What is Holistic Approach and Why is it Better than Other Approaches

people talking

“Health is a state of complete harmony of the body, mind, and spirit. When one is free from physical disabilities and mental distractions, the gates of the soul open.”

– B.K.S. Iyengar

The mind and body are often seen as two individual components.

When faced with overwhelming emotions, we focus on finding a mental solution and don’t really think about the physical aspects of the situation.

And similarly, in cases of physical illnesses, our mind rarely wanders to the mental solutions that can help. holistic approach

However, in reality, everything inside our body, from thoughts, feelings, and emotions to behaviors and physical symptoms, is connected more deeply than we usually understand and the change in one greatly affects the other. And our well-being is affected by this connection within our body and the connections we have with all the other aspects of our life as well.

Looking at yourself as a whole and knowing the importance of these connections allows you to achieve maximum well-being by focusing on not only one or two but all areas of your life, which is all the holistic approach is about.

A holistic approach is an approach towards improving you as a whole person rather than just fixing the specific areas of your life.

Instead of only masking the issue at hand by focusing on providing treatment to the specific area, a holistic approach investigates the root causes by addressing the health and lifestyle factors of the whole person.

A holistic approach towards wellbeing provides much better results as it allows you to focus on the bigger picture and see what other things you might have missed that led you to develop specific problems in life. And most importantly, it teaches you how you can focus on those areas for improvement.

Other than mental or physical health, nutrition, exercise, social life, sleep patterns, job satisfaction, stress levels, and emotional wellbeing etc. all play their part in bringing a person closer to their desired wellbeing or further away from it and focusing on this bigger picture is what allows a person to achieve maximum wellbeing in their life.
