If you google the definition of integrity, you will find a myriad of choices in the meaning of the word. It varies from “An undivided or unbroken completeness or totality with nothing wanting” to simply, “honesty”.
Regardless of which definition you choose, integrity plays a large role in our health. It takes complete honesty to look at ourselves and our health and admit we might not be as whole, as healthy as we want.
I have found with my clientele, those who stand within their integrity, and are proactive in the choices they make to live a healthy lifestyle are the most whole, making steady progress in improving their lives on many levels. Even the ones who live with an illness, an autoimmune disease, or genetic condition, who choose to live as healthy as possible within the reality of their illness, find wholeness.
Standing within our integrity can take much courage. We may not always lkike what we see when we’re honest with ourselves. Yet it opens the door to good health so we can make the choice of walking the path of wellness.
