What Constitutes Holistic Living?

Is living all about fulfilling our biological functions?

If you think there’s more to staying alive than breathing, we are, I think, on the same page.

Most people don’t give much thought about how they should live.

If we fail to understand our purpose in life, there is no meaning of our existence.

Human beings are known for their higher intelligence, and it is our consciousness that sets us apart from others.

Conscious living is the key to a happy, fulfilling life.

This article sheds light on how to live a fulfilling life.

Spirit

By spirit, we mostly understand the soul.

You can’t live with your entire being if your spirit is not alive.

For anyone to perform 100 percent, it is essential to connect with their inner spirit.

Soulful living is only possible when you live consciously, focusing all your energy in the present.

When you are not in peace with yourself, your external environment will easily distract you. Whether it is delivering good work or seeking harmony in personal relationships, your spirit plays a vital role in the way you engage with the world.

Difficult phases are a part of living and it is not possible to imagine a life without fear, mistrust, and negativity.

When you begin to live soulfully, you will overcome all challenges to tap into your true potentials.

Heart

Living a fulfilling life does not only concern the spirit.

Your emotional health is as important as your spirituality.

An emotionally fulfilling life begins with you.

It has been observed that we are happier around those who make us smile, so surround yourself with happy people to experience better emotional health.

Other ways to stay emotionally healthy includes adhering to one’s principles, accepting the good, being open to challenges, and appreciating the simple pleasures of life. 

Mind

The mind is another significant faculty that determines our living standards.

To experience wonderful overall health, one cannot simply avoid the mind.

The brain is one of the controlling organ’s of our body.

Some ways you can optimize your brain functions include avoiding sugar, eating a vegetarian plant based diet, managing stress, hanging out with friends, taking adequate amounts of vitamins etc. 

Body

Ultimately, nothing would work if you don’t take care of your body.

Taking care of the body is incomplete without proper exercises.

If you are not a great fan of the gym, you can try out other options like yoga or high-intensity workouts.

Proper physical activities not only stimulate the brain but also make us more productive. People who exercise tend to be happier than others.

Besides, physical activities help you keep your body weight in check.

This means you will have lower risks of contracting serious diseases. 

We all wish to live our lives wholeheartedly, experiencing everything with our body, mind and soul. Take care of your vital faculties – the body, mind, soul, and heart – to initiate powerful changes in your everyday life.
