Holistic Living for Your Mind, Body, and Spirit

Natural living encompasses so much for your overall health and wellness. Some people 
think about natural living as the way they eat, others consider it about the cleaning 
products they use. But in reality, it is going to help your mind, body, and spirit all at 
once.


Defining Holistic Living for You

What do you think of when you think of holistic or natural living? It is really important to 
make this distinction first, because it means something different for everyone. It might 
depend on your current lifestyle and where you are now. Think about what you want to 
improve in your life to make it more natural. For some people, they think of holistic living 
as eating clean foods and using less technology, while other people are focused more 
on preventative care with things like natural herbs, essential oils, and other forms of 
alternative medicine.


Holistic Body

For a more holistic body, it often starts with what you put on and in your body. For 
natural foods and products, you are looking for less chemicals and additives, and more 
natural ingredients. Your body wants more natural products that come from the earth, 
so think about what is made organically that you can use on or in your body.

Consumption is a big part of holistic living, which includes organic produce, farm fresh 
eggs, local meat and poultry, and anything organically grown. You can add in exercise 
as a way to move your body and keep a healthy body, while using natural products on 
your hair and skin.


Holistic Mind

There are also some choices that help you develop a more holistic mind and mental 
health, such as writing in a journal, meditating, or practicing mindfulness. You can start 
using essential oils to relax instead of other medications, or gradually begin working on 
a yoga routine that helps you feel centered and balanced. 

An easy way to figure out what your mind needs right now is to think about ways in 
which you are stressed, anxious, or struggling with your feelings or emotions. This can 
help you figure out which direction to go.


Holistic Spirit

Your spirit connection is going to be similar to the activities you use for your mind. 
However, it expands more your soul and spirit, such as self-care and participating in 
activities that help you re-energize and feel more balance in your health and life. Many 
people turn to things like yoga or Pilates, meditation, a spirit practice, or grounding for 
their spirit and soul.
