What it Means to Live Holistically

When we talk about living more holistically, it means to live more naturally. You are 
connecting your mind, body, and spirit, reducing waste, encouraging natural remedies, 
and improving your overall wellness. There are so many different ways to incorporate 
holistic living into your life, but here are some things to understand about this lifestyle.


Benefits of Living More Holistically

Not sure why you should live a more natural and holistic lifestyle? Here are some of the 
top benefits:

Preventative medicine – Natural living is often confused with never going to the doctor 
again. This is not true! Instead, it is more of a way to manage your health and prevent 
the need for conventional medicine, but you should still see your doctor if and when 
needed.

Less chemicals, additives, and artificial ingredients – The more natural you are, the 
less toxins, chemicals, and additives you are going to have in your food, cleaning 
supplies, and personal care products.

You can save money – Think of all the specialty items you no longer have to purchase 
when you begin reducing waste and living more holistically!

Overall wellness and health – Living a more natural and holistic lifestyle is not about 
being perfect, but instead just to improve your life. It is an amazing way to live a 
healthier life and work on overall wellness for your mind and body.



Knowing What You Need to Change

Holistic and natural are very broad terms that might mean different things to different 
people. To avoid becoming overwhelmed, it helps to understand some different simple 
ways to make changes.

Consider what your lifestyle is right now. Take a few days to journal what you tend to do 
from morning to evening. Add all the food, self care products, cleaning products, and 
everything else you use. What are your habits? Do the foods you eat contain a lot of 
unnecessary ingredients? Do you take a lot of over-the-counter medications? This is all 
important information to figure out how to live more holistically by making small 
changes.


Small Steps Make Big Improvements

For big improvements in your life, it takes small and simple steps. Do not attempt to 
change every single element of your life, replace all cleaning products, switch to all-
natural skincare products, and never eat a processed food ever again. This is not 
sustainable. Choose one small thing to change at a time, then when you get used to this 
new way of living, you can change the next thing.
