How to start living a more holistic lifestyle...
....without losing your sanity
We’ve been there. You want to make healthier choices, you love the thought of making more things yourself. Eating better (without killing the budget), being more active, embracing a “greener” lifestyle. It all sounds amazing but also makes you feel overwhelmed. It’s hard to know where to begin. A simple first step is to figure out what your priorities are. Rank the following from top to bottom:
What are your priorities?
- Healthy diet
- Drinking more water
- Higher quality hygiene products
- More positive mindset
- Increase exercise/physical activity
- Greener cleaning supplies
- Using more natural healthcare
Choose simple steps
Here are four easy ways you can start living a more holistic, healthier lifestyle without driving yourself crazy trying to do everything at once. Build small habits and keep adding to what you’re doing.

Check your cleaning cabinet
Replace one harsh cleaner at a time with more natural (but still effective) options. Bet your wallet will be happy about the switch too.
