When people hear the term ‘holistic’ they think ‘New Age’. When in fact, it’s a philosophy of wellness. In other words, it considers all aspects of an individual - the body, mind and spirit.
When we think of health, what comes to mind is how exercise, nutrition and other care impacts the physical person. What we often forget is how the mind and our emotions also play a role. It’s this aspect that shapes our values and beliefs, how we handle stress, relationships and whether or not we have a support network. Finally, there’s spirituality, this doesn’t necessarily mean religion, it can simply be a special place or thing that makes you feel calm and peaceful.
