Welcome, beautiful soul, to the safe space where we explore the magic of holistic living. Everything I share comes from my journey – a journey that led me from struggling daily with anxiety to embracing holistic living. It all started with the idea of finding my why and letting it guide the way.

Why did I start this blog, you ask?

• Because when you love something, you do it every day.
• When you do it every day, you improve.
• When you improve, you become the best version of yourself.

Remember, that self-development is an ongoing adventure, not a final destination. Each day brings new lessons and opportunities to grow. Sharing my story is my way of becoming the best I can be and hopefully supporting you on your unique journey.

My holistic living journey started when anxiety tried to take over my life. Dealing with it daily was a constant struggle, and I was obsessed with finding solutions. I tried everything from traditional therapies to alternative approaches. And if I say everything, I mean EVERYTHING (but I will go into that later). I was so determined to find a solution without relying on medication because deep down, I knew this would not fix the root problem. There was this little voice in my head, who constantly said that you can do it, you will find a way! And that’s where my journey begins.

So, what exactly is holistic living?

Holistic living is a lifestyle that unites your mind, body, and soul – a beautiful dance where everything is connected. It is all about understanding that all parts of us are deeply connected and impact each other. Like everything in nature – everything needs to be in harmony for us to truly thrive.

My personal journey into harmony was through meditation and yoga, but remember holistic living isn’t about turning into a yoga master and meditation guru. It is a journey of self-discovery, figuring out what keeps YOUR unique balance. Whether it is through yoga, weightlifting, or other activities. When you take care of your mind, body, and soul, you create a more balanced, harmonious, and healthy life!

Now let’s explore the fundamentals of living a holistic lifestyle:

Mind 

• Practice mindfulness – whether it’s a bit of meditation, mindful eating, or walks in nature – anything that brings you into the present moment counts. Living in the now is the only thing which we have. Enjoy the moment and appreciate the things around you.
• Minimize negative thoughts – practice positive thinking, even in the face of challenges. Yes, yes, yes I know…it’s easier said than done. Count your blessings when times get tough – you are breathing, you have food in your fridge, and you are surrounded by loved ones. It’s a game-changer for your mental well-being!
• Continuous learning – engage your mind with new knowledge. Whether it is reading books, or attending workshops or courses. Learning stimulates mental agility and growth.

Body 

• Eat whole, organic foods – strive to eat clean 80% of the time, and allow yourself 20% guilt-free with your favorite treats. For me, it’s pistachio ice cream and almond croissants – yum!
• Daily movement – find out what works for you the best and do it at least 30 minutes a day. Whether it is yoga lifting weights or simply walking in nature. Speaking of nature – find ways to go outdoors at least ONCE a day! Nature does wonders for our whole being.
• Plenty of sleep – aim to sleep 7-9 hours of beauty sleep. It’s a non-negotiable for a healthy lifestyle.

Soul 

• Find your purpose – simply chasing after money, power, or trends will always keep you wanting more and never be at peace. When you know your purpose, it becomes easier to stay on track.
• Connect with nature – nature can nurture the soul. The ocean cleanses us, the forest gives us serenity, and the mountains offer strength. Nature offers us a unique power to rejuvenate and ground us.
• Practice gratitude –make a habit of daily gratitude. Acknowledge the little and big things you’re thankful for. Every morning I count my blessings for the past 24 hours. You can also do it before going to bed too by thanking the Universe for the beautiful moments in your life.

Final thoughts

Remember, holistic living is a journey and not a destination. There will be times when you feel like giving up, but remember your WHY, and I know you will push through! Aligning your mind, body, and soul is the best gift you can give yourself. I am rooting for you!
