Hello world!!!
Welcome to Striving for Wellness. I am Ashleigh and I’m working to find and solidify myself as a person in a more positive way. In doing so, I’ve discovered “holistic living”. I dont know about you, but I have always been misled about what holistic living really is. (W)Holistic living is the act of having all four parts of your self in alignment to achieve the goal of “wellness”.
The four parts of self which must be aglined are: physical, mental, spiritual, and emotional. The AHHA decribes them as:
- Physical you(your body)–your tangible structure and the five senses which enable you to touch, see, hear, smell and taste the world around you
- Emotional you(your feelings)–your range of emotions from fear and anger to love and joy
- Mental you(your thoughts)–your knowledge, attitudes and beliefs; your analytical self
- Spiritual you (your spirit )–your relationship with yourself, your creativity, your life purpose, and your relationship with a Higher Power.
All of these aspects work together to make you a whole person. What happens to one aspect can affect all the other aspects.”
Think of it as a team. If all the players on the team are in balance then the tell should be “WELL”.
I’m embarking on this journer to a better me, simply, I’m Striving for Wellness. I hope you will join me on indulging in this new outlook on life.
Love, peace, happiness.

Love it!! Totally agree! I am on the same journey but wasn’t aware it had a name!
Lol, funny I said the EXACT same thing. Now that we know the name maybe that will allow us to get more resources and support one another in our common goal. =)
Very good Ash. I also have been working on the same thing, writing a book and all. Congrats to you! <3 u if you need me you know how to find me. I salute your journey!
Really?! I want to know more about your book and transition to holistic living 🙂
Good luck with all of it!!!! <3
