There is also a spiritual component of the holidays that deeply touches many people. It definitely bears mentioning that this spiritual connection can bring stress relief, life satisfaction and deep feelings of peace. Spirituality may look different for everyone, but the benefits are clear. If you are spiritually inclined, I’d like to encourage you to maintain a spiritual practice — by attending church or another house of worship, engaging in regular prayer or meditation or celebrating in another way that resonates with you. Try keeping it up throughout the year.
