With the slogan “One day can change your whole life,” be well {groomed!} joins the world in celebrating Global Wellness Day on the second Saturday of June every year as an international day —> and that’s today, June 10.
I first heard about GWD through Dr. Ben Johnson and his team of wellness pros at Osmosis Beauty when they encouraged their global network of health practitioners and estheticians to get ourselves and our clients on the move to living better, physically & spiritually.
The main aims of the day are:
- To recognize the value of our lives
- To pause and think, even if for just one day of the year
- To be free from the stress of everyday city life and bad habits
- To make peace with ourselves
- To raise awareness about living well and increase motivation, not just for today, but for the remaining 364 days of the year
All good things, amiright?!?
The 7-Step Manifesto for GWD is simple and actionable:
- Get moving: walk for one hour
- Hydrate: drink more water
- Love your body: eat more fruits & veg
- Feel great: do a good deed
- Petro-free: don’t use plastic bottles
We start with one day where we bring the manifesto into our lives. And then, we remind each other to include bits of the manifest in our ongoing habits. I love this … let’s gooooo!
In 2022, the GWD published Wellness Drinks from Around the World. Here’s a fave from Poland: (I’ll include others on a future wellness check in; stay tuned!)
How are you allowing more wellness to flow into your life?
And, how can your esthetician help?
