‘Anti-aging’ is what the new wave of cosmetics and superfoods is all about, and ‘wellness’, as a movement, has truly made its mark in the world. Hair and body care products based on natural ingredients have never before been as popular, and the new age of wellness has individuals choosing lifestyles that synchronize better with healthier choices and living a more natural, positive, balanced and creative ‘life-style’.
The focus of a ‘holistic lifestyle’, a more wellness based lifestyle, is about managing your health better. It is a form of healing that considers the whole person; body, mind, spirit and emotions. Holistic living is a mindset and a way of life. Taking a more holistic approach to health incorporates:
More natural, powerful health therapies (such as botanical medicine, food as medicine, aromatherapy, acupuncture, massage therapy).
A healing environment (enhance your wellbeing in ‘nature’, create a more healing home and workspace).
Being intentional with our thoughts, words and actions (our thoughts dictate how we experience the whole world; choose to think, feel and say kinder words about yourself and others).
Finding healthier emotional outlets (find a healthier way to express your emotions; dance, listen to music, write, sing, paint, build something, etc.).
Following your intuition (do things that service your personal growth - break out of your comfort zone; try something new, travel, take a new job, switch up your routine, etc.).
Practicing mindfulness, gratitude, and embracing the authenticity of the present moment (life is a gift and every second counts, so be grateful for everything – take a deep breath and just be).
Creating healthy habits (engage in physical activity, yoga, hiking, etc.).
Incorporating powerful superfoods in your diet and improving your immune system (treat your body with natural, healthy foods and remedies; eat more natural, whole foods in your diet).
Using products with natural ingredients (choose natural based cosmetics, body care, and cleaning supplies; these chemicals can impact our bodies and emotions).
Doing things that are important to you (be intentional with where you place your energy; focus on things and activities that matter to you).
Indulging in self-care (listen to your body, respect it; if your body needs a break, let it rest, and if you need energy, do some exercise).
Understand the need for a well-balanced lifestyle. Make intentional choices to care for your mind, body and soul.
Learn, grow and improve.
