5 Ways to Feeling Whole, Inside and Out

If you feel like something in your life or body has been lacking lately, you might wonder what you can do to start taking steps to become whole again. Part of feeling whole inside and out means mastering your health in several areas, including physically, mentally, and spiritually.

If you lack control of your life or are unsure of your next steps, this guide will provide the 5 easiest ways to begin feeling whole, inside and out.

1. Take One Step at a Time

Sometimes, to change your life, you need to take significant, giant steps to become whole again. If you try to task and overwhelm yourself with big, giant tasks, you will never be able to accomplish what you want.

Instead, focus on moving in the right direction with a tiny step, followed by another small step. For example, if you want to lose weight, you can start exercising once a week and cutting sugar daily. These changes are manageable and doable. If you try to tell yourself you will exercise every day and won’t eat sugar anymore, you might be unable to make such significant changes quickly.

Once you are comfortable exercising twice a week, you can add on another day or two, depending on your work and time constraints. You can also add on another day of not eating sugar and snacking. Adding small steps to other small steps is an effortless way to start making significant and substantial life changes eventually.

You also need to avoid making excuses for not taking small steps. It’s easy to say you are too busy to make changes. If you keep making excuses for yourself, you will fall into a never-ending cycle of never making a change.

 

2. Make Goals and Routines

One part of being whole in your new, changed life is ensuring you have goals you are reaching for. For example, you might want to focus first on being whole spiritually. This means you need to have spiritual goals that you are working towards. For instance, you could have a goal of connecting more with God through prayer, meditation, and studying the bible.

This means you must start making it a habit to pray, study the word of God, and meditate daily. You need to make sure you are taking steps towards creating the things you need to meet your spiritual goals.

You can also create routines centered around your goals. For spiritual goals, you can generate morning or nighttime routines that involve reading spiritual books or spending time in mindfulness meditation and more time in prayer. You can also create a routine that involves weekly fellowship or attending church services if you are part of an organized religion.

Setting goals and establishing routines are crucial for your holistic development. Make sure you have at least one goal for your physical health, one for your mental health, and one for your spiritual health. These goals and the routines you create to achieve them will help you master your health and lead a more balanced life.

Habits and routines are much more powerful than you might think. Routines keep you grounded and allow you to fall into natural patterns that can benefit your health and lifestyle. Unhealthy habits can have a powerful effect just as much as good ones.

If you find yourself with unhealthy habits, no matter how small, break them immediately. You can replace them with good habits to fill your time and replace them with something better.

 

3. Take care of yourself: Eat healthy and Sleep Better

Part of mastering your health, especially physically, is ensuring you eat better and have better nutrition. Eating healthy means incorporating fresher foods, including vegetables, fruit, and lean meats. You should also eat more nuts, whole grains, and dairy.

One trick to remember is to stay around the grocery store’s border. Most of the time, the borders of the grocery stores are where you find all the fresh food like meats, fruits, and vegetables. The inside aisles of the grocery store are where most of the processed food is located, including junk food that you should stay clear of.

Eating better has more than just physical benefits, though. A healthy diet can also make you feel better mentally. When you nourish your body, your mind is also being nourished. If you aren’t sure how to eat healthily, you can always sign up for meal service or find a few easy recipe cookbooks online.

You don’t have to make meals complicated to be healthy. When in doubt, include meat, some vegetables, and some fruit at the end of the meal. You can also add yogurt or cheese if you want dairy.

Another trick to follow is to get into the practice of intuitive eating. This means you are listening to your body as you eat. Many people have learned to avoid the signals their body has taught them, such as when it’s telling you it’s full or hungry. Since our work schedules are often so busy, we get into the habit of ignoring what our body is telling us.

When you learn to be in tune with your body, you can eat when you are hungry and stop when you feel full. Intuitive eating also involves eating the food you enjoy and learning what you appreciate.

To stay at a healthy weight and avoid lousy eating, you need to find foods you enjoy eating so that you continue to consume what is good for you and what you look forward to eating.

If you don’t like certain fruits or vegetables, find others you enjoy better. Your meals and plates don’t have to look like everyone else’s. Make sure you are not cutting out too much food or depriving yourself. Deprivation will lead to days of binging.

Quality sleep is just as important as eating healthy for overall health. Just because you go to bed early does not mean you are getting excellent quality sleep that prepares you for the day ahead of work or school.

Quality sleep means getting enough sleep and sleeping well. Using a phone app is one way to ensure you get good sleep. Many apps measure how long you stay asleep, your sleep cycles, and how often or how long you dream.

You know if you are getting quality sleep or not. If you wake up with headaches or need more rest, you can be sure you are not sleeping well. Ensure you are hydrated before bed, as lack of water can make you feel worse when you wake up.

If you are not breathing well during sleep or experiencing insomnia, it might be worth seeing a doctor to ensure you are not suffering from more serious illnesses that might prevent you from getting good sleep.

One way to ensure better sleep is to establish a sleep routine. This involves going to bed and waking up simultaneously every day despite your schedule. You might also want to consider putting away the screens 30 minutes before bed and reading a book or journaling instead. You can also try yoga before bed or drink tea or another warm, relaxing drink.

 

4. Facing Your Inner Demons

You can’t be whole inside and out without facing your inner demons head-on. To start, make sure you understand where your demons come from. They might result from past trauma or failures that are still weighing you down. Inner demons might also result from someone in your life who has talked to you negatively or poorly in the past.

Try to see where your demons come from so that you can cut them off from the source. You also need to respond to the demons rather than ignore them. What are they saying that makes your life harder? Why do you think they are saying those things?

If you ignore the demons, they will try to come back more substantial next time. That’s why it’s better to tap into them and learn how to kill or tame them.

5. Rely on your Faith

When growing spiritually, you must learn to lean on your faith. No matter what your faith is, tapping into it when you are struggling or feeling down can be an excellent way to grow spiritually.

One of the best ways to lean on your faith is to have music to listen to when you are in a stressful situation. Make sure you make a playlist before you need it to have it ready as soon as you need it. If you don’t find music inspirational, listen to podcasts instead. Books about faith and eBooks are also great ways to listen to others and get tips to lean more into your faith.

If you have a group of believers, you can also meet with them and learn to fellowship with like-minded people with the same faith. People of the same faith can show you ways to strengthen your relationships. When relying on your faith, you must also set aside your emotions.

If you are angry at God or have another problem with an aspect of spirituality because of some emotions, you will find it extremely hard to rely on your faith when you need it the most. Negative emotions can affect how you relate to others. If prayer is part of your religion, you also need to make sure you are making time every day for prayer. It can be at the same time every day, or you can pray when you feel stressed or anxious.

You can also join prayer groups if you want to where you can join fellow believers. This will allow you to have other people pray for you and allow you to pray for others.
