The Shift Towards Holistic Well-Being<\/span><\/h2>\n

What is well-being? Put simply, it\u2019s an overall state of wellness and happiness. In modern health circles, support for taking a holistic approach to individual well-being is growing.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to St. Katherine University, \u201cholism\u201d refers to the theory that all parts of a whole are intimately connected.<\/span> So, if you hyperfocus on just one aspect of your health\u2014for example, your physical fitness\u2014and neglect other equally important pillars of your total well-being, such as your mental health or social connections, you may not see overall improvement.<\/span><\/p>\n

The shift towards holistic well-being is partly in response to the pandemic\u2019s impact on healthy lifestyle habits<\/a> and privileges we took for granted, as well as its impact on mental health. According to a 2021 study, rates of anxiety, depression, and substance abuse disorder increased since the pandemic, and 10% of survey respondents felt their mental health needs were underserved.<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

By taking a holistic approach to health, individuals can examine all the various aspects\u2014physical, mental, emotional, and beyond\u2014that contribute an overall sense of well-being and make adjustments to nurture the unfulfilled components.<\/span><\/p>\n

Our mental health might be the most complex of all the pillars of holistic well-being. Mental well-being encompasses our emotional, psychological, and social health. When the mental state is compromised or undernourished, it may result in anxiety, depression, and other chronic mental disorders.<\/span><\/p>\n

The CDC states that mental health plays a significant role in overall body health. For example, depression increases the risk of long-term physical health conditions like diabetes and heart disease.<\/span><\/p>\n

To cultivate your mental resilience and better protect yourself from the harmful effects of anxiety and depression, holistic health experts recommend the following strategies:<\/span><\/p>\n
