The historical perspective

Much of today’s efforts to driving human beings toward leading a healthy and disease free quality life owe a legacy way back to the year 2012. This very year Belgin Aksoy after battling the terrible disease of cancer and surviving its lethal grip had taken many initiatives to start the Global Wellness Day as she didn’t keep her desire for adopting a healthy lifestyle solely to herself. On the other hand, she shared her passion toward the philosophy of wellness with public, and it is evident from her own words how intensely she craves to live in a disease free world where everyone around her would be happy and bubbling with immense mental and physical potential.

I have always believed that the idea of living well is almost the entire world’s shared dream. With Global wellness day, we have turned this shared dream into reality and people from all around the world have embraced the project like a savior “. Since then, Belgin Aksoy’s successful struggle against cancer and her herculean initiative to make the GWD an international event of mega importance came under the limelight and her popularity spread like wildfire.

To enjoy all the good things available on planet earth, being well is a must. However, if a great chunk of population around you is not keeping well, ultimately that affects the community life and creates a huge impact on the nation. Productivity slows down; thus, stalling the growth of a nation. The importance of Global Wellness Day lies in generating the sense and benefits of remaining well instead of falling prey to the monstrous grip of diseases. GWD unfolds a plethora of healthy options for you to share with your family and friends. The following are the value added steps which you might take on GWD to inculcate a healthy lifestyle for yourself and those around you:

  • Organize workshops on fitness classes, Yogas, meditation, Tai Chi and dances.
  • Social networking sites can be used to propagate the religion called wellness, acceptable by all.
  • Educate the crowd on one of your favorite wellness areas like ‘ Deep breathing ‘ for example.
  • Teach them the techniques with a few convincing words on its huge benefits.
  • Inspire your friends to take part in a class on healthy nutrition, reflexology, diet and fitness.

Depression is the number one enemy that eats into our wellbeing and erodes our physical and mental potential. We should always try to move, exercise and jump around.
