A Holistic Approach & Feng Shui

I mention using a holistic approach in many of my articles and blog posts. Why? Because your body is made up of systems that work together to enable your health and well being. But it does not stop there, your environment has an impact on how you feel.

If you live in a chaotic filled environment chances are there is a lot of negative energy flowing your way. If you think of this as hokus - pokus then perhaps the concepts of Feng Shui do not interest you. However, it has been proven time and again the environment that you live in effects how you feel emotionally and mentally. That of course can impact on how you feel physically.

Back to losing weight and maintaining your desired weight with a holistic approach....if you want to lose weight you need to work with all systems that can impact it. This of course means that you will need to assess your life in general.

You should determine what has led to your weight gain and work at eliminating the root causes. Ideally you should start with a visit to your doctor. It is very possible there is a physical/medical issue contributing to your weight issues.

Then you will need to address other areas of your life. Consider your emotional and mental state. Many people deal with stress by eating. If you consider your daily life to be stressful then you should explore the causes of the stress. Next you will want to limit or eliminate those stressful factors.

Many diet programs seem to add to the stress level because they cannot smoothly be incorporated into an existing lifestyle. Take all of these things into consideration when you are choosing a weight management program.

You are likely to find that the simpler plans work the best. Although this post is not an ad for my own weight management toolkit I will say that I took all of those things into consideration when I created it. The toolkit is only $11 and it is money well spent.

Whatever course of action you take when working to lose weight do be sure to keep in mind that your weight issue is impacted by everything else in your life. Explore what is having a positive impact as well as what is having a negative impact. Then all you need to do is balance things out.
