What is Holistic Health?
Holistic health is achieved when the four aspects
of health are in balance our mind, body,
spirit, and emotions. If one of these aspects
become too strong or deficient then an imbalance
in health occurs. The four rivers of Four Rivers
Wellness represent a balanced flow within the
mind, body, spirit and emotions. Everything that
Four Rivers Wellness offers is rooted in holistic
health.
Why is Holistic Health Important?
In todays society, we rely heavily on our minds
to excel at work, plan for the future and
organize our lives. This is important to help us
keep up with the busy world around us. However,
have you noticed that when your mind is active
with all of your responsibilities and duties,
you start to ignore the other aspects of
health? You might not have time to exercise
anymore because you have too much to do. You may
find that your emotions are too distracting so
you start to bottle them up inside. Perhaps your
relationships with friends and family begin to
wane and you no longer can find the time to do
things that bring you joy and happiness s, like
dancing, artwork or being in Nature.

As you may have already experienced, this road
leads to burnout and makes you more susceptible
to chronic health concerns like cardiovascular
disease, digestive concerns, and even cancer.
This is why it is important to be pro-active to
ensure you are living a balanced life.
How Can I Live a Balanced Life?

• I recommend reflecting on what your life is like
  currently. Are you focussing your efforts and
  attention on just one aspect of health? If so,
  try incorporating some of the following
  suggestions in the other categories to bring you
  back into balance.
• Mind
• Learn about new concepts that inspire you
• Start a meditation practice to make your mind
  more efficient
• Create daily, weekly and monthly goals to keep
  your mind focussed
• Body
• Eat wholesome nutritious food
• Make sure you are getting plenty of rest
• Move your body daily in whatever way feels best
  for you yoga, jogging, hiking, cycling,
  swimming, etc.
• Spirit
