As an ardent follower of living right, I’ve always focused on not limiting myself to just the physical aspect when it comes to good health. People often forget that being healthy is also about the state of your mind, daily routine, healthy habits, positive thoughts and harmony with your environment. This is known as ‘holistic health’ as it aims at improving all the aspects of your health – physical, emotional, mental, spiritual and psychological. My commitment to this vision of inspiring people to transform their lives became even more ironclad when I wrote a guidebook to help people.
Here is a collection of the 10 of my favourite quotes to support and inspire all the brave souls on their journey to living a balanced life:
“Keeping your body healthy is an expression of gratitude to the whole cosmos- the trees, the clouds, everything.”
– Thich Nhat Hanh
“The best six doctors anywhere – and no one can deny it – are sunshine, water, rest, air, exercise and diet.”
– Wayne Fields
“The body heals with play, the mind heals with laughter and the spirit heals with joy.”
– Unknown
“Health is a state of complete mental, social and physical well-being, not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.”
– World Health Organization, 1948
“The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will instruct his patients in the care of the human frame, in diet and in the cause and prevention of disease.”
– Thomas Edison
“Wellness encompasses a healthy body, a sound mind and a tranquil spirit. Enjoy the journey as you strive for wellness.”
– Laurette Gagnon Beaulieu
“Want to know one of the most rewarding and holistic ways to heal & make significant life choices that will fully align? Learning to slow down, breath, think, journal, talk, and process before reacting. Knowing you have worked through the issue, be it mentally, emotionally or spiritually, before taking action lets you write the script of your life how you want. Which in turn gives you the best chance of achieving your dreams”
― Natasha Potter
“Ayurveda is not just a few medicines or a few scriptures, but a holistic total lifestyle deeply involved with yoga, meditation, food habits and epigenetic social cultures.”
― Amit Ray, Yoga The Science of Well-Being
“A vibrant body, a radiant mind, a loving heart, and an honorable life.”
― Stefan Emunds
“Health is a state of complete harmony of the body, mind and spirit. When one is free from physical disabilities and mental distractions, the gates of the soul open.”
– B.K.S. Iyengar
