Our spiritual intelligence quotient(精神智商), or SQ, helps us understand ourselves, and live fuller, happier lives.

While we’re all born with SQ, most of us aren’t even aware that we have it. Fortunately, you don’t have to sign up for classes to learn how to improve your SQ. Here are some simple steps that can lead you to this new level of understanding.

1. The process of developing spiritual(精神的) intelligence(智力) begins with solitude(独处) and silence. To tune in(调整) to your spirit, you have to turn down the volume in your busy, noisy, complicated(复杂的) life and force yourself to do nothing at all. Start small by creating islands for silence in your day. In the car, instead of listening to the music, use the time to think. At work, shut the door to your office between meetings, take a few breaths and let them out very, very slowly. 2.

Step Outside. For many people, nature sets their spirit free. 3. If you are walking with the dog, take the time to admire flower in bloom; follow the flight of a bird and watch clouds float overhead.

Find an Activity You Enjoy. It’s important to find a hobby that helps you tune in to your spirit. Garden, walk or jog, arrange flowers, listen to music that touches your soul.

4. Ask open-ended questions, such as “What am I feeling? What are my choices? Where am I heading?”

But don’t expect an answer to arrive through some super-natural form of e-mail. “Rarely do I get an immediate answer to my question.” says Reverend Joan Carter, a Presbyterian minister(长老会牧师) in Sausalito, California. “But later that day I suddenly find myself thinking about a problem in a perspective(角度) I never considered before.”

5. While most of us rely on gut(本能的) feeling to realize danger, spiritual intelligence pushes us, not away from, but towards some action that will lead to a greater good.

A. Sit Quietly.

B. Trust Your Spirit.

C. Change Your Spirit.

D. Get Your Spirit Relaxed.

E. Ask Questions of Yourself.

F. Go outside to watch a beautltul sunset.

G. Enjoy the stillness in your home after the kids are finally in bed.

I was a high school student then, from low-income family. So I have to work to support my family. My first one job was to clean tables in a small restaurant. I still remember going there early and felt anxious of the new world. I worked harder because I was afraid of losing the job. At night, I was sometimes very tired to do my homework. And I came to understand this was not easy to earn money, and that knowledge could change my lives. So I think what I learned from the job was much more important as what I earned.
