8 Parameters to balance for a Holistic Happy Life

We recently attended a short web course on holistic health and happiness. The take away from the course were these 8 most important parameters that we need to balance- for a happy and content life. We are pleased to share these in a gist with our readers.

As per Vishen Lakhiani of Mind Valley, once you go deeper into these 8 areas of life, you are basically setting goals. Working on these goals only makes you a balanced individual in 8 distinct areas of life to change it to nothing but extraordinary.

1. Good food, good workouts, and external appearance – If junk food can kill you, good food can heal you. Healthy foods and regular exercising not only change your hormones for the better, reduce inflammation in the body and speeding up the metabolism but also uplifts your mood and makes one feel more active to achieve life goals overall.

   Balancing this parameter in life in a way that it is not too much and not even too less is the trick to effortlessly meet your goals and pay tribute to the body you live in. When we talk about bringing a balance in our external appearance, we mean to bring focus on the grooming standards in order to elevate your confidence levels.

2. Knowledge and skill-building – A growth-oriented life is always an enriching one. Investing time, money and energy in developing your talents and skills and also, to stay updated and gain knowledge that is relevant to you is really important to be able to succeed. Ensuring a balance of sources that would add to your knowledge and skill building activities is an important parameter for sure.

3. Spiritual enlightenment – We cannot deny the fact that there is a superpower which is guiding our lives and showing as the divine path. Sometimes, we do not have justifications two events in life. But we definitely have the power to convert situations, certain circumstances, and experiences to our benefit in some way or another. Spiritual enlightenment includes daily effective practices like meditation, prayers, following spiritual leaders and practicing certain religions in a way that you are uplifted to be able to carve your way out in the toughest of situations. You are free to experience several ways of bringing yourself the much-needed spiritual enlightenment and stick to the one that suits you the best.

4. Relationships and bonds – The relationship that we have with our friends, family, and colleagues do determine the kind of life we have. Having a balanced and uplifting relationship with people around is an important parameter in improving our life on a whole.

5. Love life – A good better half can make or break your life and that is true! A true lover is the one who does a lot more than sweet talking and sex. A good marriage or relationship is when the two improve each other’s life situation and focus on holistic growth and development.

6. Finances and career – A career that gives you ultimate happiness and satisfaction along with paying your bills is what one should ultimately seek to have.

7. Creativity & Joy – Creativity brings immense joy. It is very important for every human being to pursue a hobby and create something every single day. There are endless ways to be creative. Singing, dancing, cooking, painting for whatever you like to do. Find your calling and just do it!

8. Emotional Intelligence – Emotional intelligence is one of the most important parameters to work on in the competitive world of today. Being emotionally intelligent defines your personality and confidence levels. You need to learn to manage your emotions because emotions are indirectly linked to mental and physical wellbeing.
