I felt the pull towards improving my health, by eating organic whole foods and giving up sugar. I wanted to nourish my spirit, through meditation, expressing my creativity with writing and art. The same inner drive was encouraging me to take up yoga and walk in nature.
I am gradually incorporating all that I believe I need to make my life whole. I don't want to give anyone the idea that I have it all figured out, I am continually learning and working on incorporating all the components of my idea of a wholesome life. Many have only been achieved after years of persistence and practice, but there are still more to go. Hopefully, by sharing my experiences and ideas with readers, I can inspire others.
My three tips to lead a wholesome and fulfilling life:
1. Find out what it is that will make your life whole. What is it that makes your heart sing and your spirit jump for joy? Do you love cooking, growing your own food, painting or walks on the beach. Whatever it is that you feel pulled towards, pay attention and work towards it.
2. Don't take it all on at once. I have lots of aspects of my life that I have been working towards for a while. I have tried to instigate everything at once but it is often harder to maintain. I have had more success making a single change and persisting with it. If the change is simple and easy to incorporate into my life the greater my success.
3. Don't give yourself a hard time if you are not successful straight away. Those things that are really worth incorporating into your life, will fall into place with time and persistence. It took me three years to finally switch to organic food permanently the first few efforts were not sustained, however, it did eventually fall into place.
Once you know what it is you want for your life then work towards it, don't give up. Keep smiling and enjoy your wholesome life.
that's beautiful Carly, just like you :)
