GLOBAL WELLNESS DAY PH

The worldwide celebration of GLOBAL WELLNESS DAY yesterday, June 11, 2016, from 7am to 11am at the 2nd Floor of FTX Fitness Exchange. The celebration was a huge success as people from different walks of life gathered and pledged to the aims of this advocacy, which 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, and to raise awareness about living well and increase motivation, not justfor today, but for the remaining 364 days of the year.

GWD   is   an   entirely   not-for-profit   day,   a   social   project   created   by volunteers dedicated to living well. The purpose of Global Wellness Day is to ask the question, even if for just one day, "How can I live a healthier and better life?", to direct the thoughts of both individuals and society towards “living well” and to raise awareness.  

Global Wellness Day was established in Turkey as the “first” day dedicated to living well, and has now been accepted world-wide.  It is officially celebrated on the second Saturday of June every year in 7   continents.  This year  it was celebrated in 83   countries   with   86 ambassadors thus reflecting its success. 

To  get   one   step   closer   towards   living   well,   let   our   manifesto   be   your starting point.   In order to make Wellness a lifestyle, Global Wellness Dayaims to adopt the following seven simple steps. What is important is not to implement all of the steps all at once, but to incorporate at least just a few ofthem into your daily life on a regular basis.

GWD 7 STEP MANIFESTO 
1- Walk for an hour. 
2- Drink more water. 
3- Don’t use plastic bottles. 
4- Eat organic foods. 
5- Do a good deed. 
6- Have a family dinner. 
7- Sleep at 10:00 PM

GWD Philippines is also involved in the annual National Wellness Day festivities of the People Management Association of the Philippines (PMAP) on June 30 at the Mall of Asia, where member companies will exhibit and showcase their corporate wellness efforts.  They will also have various wellness speakers, health tests, and fitness classes for the general public to enjoy.

    The first six are achievable but as a night owl, the last is definitely something I need to work on.

33 and Taking it Easy

Kanina, before ko i-open itong account ko, ang daming random thoughts na naglalaro sa isip ko. Ngayon ito na, hindi ko na alam paano sisimulan isulat ang nilalaman ng isip at puso ko.  Umpisahan ko siguro sa disclaimer. Mahaba ito, so kung mainipin ka, busy ka (kasi may lakad ka. Char!), judgemental ka (char ulit!) tamang gusto lang mang-bash or simply gusto lang makitsismis kung ano na lagay ng buhay ko ngayon, click back nalang para exit ka na. Pero if meron kang same na pinagdadaanan as I am, or you just like me, super-friends tayo and you're geniunely concerned of what's going on in my life, then read on! Super nagpapasalamat ako sa lahat ng taong bumati at nakaalala sa birthday ko. Hindi ko na iisahin kasi ang dami! At nakakataba talaga ng puso. Kasi yun simpleng precious seconds ng buhay nyo, binigay ninyo sa akin para ipaalam saken na naalala nyo ako.   Para sa isang taong tulad ko na dumaraan sa tinatawag na mid-life or quarter-life crisis.
