If you are in good health, your wellness is one of the greatest gifts you have. The World Wellness Weekend brings people across the globe together to celebrate health and wellness. Among the focus areas are mental health, physical activity and self-care.
Here is what World Wellness Weekend is all about.
As the name suggests, this is a weekend-long activity/event usually slated for the third week of September each year. The movement has a global reach and aims to promote holistic well-being. The event encourages people to engage in activities that enhance emotional, mental and physical health. These lead to developing a sense of balance, happiness and overall well-being.
These days, people hardly have the time to slow down and enjoy the little things in life. Juggling work, school, family and other responsibilities leads people to self-neglect. To prioritize self-care, you must schedule activities such as mindfulness and spending quality time in nature. Eating wholesome food will also help you feel the best physically and mentally.
To achieve the goal of this weekend event, people everywhere participate in activities such as:
Fitness Classes: To encourage participation, many fitness studios offer discounted classes during World Wellness Weekend to encourage people to keep fit by staying active.
Healthy Eating Forums: People attend healthy cooking classes or nutritional workshops to encourage them to adopt such a lifestyle.
Nature Walks and Outdoor Activities: To stay healthy and connect with nature, outdoor activities and nature walks are ideal to breathe in the fresh outdoor air as you keep fit.
Engaging in Mental Health Discussions: During this weekend, people participate in workshops on mental health topics. These discussions reduce stigma and raise awareness on issues surrounding mental health.
Creative Expression Workshops: World Wellness Weekend opportunities may include participation in creative activities. Some of these include dance, art and music which are ideal for promoting mental and emotional well-being.
These and many more activities are unique to each location across the globe. However, their main objective is to promote the health and well-being of all.
