Getting Healthy is a Business?
Been listening to the Abundant Mystic Telesummit, enjoying the faculty talk about combining spirit/intuition/heart with business. Actually, they are making the point that spirit and business are just parts of the same, not even on different sides of the coin. They also pointed out that business is a great way to grow as a person.
Business, personal growth, spiritual connection/practice are all part of being a growing, maturing person.
So in that context of “wholeness” as I was thinking about the steps to getting healthy and posting them on the Facebook page, it struck me that the steps to getting healthy are the same steps to setting up and running a business.
Decide. Plan. Get a coach(es). Take action. Invest. Receive. Practice. Be consistent. See results (ROI). Give back.
It’s all there.
So getting healthy, business, personal development, spiritual connection/practice are all part of growing and maturing as a person and all intertwined with each other.
I had never put health and business together in a practical way like that before, nor had I ever looked at health and business with such a positive slant. I have hated the “business” of health since it has done so much to divorce health from care.
But here it is, caring, healing, being spirit-connected business, growing, developing, maturing all working together, becoming.
That’s what I’m talking about. What do YOU think?

Hi Dr Jon,

Living A Holistic Lifestyle
The word holistic was from the Greek word “holos” which means whole, a characteristic or a system is described as a whole and not for each component. Applying it to lifestyle, holistic living would refer to a harmonious and balanced relationship of physical, mental, emotional and spiritual aspects of a living thing or person.
Those who are following a holistic lifestyle recognize that the body, mind and soul are connected. An example would be how physical pains manifest during times of stress or depression. If you would visit a holistic doctor, they would address the causes of the problem rather than deal with the symptoms.
Here are some tips for following a holistic lifestyle.
• Eating right. Your physical and mental wellbeing depends on what food you eat. Holistic nutrition is not only about buying the right food but learning and understanding why they are good for you. Holistic nutrition would help you develop appealing menus good for your overall health.
Holistic nutrition would include organic fruits, vegetables, grains and meat. It is important to avoid processed food, microwavable meals, genetically engineered food, and eating foods at its natural and whole state. It may also be necessary to take vitamins and supplements.
• Exercise. Not only would exercising help the body and lose weight, it would also pump more oxygen to the brain. This would be help in maintaining focus, memory and other brain processes. Exercises and relaxation techniques like breathing could also help in reducing stress and achieving better mind disposition. It does not have to take much of your time, 20 to 30 minutes of walk in the park could help a lot.
• No butts and beers. Living a holistic lifestyle would mean you have to stop smoking and limit your intake, if you cannot stop drinking, alcohol.
• Sleep through the night. Getting enough sleep, which is six to eight hours, will help your body to regenerate. There are different studies showing its importance. In fact, insufficient can cause obesity, hypertension, heart disease, weak immune system, memory loss, diabetes and can speed up aging.
• Managing stress. There are different methods of stress management, it could be through simple breathing and relaxation exercises or through alternative practices like acupuncture or aromatherapy.
• Maintain positive attitude. It is closely related with stress management. Often, we are on our lowest, emotionally, when we are stressed or depressed, it is important to re-evaluate priorities, avoid stressful situations and start laughing.
For some, it may be essential to get a holistic lifestyle coach to help the person maintain the connection and balance among emotions, body and spirit. A holistic lifestyle coach would be person you can collaborate with in your quest to reach your goals.
Holistic lifestyle focuses on different aspects of life like love and relationships, wealth, health and spirituality. Holistic lifestyle tries to address our living imbalances and enable us to take responsibility over our life. The main objective of a holistic lifestyle is living a happy life and the could be the best gift, ever.
