Hi, this is Kari from the Holistic Health Hub here in downtown DeWitt. I am a Holistic
Health Practitioner. I specialize in helping to create health and wellness.
So many people these days either have an illness themselves or have a family member that does. Our goal at the Holistic Health Hub is to help people find ways to maintain good health or get back to health if they are struggling with symptoms. Today I want to share some ideas and tips with you. We believe that if we can help and teach people to be healthier the whole community benefits.
I believe that health is more than merely the absence of disease. It is total state of physical, mental, emotional, spiritual and social well-being. We like to call it Holistic Health – and the Mind, Body, Soul Connection. Wholistic is the philosophy that all parts are interconnected. In holistic medicine, wholistic treatment is the treatment of a person as a whole.
When we look at all of these parts as interconnected, we can then implement holistic thinking, lifestyle, and actions to bring about whole-wellness. Holistic health is known mostly for its use in natural therapies, and the benefits we notice when looking at all physical, emotional, mental and spiritual connections.
Commonly when we think about health, diet and exercise are typically the first things that come to mind. However, good health isn’t just about the physical body. Our mind and body are interconnected and affect each other tremendously. For example, a stressful situation causing negative thoughts can lead to physical pain or illness. It’s important to maintain a healthy balance between your mind, body, and soul by nurturing your whole self, including your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual needs. Living with holistic lifestyle passion & purpose helps achieve optimal wellness; one must apply it towards every possible endeavor. You can apply a wellness approach towards your health, physical and emotional health, healthy eating, physical activities, self-care, self-esteem, belief systems, environment, community, career, and creative activities. Applying wellness in your everyday life will allow you to achieve your full potential and live with that holistic passion and purpose. Plus, you Regain and Retain Your Health and Wellness.
There are many things you can do in your daily life to achieve overall wellness. As you start applying this philosophy to your daily life all those small changes will start to create big health improvements over time. Holistic healing often takes a team approach that addresses all aspects of life and uses a variety of natural healthcare therapies and practices. A balanced approach may include complementary therapies such as naturopathy, holistic consultations, homeopathy, biofeedback therapy, chiropractic care, massage therapy, health coaching, stress reduction techniques, detox, and many other therapies.
Here are a few simple tips to begin cultivating a holistic mind-body-soul balance.
Opt for natural remedies whenever you can. With the guidance of a holistic health practitioner, supplements, herbs, the right foods, homeopathics and essential oils can be very healing.
Avoid as many toxins and chemical exposures as possible.
Opt for healthy foods as much as you can! Food is what our bodies are built from. Are you building healthy cells from good foods ~ or making cells from processed fast chemical foods?
Change major sources of stress out of your life. This can be hard to change but it will make a huge difference in your overall health. Stress is very hard on the body.
Meditate and pray regularly. You will be amazed at how much this practice will help your health ~ mind, body and soul.
Exercise & move often. We want you to get movement and activity into your daily life. Most people are so sedentary these days it has a huge negative impact on our health, our mind, body and soul. So just move. =)
Self-care every day. Most of us know many of the things that help us create health and know things we can do to reduce our stress, so start with making one improvement every day. That health habit will build to the next healthy habit.
Small consistent improvements will equal big results over time! Love yourself, and your family, and your community enough to love yourself whole health again.
I hope this encourages you that you can make a difference for your own health, the health of your family and the health of our community. When you feel healthier ~ you work better = everyone benefits.
