6 ways to embrace a more holistic lifestyle

Embarking on a modern, holistic lifestyle isn’t only a trend in the wellness community, but a real change in our world. People are prioritizing self-care, trying to eliminate stress, and focusing on living a healthier life.

Leaders in the wellness world like Gweneth Paltrow make a holistic lifestyle look like a breeze. Her wellness community Goop has an ailment and product for everything. And she’s tried everything - literally. But assuming you’re not cool getting stung by a bee, there must be an easier way.

We can all live a more holistic lifestyle right NOW. How? It’s just a matter of making small changes each day. Before you know it, you'll be living a healthier, more holistic life.

What is a holistic lifestyle?

Before we get into the tips, let’s talk about what it means to live a holistic life. Basically, it means that you’re choosing to live a healthier life by healing and nurturing your body using natural remedies.

For example, when you have a headache. Rather than poppin’ an Advil, a holistic lifestyle might encourage drinking a soothing tea and using a cold compress to soothe the discomfort.

Elite Daily says,

“What's unique about this way of living is you observe everything as a whole. You don't look at sickness and say it's something physical, you observe the entire picture… Therefore, through a more holistic lifestyle, you are more prepared for challenges in life as you observe your circumstances and surroundings fully.”

6 simple holistic changes to get you started

Start by implementing these six practices into your daily life. They’re simple to start and will enable you to feel benefits right away!

Listen to your body

Start your days by simply checking in with yourself. Some people meditate, others like to journal, or you can even drink your coffee without distractions. The idea is that you’re listening to your body. Does anything hurt? Do you feel sore, notice dry skin, feel thirsty? Your body tells you what’s going on. Listen in!

Practice gratitude

Another beneficial, holistic ritual is to practice gratitude. If you think more positively, chances are you create more positive situations around you and find the silver lining in bad situations. To get started, try writing down one thing you’re grateful for every night before you go to bed. Keeping a gratitude journal gives you a book of wonderful things to reflect on next time you’re feeling down.

Boost your body with supplements 

Take a page from Gweneth’s playbook and try adding some supplements like adaptogens or CBD to your routine. These elements help soothe stress and reduce anxiety. You can ingest them in products like VIVI’s Daily Vivant gummies with nano CBD, multivitamins, and nutrients. You can even integrate adaptogens into your beauty routine to reduce stress.

Personal development

Another important element of a holistic life is to let yourself grow! Take an online class or sign up for a meetup in your local area. You can finally get your finances in order or learn a new language or skill. By trying personal growth, you teach yourself to be a beginner. It keeps you stay in the moment and be grateful for the life you have!

Move yo’ body

Any healthy lifestyle involves some physical movement. Whether you take a TRX class or go for a walk, causing your heart to race is essential for your health - and mind! Working out increases serotonin and dopamine naturally. Elle Woods was on to something when she said:

“Exercise gives you endorphins. Endorphins make you happy. Happy people just don't shoot their husbands, they just don't.”

Get some ZZZ’s

No excuses, tonight. Make it a priority to set a bedtime or sleep in a bit later than normal. Getting decent sleep is one of the best and simplest things you can do to lead a healthier life. Sheryl Sandberg attributes her success to sleep. Watch her TedTalk if you don’t believe it. If counting sheep doesn’t do the trick, try VIVI’s Catching Z’s CBD gummies.


The first step on this wellness journey is to spark change in your current life, no matter how small at first. As long as you start to make more conscious decisions and healthier choices, you’re on the holistic path!
