Some key practices for holistic healing are provided below:*
Stop judging others: Forgiveness is one of the keys to being a whole and well person. Cultivating it allows you to live in the present moment. It's impossible to connect with other people if we constantly set unrealistic standards for them. So stop holding grudges. Quit ruminating. Forgive.
Stop judging yourself: Our self judgements influence our well-being. The most important thing in the wellness game is to learn to get out of your head. The endless chatter of thought can be exhausting. Learn to hold thoughts briefly before letting go. Dealing with our sense of guilt and self-criticism is the path to personal wholeness and connecting with others.
Be permeable: It's OK - it's good, even -- to feel sad, hurt or angry about something. But you shouldn't hold onto these feeling for very long. Here we can look to the example of children, who can go from temper tantrum to fits of laughter in an instant.
Find your you triggers: Joy is a choice that can be life changing. Find the things that make you happy and make them part of your life.
