Wellbeing events are becoming widely popular. But what are they? Why are they so popular?
This article is written by us at Hygge Directory, and we have tried to source as much information as possible to share with you.
As a human being, we all crave connection. When Corona Virus hit and we were all told that we had to stay inside it caused a lot of mixed emotions. After talking to many people, the main emotion that we all felt was “fear”. Fear that we wouldn’t be able to spend time with our families, fear that we or our loved ones might get sick or even worse, “what if we never see them again?”
Many of us became obsessed with doing Covid tests to ensure that if we were looking after people, we were in the clear. Around this time many people discovered video calls. Mainly so people could work from home, so the likes of Zoom and Microsoft teams made a massive difference in peoples lives. I know personally that I wouldn’t be able to do my job from home if I didn’t have Zoom.
Then after what seemed like a lifetime we were told that we could spend Christmas with our loved ones. But why was it so important to spend Christmas time with our loved ones? Connection.
No matter how you connect with people, if its singing at the top of your lungs to your favourite artist in concert, going to church every Sunday and singing hymns and saying prayers or going to a well-being event and seeing like minded people. These ALL have a positive effect on your well being. it has been said that it may reduce depression, anxiety, loneliness, promote happiness. Basically its good for us!
