DESCRIPTION
An attempt to help my friends to work towards building resolutions for a Holistic Healthy lifeTRANSCRIPT
Holistic Health
The reason behind the idea.
• The idea of holistic health has always existed but its high time for us to consider working towards it CONSCIOUSLY AND DELIBERATELY failing which we will end up weakening it UNKNOWINGLY AND UN INTENTIONALLY.
The reasons…..
• Physical health can detoriate due to changing life styles, food and work habits
• Emotional health can worsen if stress is not addressed at work or in life
• Finances need to be handled as jobs become more insecure and money is loosing value due to inflation
• Social health needs to be looked into as social networking is replacing real networking and FB likes are representative of ones popularity and social acceptability. After all we cant live a life sitting In front of a smart phone or a computer.
• Spiritual health is related to one becoming aware about himself and the pursue the process of identifying himself with the true self. Be able to lead a life filled with Joy, Compassion, love, Integrity.
• Mental health will be affected if other health's are not in order
Now its high time that we look at health from all directions after all its one life for all. !
