The why of Wellbeing

THE WHY OF WELLBEING 

Never in human history has our species been in such a confusing and extraordinary position. We have most of human knowledge at our fingertips and are only a few decades away from standing on the surface of other worlds. But with information comes burnout, and with possibility comes uncertainty. As an attendee to one of our workshops said, “I, like many people around me, have felt in increase in my stress levels over recent years.”

Although we are facing many challenges as a species, it all starts and ends with how you and I interpret and engage with the world around us.

Can you recall the off-hand comment of a friend or colleague that stung you? Can you remember the kind action of a stranger? It is these interactions and experiences that, for better or worse, make us who we are and inform how we act. We share the power and responsibility to shape the world around us through our thoughts, words, and actions. As another attendee said about their wellbeing workshop, “It really made me reflect on my own routines and how to change them to the better.”. In other words, we don’t have to live reactively to what happens in our lives as, through the ways of mindfulness and wellbeing, we can play an active role in shaping ourselves and the world around us.
