MIND, B ODY &
WELLBEING
WO R D S LY N N N I C H O L S O N
To truly nourish ourselves, to really bring ourselves back into
balance, we need to focus on three areas. The mental, the
physical and the emotional.
As a holistic nutritionist myself I
am often faced with clients who
tell me how they have tried every
diet, including some incredibly
dangerous options, and yet, they
simply cannot achieve the weight
and look they desire. When asked
what they do to stimulate their
emotional well being, or, ask them
how they take care of their physical
self outside of dieting, they often
look at me confused, surely if I just
diet I will achieve my goals?
The truth is, we are very finely
tuned machines, we need to have
everything in balance if we are
going to function correctly.
It is not just about the fuel we
put into our bodies it is about
stimulating all of our self. We need
self discovery.
Most problems, be that weight,
skin problems, emotional issues
for example, respond to nurture
and care of ourselves, naturally,
but we need to look at all areas to
achieve results.
It is also worth considering that
if you find yourself in a job or
career that seems stagnant, or
unfulfilling, this same principles
apply, somewhere you are not
being stimulated, your mental and

emotional well being is simply
not being taken care of and the
feelings you experience are simply
shutting down or, in a more simple
term, you are bored.
Time to stand still, forget everything
else and take control.
