Getting Started with Holistic Living

If you are new to the holistic way of living, and aren’t quite sure how to start, this mini 
guide will help. You are going to learn about the importance of hydration, switching to  
more natural products, and some additional holistic habits to add into your life.


It All Starts with Water

Over half of your body is made up of water, so it makes sense that you need a lot of 
water continuously throughout the day in order to function smoothly. Water helps you 
stay hydrated, gives you natural energy, is amazing for your skin, and can keep you 
from snacking too much. Almost any issue you face externally or internally can at least 
be somewhat improved by drinking more water. 


Use Natural Products

To live a more holistic life, begin buying more natural products with clean ingredient, 
and reducing chemicals and additives. This includes a wide range of products, including 
cleaning, skincare, beauty, and so much more. There are over-the-counter natural 
options for just about everything you use in your life, from kitchen cleaners and air 
fresheners, to moisturizers and shampoo. Don’t try to do everything at once, but start 
changing one product at a time.

When you run out of something and go to the store to get more, just try to choose a 
more natural or organic option.


Feed Your Body Clean Ingredients

Begin switching to a cleaner diet made up mostly of whole foods and unprocessed 
meals that you cook in your home. This is such an easy way to live a more natural 
lifestyle, simply by not eating too many processed, prepackaged, and frozen foods. It 
will be healthier, save you money, and you will feel so much better. Plus it feels great 
when you feed your kids more homecooked meals.


Focus on Holistic Mind and Spirit Connections

It is also helpful to start focusing on your mind and spirit connections. This includes 
practicing mindfulness and meditation, unplugging from technology, reading more from 
real books, and writing in a journal. You want to choose activities that improve your 
emotional and mental health, expand your mind, help you learn, and help you get more 
in touch with yourself.

Maybe you spend all your time indoors and want some fresh air and vitamin D, so you 
choose to spend time outdoors as much as you can. Or you are under a lot of stress, 
and start journaling to get to the bottom of it. Use your current struggles to decide what 
will be the best option for you.
