World Health Day is observed worldwide. It is a health awareness day. Read here to find out the theme of World Health Day 2022 and what you can do to enhance your well-being and health and improve the quality of your life.
World Health Day is celebrated on 7th April every year. The World Health Organization, commonly known as WHO, started this day in 1950 to address global health. Hence, all the organizations focus on the public health issues on this particular day. WHO has a total of 11 official health campaigns, which are:
World Health Day
World Tuberculosis Day
World Immunization Week
World Malaria Day
World No Tobacco Day
World AIDS Day
World Blood Donor Day
World Chagas Disease Day
World Patient Safety Day
World Antimicrobial Awareness Week
World Hepatitis Day
World Health Day theme 2022 is "Our Planet, Our Health." The entire focus for this year is on the interconnectedness between our planet, Mother Earth, and us. Somehow in our journey, we ignored Mother Earth and also are in the process of abusing it. It is considered normal to spit on the roads and public places, urinate openly, throw garbage on the streets, etc. We also disturb the planets, animals, birds, and minerals. Countless trees were cut in the name of industrialization without thinking about soil erosion and its impact on the soil. Finally, the planet gave us a lesson with a global pandemic. Skies were blue once again, birds started chirping, pollution levels dipped, and the river water quality improved. This is because we humans stopped disturbing and abusing Mother Earth. Therefore we can see the interconnectedness and criticality as it will affect our future generations.
Now let's understand health in its totality. Health has many dimensions attached to it.
Physical health consists of your body, figure, beauty, etc. People hit the gym or do various workouts to maintain it.
Mental health talks about your mind and thoughts at the conscious and subconscious levels, decision-making, etc. Meditation, centering yourself, and grounding work can enhance it.
Emotional health consists of your feelings, emotions, relationships, etc. Self-healing, Reiki healing, and other healing modalities help bring a beautiful balance to your emotions, create joy, and increase your Emotional Quotient- EQ levels.
Psychological health is a reflection of one’s psychology which is hidden, deep-rooted, and buried. A good diet based on Ayurveda, Vata, Pitta, Kapha, and spiritual tools like Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), can offer magical results.
Spiritual health is the most critical aspect of our health. If this is taken care of, then all the other 4 categories eventually are taken care of. This can be achieved and taken to a new level by daily meditation and healing processes like Reiki Healing, Chakra Balancing, Mantra Chanting, Ayurveda, etc.
Life always throws different challenges, and we all have unique circumstances. Every individual sets different levels of priority for things. Every human being has different ways of prioritizing their health and different dimensions of health. Some people are content with taking care of only their physical bodies and are not much concerned with their quality of thoughts and emotions. But for some people, the holistic health of their mind, body, and soul is the most important. These individuals value compassion, equanimity, self-reliance, growth, transformation, etc.
Tips on How You Can Take Care of Your Well-being
Here are some profound tips on taking care of your well-being by following a healthy lifestyle on World Health Day 2022.
You must understand that your mind, body, and soul are integrated; thus, they must be in total synchronization. You can not have a situation wherein you have a healthy body but a diseased mind or soul for long as then you will undoubtedly collapse.
It's a common myth that the physical body impacts the mind and soul, whereas it's the other way round in reality. Our soul affects our mind, which in turn affects our physical body. Therefore if you are confused about where you should start to heal yourself, the answer is simple, "start from healing your soul."
Here is the 3-point strategy for your total well-being and healthy lifestyle.
Diet Management as per Ayurveda and your body type depending upon the present condition of your Pancha Bhutas (5 Elements), Body Chakra Health, and Ayurvedic composition, which is a combination of Vata, Pitta, and Kapha, is of immense importance. Modifications must also be made to your diet according to seasonal and geographical changes.
Different physical activities need to be customized as per an individual's needs. This can be a combination of walking, yoga, swimming, dancing, etc. The deal is that you have to enjoy your workouts, so choose what gives you happiness. It can be dancing to your favorite music if that is what resonates with your heart.
Last but not least, the most crucial practice that you must follow is meditation and healing. Even if you skip the tips mentioned above and only follow this practice, you can still make your soul happy. However, if you follow the first two tips and remove the last tip from your daily schedule, you can never achieve holistic well-being.
Grounding work is important daily as this settles the noise inside your mind and helps you get rid of the thoughts burdening you. A calm mind offers you solace. The quality of sleep improves. Additionally, you can focus and concentrate better, and you will have a long-term vision, as you will have clarity of thoughts.
Some cord-cutting will also really help your situation. Various unseen cords are formed with the multiple people we meet or talk to daily as energy exchanges happen. Most of the cords can continue even after the meeting has ended, and hence you feel drained out of energy, even if your energies are being sucked out unintentionally. With the cord-cutting process, you can get rid of all these unwanted cords. Therefore, it's clearing your aura. This becomes important as your energy body or aura also needs to get rid of negativity.
Drinking lots of water is a must. Water is the most abundant of the 5 elements that we are made up of. So with the healing qualities of water, you can achieve 80% of health and manifestations. You can charge and energize the drinking water before drinking it for tremendous changes in your life.
Implementing these wisdom points of holistic healing will undoubtedly improve your health and take your well-being to a new level. This will give you immense strength and happiness.
