Every quarter, we gather to discuss the most prevalent topics among women worldwide and choose the most pressing one. This time, we have chosen to focus on WOMEN’S WELLNESS. Not only because it is a much-misunderstood issue, but also because it is a vital element of a thriving life. As we delve into this vital and wide-ranging topic, we invite you to reconsider what wellness truly means in our global environment.
Too often, wellness is reduced to spa days and surface-level self-care— oftentimes luxuries that seem out of reach for many women. But true wellness is far more profound and essential. It’s not an indulgence; it’s a necessity. It’s not about surviving; it’s about thriving – spiritually, mentally, and physically.
The World Health Organization defines health as “a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.” This holistic view forms the foundation of our approach to wellness in this issue.
We explore wellness as a daily practice, a philosophy, and a way of living that permeates every aspect of our lives:
– In the workplace, where we spend so much of our time
– In our mental health, the cornerstone of our overall well-being
– In women’s healthcare, addressing our unique needs and challenges
– In the global context, recognizing wellness as a universal human right
– And in the delicate balance between work and personal life
Wellness isn’t about carving out occasional moments for self-care. It’s about creating a life where you can flourish fully, professionally and personally.
It encompasses financial security, healthy habits, strong support networks, and the freedom to pursue what brings you joy—whether that’s globetrotting or curling up with a good book.
In this issue, we bring stories, insights, and practical advice from women redefining wellness in their lives and communities. We challenge the notion that wellness is a luxury and present it as an essential component of a fulfilling life.
Join us as we explore the multifaceted world of women’s wellness. Let’s redefine what it means to be truly well and empower ourselves to create lives of balance, health, and joy.
Here’s to your wellness journey,
xoxo
