Lifestyle and Holistic Health
Lifestyle
The word lifestyle can be defined as one's approach to living or pattern of living. It is your overall life attitude and habits. At Portland Lifestyle Counseling I can help you examine your current lifestyle with an eye on wellness. Let me help you determine where adjustments can be made and create a fresh and balanced lifestyle plan that encompasses your wellness goals. Would you like a more active lifestyle that might improve your overall wellbeing? Would you like to create a more spiritual centered lifestyle to help you with relaxation? Or would you like a lifestyle that supports your self care needs first so you can better help those you care for? These are just some of the ways lifestyle counseling can help.
Holistic Health
Holistic health is a perspective and practice that focuses on wellness. Wellness is more than the absence of illness, eating healthy foods, and exercising, it is the achievement of optimal health and balance in all areas of your life - physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual.
Holistic health blends exercise, healthy meals, and wellness practices into an integrated system of practices that promote balance and relationship in all areas of your life. The integrated study of psychoneuromimmunology, stress physiology, and other integrated health sciences show a relationship between emotional stress, thinking patterns, and body physiology. This relationship plays an important role in physical health and wellness.
Portland Lifestyle Counseling is committed to healthy lifestyle, holistic health, and the achievement of your wellness goals. Holistic health investigations can help you examine and modify:
- Current state of wellness - physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually
- Food choices and types of meals
- Eating style and relationship to food
- Nutrition
- Exercise routine
- Stress management and coping skills
- Relaxation methods
- And more
Upon completion you will have doable wellness goals, a lifestyle and holistic health plan specially tailored to you, skills for daily practice, and increased ability to put your health and yourself first.
