ECOTRAIN QOTW 9.1: WHAT DOES SPIRITUALITY MEANS TO YOU?

^SOURCE
It is a great pleasure to be part of this new season with ecoTrain question of the week, in which they never disappoint with great topics. Season greetings to everyone, cheers to a better year ahead.
As this week, we're considering 'spirituality'. What it does means and its purpose to life.

According to the dictionary,

Spirituality was defined as the quality or state of being spiritual, concern for that which is unseen and intangible, as opposed to physical or mundane. It can also be defined as

Without any established spiritual principles, spirituality can also refer to the process of forming beliefs about the purpose of life and connections with others.
In life there are challenges, difficult situations, unhealthy and sensible times, so I consider spirituality to be a wonderful way of finding comfort and peace in those periods, as well as a means to focus on stress alleviation and emotional release. It's a means of dealing with life's difficulties but also feeling good about yourself.
And spirituality does not determine one's happiness even though it is an aspect of well-being.

Spirituality vs Religion

Spirituality is sometimes lumped together with religion, yet it is not necessarily necessary to be religious to experience spirituality.
Spirituality is a more personal pursuit that involves a sense of calm and purpose whereas religion is an organized concept practiced by a group of people.
It is distinct from religion as it can be practiced by someone who is not religious.
