What is a Holistic Lifestyle?

“Holistic” means whole, and in the human sense, that includes the three layers of being that we all are made of:

Body
Mind
Soul/Spirit

“Lifestyle” means the way you live your life, the habits and routines that make up your daily existence. If you do the same things every day in a certain way, that is what creates a lifestyle. This can include:

Habits
Morning routines
Nighttime routines
The diet you eat regularly
Exercises you do regularly
Hobbies you spend time doing
Values by which you live your life

So, when you live a holistic lifestyle, you are paying attention to all three areas of body, mind, and soul/spirit. These will be in balance when you are living holistically. And these will also be aligned with nature, which is what makes them healthy. Let’s look at two fictitious examples:

These are extreme examples of just a few of the differences in lifestyles of an unhealthy person and a healthy person. This is by no means an entire list and most people fall in between these two examples.

Now let’s get to the benefits!

Holistic Lifestyle Benefits

Once someone starts to implement healthy habits, routines, food, exercises, hobbies, and values into their lifestyle, they will start to notice results and reap the benefits. These will vary from person to person, of course, because our bodies, environments, and situations are different. This is why not everyone gets the same results from eating the same diet, for example.

Physical Benefits

Less chances of developing disease and chronic illnesses
Reduced symptoms of pre-existing health conditions
Weight/fat loss
More muscle tone
Better sleep
Better digestion

Mental Benefits

Less stress
Less anxiety and/or panic attacks
Less depression
Less chances of developing mental illnesses
Clearer thinking and easier decision making
Balanced moods
Higher quality relationships that are fulfilling

Spiritual Benefits

Deeper connection to your higher self
Deeper connection to nature
Deeper connection to the Universe
Deeper connection to the higher power of your choice
Increased life satisfaction by living your soul’s purpose

What Problems Can a Holistic Lifestyle Solve?

As you can see, living a holistic lifestyle covers all areas of your life. It can help with the vast majority of physical, mental, and spiritual issues. Here is a general list of the many problems a holistic lifestyle can solve.

Dependence on medications for chronic illnesses
Being overweight
Fatigue
Poor sleep
Poor digestion (this alone includes many more specific issues such as gas, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, etc.)
Stress
Anxiety and Panic attacks
Depression
Brain fog
Anger issues
Disconnection from your authentic self (usually seen as dependence, apathy, boredom, lack of interests and hobbies, etc.)
Disconnection from nature (which really manifests as depression, anxiety, Vitamin D deficiency, poor sleep, etc.)
Disconnection from the Universe as a whole
Suicidal thoughts
Lack of direction
Inability to make decisions
Lack of motivation
Lack of meaning in life
Lack of empathy and compassion for other living things (people, plants, animals, the Earth)

So, as you can see, there isn’t really a part of your life that can’t be improved by living a holistic lifestyle in alignment with nature. It really touches every aspect of life.
