Holistic Wellbeing
What is the 'Holistic' Approach to Mental Wealth?
Our Mind and Body do not operate in isolation....
much as in the same way, neither do we exist separate from our environments.
If we are to truly optimise our Mental Wealth and Wellbeing, we need to explore all facets of our existence and what effect they have on our state of being.
Refresh's 'Holistic' approach means exploring the 'Whole Self', our
Mind, Body and Soul, or Environment.
Body
Sports & Fitness
What do we mean by Fitness?
​
How does it affect our Well-being?
​
How can we use the power of our mind to achieve Peak Performance?
​​​
Physical activity comes with preconceptions....you don't have to be red-faced, struggling for breath if you don't want to, it doesn't matter what fitness 'gear' you have or what you look like in it, if you lift weights you won't look 'bulky' unless that is the goal....exercise can be tailored for your own personal use and enjoyment....yes, ENJOYMENT!

Taking part in any activity that increases our heart rate & stimulates our muscles is essential to our Wellbeing.
As with the world we live in, we are not designed to stay still, if we do we stagnate,
our blood pools & cannot circulate oxygen & nutrients properly
our internal cleaning system (lymphatic) relies on movement to remove waste & dead cells to make way for new healthy cells and our digestive muscles need stimulation to keep things 'moving'....
​
our muscles waste without stimulation
and our brains need all of these processes to occur in order be able to think 'clearly' & produce the body chemicals that control all of our mind-body processes....
our mood stability, memory, ability to think clearly, cope with stress and the demands placed upon us in life.
