Holistic Health Is More Than Your Diet

We consume not just food but many other things that are a part of our wellbeing. One’s daily food intake, which should contribute to wellness, may be adversely impacted by many factors.  With regard to food, is your body assimilating what you eat? Can you digest it? What about the other things in our life that affect our health? We are more than a physical body. What affects us emotionally or socially contributes to our wellbeing, or lack thereof. 

Stress, anxiety, and what one listens to, watches, read, thinks and people with whom we interact go into our wellness mix. Many of my clients tell me about the stress factors that prevent them from doing what they know they should for their health. Too many demands lead to fast food, no time to walk, no time to stop. We need to Learn To Be Still. 

Daily we are bombarded by non-stop media, demands of work or other and we fail to take the time for ourselves. This leads to imbalance. Balance is a concept that applies to so many aspects of our lives, but most importantly, to our own life. If we do not prioritize ourselves we will not have balance.

So, I encourage all of you to take the time to Be Still. Sit outside with no phone. Sit with yourself. Breathe. Listen to your body. What is it trying to tell you? Listen. Quiet, for just 15 minutes your racing mind and concerns. Analyze your day. What has drained you? What has uplifted you? What has fed you physically or emotionally? 

We must learn to prioritize our wellbeing – physically and emotionally. It’s ok to choose you. You can’t save someone else if you don’t put on your oxygen mask or life vest first. I gently encourage you to prioritize yourself and your needs. 

So, as summer arrives, take some time to get in touch with yourself. What are you consuming – not just food - that does not feed you? 

Be aware of everything that impacts your wellbeing. We all deserve to live well with love, laughter, joy and good health. You are the one who gets to choose. Choose you.
