Holistic Living Benefits All Kids

7. Holistic Living Benefits All Kids

Even from a very young age kids can learn about holistic living from the examples around them; with family, friends, in community gatherings, in school.

Practicing social skills is useful in finding peace and harmony within, forming a foundation for becoming caring, useful adults. Even kids with disabilities can observe to the best of their abilities.

Being appreciative becomes a lifelong habit when begun early. From the example of adults around them, kids see that those who express appreciation seem happier and more confident in all their interactions with others and even in solving problems. And those examples spur youngsters on as models of how they wish to be when grown up.

If you have garden space grow some of your salad ingredients. It is easy to grow vegetables using pots on window sills or on the porch. Try a couple of kinds of lettuce, parsley, basil, cherry tomatoes in 6 inch diameter pots. This is healthy and rewarding because you get to eat the results of your efforts, and you are benefiting the environment with more green plants.

Holistic living, balanced living, inspires feeling happy and peaceful in the moment. In times of stress, taking time to remember one thing we do have, with appreciation, helps us see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Daily life has moments of ups and downs; the sour down experiences more easily transformed with the sweetness of an appreciation or good deed. Just the thought of being kind is enough to lift one into a positive mood.
