Just as we need checklists for physical, mental or even emotional health, we need one for spiritual good health too. Not many of us are aware that spiritual health is as important for our general well being as are the others. We can define spirituality as our personal equation with the Universal Power or Cosmic energy. Most human beings believe in the existence of a power greater than them that seems to control what happens in our world. But one cannot stop at just believing in this phenomenon. How are we to adapt this belief in order to attain spiritual good health? How do we recognize if something is not normal or okay with our spiritual self?

Here is a checklist that will simplify your task to a certain extent. We have listed a few common difficulties that have been recorded as what people who are not spiritually whole have experienced.

• Are you lacking in self respect and are you low on self esteem?
• Are your fear and anxiety levels always high?
• Do you lack courage of convictions and the strength to act on them?
• Are you lacking in honesty and integrity be it in the workplace or home?
• Do you never indulge in any kind of spiritual activity even if it just a few minutes of prayer or meditation?
• Are you a pessimist who does not have any belief in the goodness of mankind?
• Do you suffer from a lack of courage?
• Do you lack respect for individuals?
• Are you intolerant of other religions?
• Do you believe in being a racist?
• Have you found yourself behaving with utter cruelty towards other human beings?
• Do you have total disregard for the needs of people?
• Do you lack a sense of belonging?
• Have you ever been emotionally or sexually abusive?
• Have you ever paused to wonder about the reason for your being born?
• Do you care two hoots about the society to which you belong?
• Do you have the habit of looking down upon others? Are you arrogant?
• Do you believe in only fulfilling your material desires and wants?
• Do you lack in compassion for others?
• Do you ignore the needs of children?
• Are you cruel or show intolerance towards the differently abled?

Go through this list very carefully. It will certainly help you to understand yourself better and will help you to become a better person once you are aware of your place in this world. You have the power to become energized and healthy in both mind and spirit and this change can help you make that little but important difference to this world.
