“Everything that I need is within me.” Team Elevate is carrying OTV | Open Television Elijah’s words from our #MakeGoodFamous Summit with us this week while we are OOO for our second annual wellbeing week. Wellbeing isn’t about expensive yoga classes (though we love yoga) or buying into the latest wellness trends. It’s about acknowledging our needs. It’s about rest. It’s about breathing, healing, and quiet growth. We encourage you, as people who care deeply about others (as we know our followers do), to take time for yourself in whatever way you choose to practice self-care. We cannot heal the world without first healing ourselves. #mentalhealth #worklifebalance #socialgood

When did wellbeing become commercialized? I can hardly remember ever seeing a yoga studio or meditation center before the mid-1990s. Concepts like mindfulness and self-care weren’t in our lexicon and yet the practices we willingly pay exorbitant prices for now have been readily available and culturally ubiquitous around the world for eons. But sometime over the past 25 years, capitalism has gotten a hold of wellness, another word we created to frame the value in western terms.  As Elijah McKinnon said so perfectly, this false perception is a result of the commodification of wellness. While external sources of wellbeing can have barriers to entry, true wellness is intrinsic — it's found within. Finding moments of peace and pause inside yourself is far more powerful and transformative. These practices are essential for whole leadership, sustaining ourselves, and deepening our connection to our work.

Discover the transformative power of wellness with Anshuka Parwani at Her Circle HIVE! Learn how simple practices like breathing correctly can kickstart your wellness journey. In this special session, Anshuka introduced effective desk exercises as alternatives for those unable to commit to full yoga sessions.

Self-Care Sunday: Far from a fleeting trend, it's an essential chapter in the manual of holistic well-being. It’s the day to fine-tune our focus toward health priorities.
