True Health with Holistic Self-Care

How to Build a Commitment to Holistic Self-Care

by Sam Suska

Most of us can agree that happiness, inner peace and overall ‘health’ are respectable, widely agreed upon general goals for life. They are meaningful, attainable and rationally determined when we investigate the specific and seemingly superficial goals that many people also report. People tend to report happiness as a direct goal of life or they claim to seek wealth and possessions that facilitates this overall feeling. It appears to be that the pursuit of happiness, which can easily be misguided, is a general approach to life for the majority of the population.

Inner peace is usually not a direct goal of life, as this is a sub-conscious characteristic marked by patience, positivity and faith in self-empowerment; when people lack this trait internal conflict is bound to emerge and negatively impact quality of life. Inner conflict occurs when one's sub-conscious has not fully adjusted to the experiences, 'stressors' and adversity presented to and within the person in the past or present. Inner conflict or the lack of inner peace is generally signified by an inability to focus, frustration, hostility and general negativity among other traits. Inner peace is a deep sense that builds a foundation for the person to maximize potential in life and possibly even reach success in many ways never imagined.

Overall ‘health’ includes the mind and the body and is generally expressed by seemingly endless natural energy or the opposite which includes disorders, symptoms, illness and disease. This implies that most people think of ‘health’ as whether or not someone has noticeable signs that can be described as one of the preceding problems. That is a seriously flawed and highly subjective way to define ‘health’; therefore the first step in building a commitment to ‘holistic self-care’ is by specifically defining 'health' and keeping in mind that this is the focus and intention of this potentially life altering lifestyle.

In order to reach happiness, inner peace and overall ‘health’ one starts by defining ‘health’ followed by taking the next step to form basic holistic-minded principles which promote the holistic-minded definition of ‘health’. We have to analyze the overall goals of life and determine how and why these emerge and persevere. They appear to be dependent on the underlying state of the person, or the state of each aspect of the whole ‘being’.

The whole ‘being’ includes the physical body, the conscious mind and the sub-conscious realm we will refer to as the spirit; these entities work together and integrate to form the overall state of the whole whole 'being'. Therefore, we need to show the whole ‘being’ loving care and attention on a daily basis by making ‘optimal choices’ which promote the specific states of mind, body, spirit that form the optimal state of the whole 'being' enabling happiness, inner peace and overall ‘health’. We will determine the overall state of the person and the individual states of mind, body and spirit that appear to determine happiness, inner peace and overall ‘health’ and whether or not one reaches the goals of life.

At this point we form the entire holistic-minded philosophy we will use to approach life and the choices we have to make in performing and fulfilling the ‘basic functions’. The approach to life is shaped by the holistic-minded intention we apply to ourselves on a daily, continuous basis in order to reach and maintain these deeply meaningful goals in life which have a multitude of positive side-effects including, but not limited to humility, security with one’s self, focus, increased production with helpfulness, kindness and compassion to and for others.

Building familiarity and knowledge of the holistic-minded philosophy is rather simple, practical and realistic for virtually all people with an open-mind and a willingness to take ‘control’ over their health and happiness. Implementing this lifestyle with powerful, happiness and ‘health’ promoting holistic-minded intentions is a well thought process which is detailed in the ‘Stages of Empowerment’.

The progression through the ‘Stages of Empowerment’ is different for everyone, but will always be rewarding with potential to improve quality of life and reach the basic goals of happiness, inner peace and overall ‘health’. As we become more consistent and dedicated to holistic-minded intention we will stabilize our states of mind, body and spirit which work together in forming the overall state of ‘being’ and create and enable an increased quality of life with happiness, inner peace, overall ‘health’ and the positive side-effects like self-security, humility, production and helpfulness and compassion to others.
