Have you ever thought about your holistic health? The mind, body, spirit, and soul all as a functioning unit? Do you take care of all areas of your health or are you lacking on some?

We live in a culture afraid of asking for help. There seems to be an ever-growing stigma around the idea that asking for help somehow makes us weaker or less capable. The idea of vulnerability is a terrifying thought.

This lack of vulnerability I think stems a lot from the constant reach of social media. It is constantly bombarding us and in turn, we become sucked into that world and disconnected to the real world and real emotions. All the endless amounts of caffeine, drugs, and pills we take just hype us up to once again run on empty.

Vulnerability is at the core of all human experiences.

Can you imagine a time when you were vulnerable? Raw, real vulnerability? How did you feel? Did you feel more fulfilled or less?

Yes, this emotion, like every emotion, can seem daunting and a bit scary. But, when you tap into the side of vulnerability, it will open up a new world in front of you.

We don’t need to be afraid to ask for help. No, it does not make you less smart, worthy or strong. I argue it makes you stronger. There is such a cultural wall up against vulnerability. A lack of vulnerability leads to a lack of self-care which in turn leads to a lack of health, in particular, holistic health.

Being honest and open to those around you allows for deeper connections, a more open and fulfilled life and a more holistic health and lifestyle.

Go be vulnerable today.
