All of us would like be healthier, to look better, and to live well both physically and spiritually.
Living well is almost the entire world’s shared dream.
As everything that is precious to us has been honored with a special day, why is it that we don’t have a special global day dedicated to the only thing which is really valuable to all of us, that is, living well? We can now answer this question by saying “it now exists”. This special day is called Global Wellness Day.
With the slogan “One day can change your whole life,” we celebrate Global Wellness Day on the second Saturday of June every year as an international day.
Global Wellness Day is an entirely not-for-profit day, a social project 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.
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
First celebrated in 2012, Global Wellness Day was established in Turkey as the “first” day dedicated to living well, and has now been accepted worldwide. Reflecting its 11 years of success, on June 11, 2022, Global Wellness Day was celebrated globally with both in-person activities and a 3-Hour Free Livestream Celebration which started in New Zealand and ended in Los Angeles, once again drawing attention to the importance of “living well”.
Furthermore, Global Wellness Day was celebrated in tens and thousands of locations reaching over half a billion people, many complimentary in-person Global Wellness Day activities took place such as laughter therapy to boost positivity and Tai Chi in Portugal, BoxHITT and Zumba in New Zealand, Pilates and healing yoga in South Korea, “Talk It Out” therapy sessions, group fitness class and workshops/seminars in Kenya, Functional Fitness in Bahrain, 5k run and salsa dance classes in the Dominican Republic, cycling, cross training, celebrity yoga in Ibiza, an opening event for GWD at the Zlatibor Gold Gondola Lift in Serbia, fitness and yoga session in the newest GWD celebrating country, Czech Republic and much more. Argentina once again honored GWD by lighting the iconic Monumento del Sembrador in Villa Elisa and much more.
Global Wellness Day will be celebrated on Saturday, June 10th, 2023.
To get one step closer towards living well, let our manifesto be your starting point.
