When Your Spiritual Life Runs on Empty
Have you ever noticed how the busiest people often seem the most exhausted spiritually? Research shows Americans have gained six hours of weekly leisure time since 1965, yet we feel more drained than ever. Those hours vanished into screens that now interrupt us 64 times daily with buzzing notifications. We check our phones 96 times each day-roughly every 10 waking minutes. The Chinese language captures this perfectly: the character for "busy" literally means "death of the heart," while "mindfulness" combines symbols for "now" and "heart"-experiencing this moment with your heart fully alive. We've become experts at filling time while losing the ability to truly inhabit it. Many who drift from faith don't cite doctrinal disagreements but something more visceral: practices once rich with meaning now feel mechanical, joyless, like going through motions. When we approach spirituality with our microwave mentality-expecting instant peace, immediate enlightenment-we miss what authentic growth actually requires: exploration, uncertainty, productive struggle. The very stillness that could restore us feels impossible to access.
