Spiritual Category Description


The spiritual category is often dismissed as entirely related to religion. This is a major misconception. Certainly religion makes up a large part of a person’s spiritual Life. But whether or not you believe in God or even if you do but don’t spend any time thinking about God, there are other aspects of your spiritual life. Anything you do purely for enjoyment is a spiritual activity. Understanding yourself, your beliefs, and your values all fall under the spiritual category.

As far as ThePrysm.com is concerned, here is what we will classify as the different aspects of your spiritual Life:
  • Faith
  • Life Mission
  • Goals and Values
  • Hobbies
  • Life Concept
  • Worldview
  • Relaxation
  • Time Alone
The Spiritual Category’s Impact on Balance

Whether you acknowledge that you have a spiritual side or not, it is affecting your life and all the other categories of your life. For instance, your values will shape your FINANCIAL life by how you make and spend your money. Your beliefs will either aid or even hinder INTELLECTUAL life by shaping your biases and views. Certainly your own happiness and the amount of time you spend doing things you love directly impacts your RELATIONSHIPS. And your life concept and how you live will affect the decisions that relate to your HEALTH. Simply put, the aspects in the spiritual category directly affect how you view things and that affects your interactions with all other categories.

Each of us, whether we acknowledge it or not, have a spiritual side to our lives. Simply put it is our worldview which shapes all other parts of our life. It is up to each of us to understand our beliefs about ourselves and how we relate to the world in order to understand how our spiritual life affects all of the other categories.
