizational and emotional problems.

Stress can either help or hinder one's effectiveness depending upon the
stress level. When the level increases, personal effectiveness increases
when the stress crosses the optimum level, the persons' effectiveness
declines. Too much tension in the string also yields very poor result and
may break the string. Only optimal amount of tension only produces
pleasant music. There are several major sources of stress. The stressors
generate from individual, group, organizational and extra organizational
sources. Job stress is not limited just to things that happen inside the
organization, during working hours. The other organizational stressors a
family relocation, economic and financial conditions, race and class and
community conditions etc.,

A group can also be a potential source of stress. These group stressors c

be categorized into three areas. They are lack of group cohesiveness, la
of social support and intra individual, interpersonal and inter-group conf
Among individual factors contributing to stress are personality, life and
career changes and lift trauma.

The following are the major stressors:

Procrastination: It affects most of us at sometime. Most often we

procrastinate when faced with something we do not want to do. Howeve
most of the stress is self-induced and they are caused not by external
events but by the way one looks at and interprets those events which oc
in life.

Environmental and work stress:

This will affect from an inability to perform well in a particular role becau
of misunderstanding over what is required from the role of a boss or
subordinate or because of lack of skills. It may come from overcrowding,
pollution, untidiness and distractions.

Fatigue and Overwork: Here, stress builds up over a long period. This ca
occur where one tries to achieve too much in too little a time, or where o
is not using effective time management strategies.

Frustration: It is a result of a motivation being blocked to prevent one fro

reaching a desired goal. Assume that you are trying to finish a report by
quitting time, but one interference after another requires your attention
your time. When we are sure that our goal for the day many not be reac
you are likely to become frustrated and become irritable and develop an
uneasy feeling in your stomach, or have some other reaction. These
reactions to frustration are known as Defense Mechanisms.
EFFECTS OF STRESS;

Stress can have serious consequences on both our health and work
performance. The problems due to high levels of stress can be exhibited
physically, psychologically or behaviourally by the individual. High levels
stress are also associates with ulcers, high blood pressure and
arteriosclerosis. Stress can cause depression; irritation, anxiety, and fati
lowered self-esteem and reduced job satisfaction. Sustained over a long
period, stress can lead to attempts to escape through the use of drugs o
alcohol. The job related stress leads to lower productivity. Lower quality,
high health care cost and increasing employee conflicts.

STRATEGIES:

There are few specific techniques that individuals can sue to eliminate o
more effectively manage inevitable, prolonged stress conditions:

Yoga: Yoga is the most effective remedy for stress. It has been used in o
country for centuries. Pranayaama, Manomaya Kosha, Anandamaya Kos
are useful to cope with stress.

Pace Yourself: Plan the day on a flexible basis. Do not try to do many thi
at a time. Slow down. Think before reacting to negative situations or peo
Avoid the trap of trying to do too many things at a time and then failing
accomplish much.

Practice the relaxation response: Engage yourself in physical activity, su

as swimming, walking, riding bicycles to get some exercise to combat
stress. Freely discuss the problems, fears, frustrations and sources of
uprightness with those who care about you.

Focus on situation and solution. Nothing will happen until we start

concentrating on the solution. By deliberately managing the antecedent
and the consequences of their own behaviour, people can achieve self-
control and can avoid people or situations that they know will put them
under stress. This strategy involves individuals controlling the situation
instead of letting the situation control them.

MANAGE STRESS: The art of stress management is to keep our composu

at a level that is healthy and enjoyable. The strategies that should be
adopted to manage excessive stress depend on the source of that stress
Where stress and fatigue are long term, then life style and organizationa
changes may be appropriate. If the feeling of stress comes from adrenal
the body, then it may be effective to relax the body and slow down the f
of adrenalin.

SPIRITUALITY; Due to stress, ambiguous, face paced, demanding, chaoti

work life only value based working is the only solution. Inner wisdom is t
only source that will sustain in the long run. Ethical and spiritual values
have lost their place leading to employees with many mental problems a
also dissatisfaction among them regarding their jobs. Spirituality is that
which comes from within. Spirituality is beyond our programmed beliefs

behave with passion, understanding, empathy and love.

First of all a Manager should establish a personal vision of their function

objectives. Focus the employees; thoughts and actions on the things the
can change or influence and leave the rest to the future.

Making unrealistic demand from employees will lead to stress and

misunderstandings which worsens the position. Developing interpersona
communication skills such as listening to other's views and providing
effective and timely feedback is a key to effective communication. When
one's ideas and attitudes are effectively communicated to people around
they may land in a win win situation in every sphere of workplace or soc

of importance is attached to including spirituality at all levels of manage
functions. Not only directing and motivating employees can lead to the
successful achievement of organizational goals but it is also necessary t
coordinate their activities, the next function of managers.

To avoid any conflict in the functioning of various departments in an

organization, it is necessary for the managers to coordinate all their
functions. Teamwork has the capacity to bring satisfaction to our efforts
learning to our minds and hearts. Challenge to strive to do one's best wh
others on the team simply want to get the task done well or not. The
problem of most of the MNCs toeay is the cultural differences among
employees, which can be dealt with effectively by including spirituality in
manager's perception. Even one can develop a new level of appreciation

The success of any plan made by the management depends upon the
controlling function of the managers. Without effective control all
managerial planning is futile. Nowadays, control function does not mean
harsh control techniques adopted by managers which may include strict
physical or monetary punishments rather a more understandable and
realistic measure. The inclusion of spirituality at control level is importan
it helps both, the managers as well as the employees to understand eac
other's problems and point of view in a more reasonable and sensible
manner. The people are looking for leaders who are enlightened enough
provide a visionary leadership with an assertive communication, and
inspiration to make a different. The main reason that today's work force
predominantly behaves irresponsible and uncaring – according to many
managers- is because they were expected to behave like machines, to d
the job without thinking what was right or wrong.

A workplace where people have the feeling that they are an asset for the
organization, the their family and their feelings are appreciated, that the
thoughts on processes at work are heard and seriously considered, a
workplace where there is z connection between top management and th
operational level without many doors that need to be passed first, is a
workplace where everyone will want to stay. This kind of work environm
is possible only when spirituality is a part and parcel of management
function and workers day to day activity.

However a closer examination would reveal that we have only a vague a
very subjective idea of the policies of our organizations and about the
competitor's ways of working. Carefully we have to go step by step to de

The Sloka of Gita says that do your work and do not wish for results. You
duty is to work and the results are in God's hands. People term this a

wrong, only the interpretation is wrong. Krishna is not wrong, only the
interpretation is wrong. Krishna never meant to say Work without reward
what he meant was that you keep on doing your work with full efforts,
energy and concentration. Rewards will automatically follow. But if, whil
working, you keep on thinking and worrying about rewards, your efforts,
energy and concentration on work will get reduced. So herein lies the cr
work dispassionately and it will never bore you henceforth.
