M&M has been
asked on many occasions about the name of my company.
Why “M&M Holistic
Wellness Centre?”
The definition of
“Holistic Wellness” is about:
Ø
The treatment of the whole person and not
just the symptoms
Ø
the relief from pain
and disease, sometimes caused by an allergy or intolerance to food
Ø
healing the cause not
the symptom with good nutrition
Ø
an active process of
becoming aware of, and making choices towards, a more successful existence
Ø
the constant and
conscious pursuit of living life to its fullest potential
Every human being
deserves the right to clean air, clean water, food and sleep. However, some of
these desires are not free and have to be paid for; so the cycle of working, to
earn a salary, to buy these needs begins. To have money over to spend on
leisure and luxuries would be ideal. So the saying “Need to have or nice to
have” comes to mind.
Social support either
from a family or government, safety and security, and access to health services
and facilities when we are unwell all play a major role in Wellness.
Your state of mind should
be free from mental abuse of any kind, neglect, and addictions. Security of
employment or retrenchment has an impact on your financial status which creates
pressure on your mental wellbeing. Your emotional health depends on the
positive and negative events and situations at the present time. In other words
family trauma or drama, a death or divorce, immigration or major changes to
your daily routine will all contribute to how you view the world. Counseling by
experts is the only way to get back on track when your emotional state of mind
is unbalanced.
Your physical
wellbeing should include an eating plan that sustains
your body through any kind of activity to prevent burn out, malnutrition, overweight or create a physical condition like, hypertension,
diabetes, stroke etc. To keep optimum fitness levels, choose an activity that
you enjoy and want to continue like active hobbies or some kind of movement
like dancing, walking, or swimming .
Your spiritual needs
are part of your Healthy Lifestyle as well. No matter what your beliefs are,
morals, customs or traditions, your faith or religion must be sound.
Your environment must
be free of pollution and not expose you to harmful chemicals. This includes the
harmful chemicals like pesticides, hormones, herbicides etc in our food.
Exposures to the media like television, newspapers, magazines, radio, billboards
etc, have a major impact on the way we view ourselves in society. To look like
many of these images, is actually impossible, Most of the magazine models you
see have had air brush paint work added to make them look perfect.
Unfortunately people with low self esteem aspire to these images which in
actual fact are more like fantasy than reality.
All the basic needs
mentioned above are vital in order to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Identify
which of your “needs” are out of balance and work towards making an
improvement.
“Rome was not built in a day”, and you are not going to solve all your needs in a
day either.
It takes time, but as
long as your nutrition is good, you will manage. Sometimes you become so over
whelmed that you can’t see the wood for the trees.
