Post stressful times takes some adjusting to what has been, how it has impacted and affected our lives, health and wellness.
In one way or another life changes constantly, we have to take the good with the bad, but making time to re-assess, resetting and regrouping in a different form or style contributes to recharging our sense of wellbeing and finding how we need to move forward.
There’s a lot of talk about ‘Resetting the World with Wellness’ and The Global Wellness Institute (GWI) is working to create a better, healthier and less unjust world through necessity, where wellness activities and lifestyle changes need to be part of our everyday life, giving us the chance to evolve and grow all forms of wellness to create a a healthier lifestyle.
Never have we seen such a demand for all sectors of wellness, and while it’s nice to see people taking care of themselves and each other, it’s the stress levels we see and feel in others, the depression, desperation and anxiety of feeling overwhelmed that is driving the wellness market at present.
The positive side, is people are seeking help to improve their health and wellbeing.
Fortunately, there’s a wide variety of ways to improve your wellness and it’s important that you choose a few options that are best suited to you and your happiness or lifestyle. Choose the wellness activities you enjoy, like or gain benefit from because that means you will make them part of your life to maintain your wellness.
The basic rules to wellness are to do something active, something passive, nourish your body, build on your mental resilience and always include the things you love to do. Selfcare is not a luxury, it’s a necessity.
Lifestyle changes take a bit of adjustment for many of us but when it’s time to regroup ourselves to move in a different direction. Taking time to regroup by recognising the changes, processing it and moving forward can be stressful.
One step at a time, seeking help, talking to others about it and taking time to care for yourself during a transition all helps your health and wellness.
Precious time we spend with family and friends to share hugs, kisses, touch and human connection, it’s a necessity we all thrive on as humans.
When we don’t live near family, we tend to create connections with others who become the family we choose. Community and belonging to a collective of other humans is important for our wellbeing no matter what age we are, it’s what we do as humans and it’s a very important for our mental and emotional health for us to connect, care and share with other likeminded people.
