Holistic life addresses all aspects of self – physical, mental, emotional, social, and spiritual – as these elements are interconnected. For example, if you are experiencing prolonged grief, which can turn into suffering, you may experience physical symptoms such as fatigue, restlessness, stomach pain, or joint pain. This is most often because emotional and physical pain exists in the same area of the brain.
The father of the psychotherapeutic approach to logotherapy (the theory that human nature is motivated by meaning and purpose), Dr. Viktor Frankl (neurologist and psychiatrist), believed that lack of meaning and purpose can lead to suffering, mental health issues, and emotional and physical pain. If we accept that our main objective is to live happy and healthy lives, holistic living can also help us become connected to ourselves and the world, enabling us to be more mindful, appreciative, aware, and balanced.
If you are a CEO of the company but your family life / social life is not good you can not expect to live joyfully. If you are earning in millions but your health is not good. You are on so many different colored pills you can’t enjoy life.
If you are not able to enjoy what you do or find meaning you will find that emptiness in life.
Let’s manage our time in such a way to live life holistically so that our life becomes an inspiration for many.
Holistic living is all about taking care of the various aspects of life. Physical (Health). Social (Family and friends). Mental (able to maintain balance in different situations of life), emotional (managing your feelings and emotions), and finally spiritual (Able to connect with self and find a meaning of your existence, Making a difference/contribution to other’s life).
Moreover, Holistic living can enhance your overall well-being and lead to longevity.
