So, shhhh. Don't tell Husband.
Anyway, I was flicking through a back copy of Body + Soul tonight and I saw this list. And I liked the list. I said to the list "go forth onto my blog and multiply into the brains of women everywhere."
So here 'tis. Many thanks to Body + Soul, March 2008. I hope it rings some holistic bells in you, busy mum and wife and career-person.
- Make use of your body's ingenious design. Move, stretch, walk, and run a little every day.
- Sometimes picking your battles means letting go of a need to engage in them.
- When we get caught up in calorie counting, we miss the point of eating.
- Vacation is a state of mind, not a reservation.
- Emotional balance lies in observing your responses to everything around you.
- Tread lightly. Eat vegetarian more often.
- Get radical with your self-care. Trying times call for extreme healing measures.
- Going green doesn't require a life makeover. Retool some old habits.
- Don't confuse downtime with rest. Give yourself the gift of deep and vital stillness.
- Healthy living defies a single definition. There are many, many ways to live well.
I particularly love the last one. For someone who beats herself up constantly for not living a completely stress-free, 100% organic and pure life of total serenity, it made me feel good to know that the little things I do are making a difference.
What do you do to live more holistically?

I love lists and this is a great one! Thanks for sharing it, I never by magazines, so never would have come across it otherwise.
Love it! And love your intro too. I had a good chuckle at you talking to the magazine list in your best goddess voice :)
