Rule of Life

A Rule of Life is a personal, intentional framework that guides an individual's daily rhythms, practices, and priorities in order to nurture their spiritual growth, well-being, and alignment with their values and beliefs. It serves as a set of principles, commitments, and routines that shape one's life and help to create a sense of balance, purpose, and connection to the divine.

 

A Rule of Life typically includes elements such as spiritual practices (e.g., prayer, meditation, contemplation, study), physical well-being (e.g., exercise, rest, healthy eating), relationships (e.g., community involvement, family time), work and rest rhythms, and self-care activities. It is a flexible and adaptable tool that can be tailored to an individual's unique needs, preferences, and goals.

 

By regularly reflecting on and revisiting their Rule of Life, individuals can stay focused on what matters most to them, maintain a sense of inner harmony, and cultivate a deeper relationship with themselves, others, and the divine. Ultimately, a Rule of Life is a sacred and supportive structure that fosters growth, resilience, and a life lived with intention and purpose.
