It is 6PM, post office hours, on a mundane Wednesday. As you stroll down the street, you notice many individuals carrying their yoga mats toward Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium. You can’t help but wonder, “How do they maintain such a lifestyle as employees?”
You know that not everyone has a “very nice” boss who overlooks breaks, right? What you see– the people bringing their mats down the street– is part of a phenomenon known as the “Wellness Lifestyle,” which has significantly risen as an aftereffect of COVID-19. Since the pandemic, awareness of health and wellness has surged, leading to increased interest and market share in this area as an effect of post-pandemic wellness trend.
The question is: Are Indonesians genuinely embracing this lifestyle, or is it merely a fleeting trend? Let’s explore the realm of wellness together!
Unveiling the Depths of Human Desire: Maslow’s Theory of Needs
Maslow’s theory of needs paints a vivid portrait of human aspiration, illustrating that our desires stretch far beyond the realm of mere survival. We yearn not only for the essentials of life–food, shelter, and safety – but also for a tapestry woven with security, social recognition, achievement, and the ultimate quest for self-actualization.
Every day, we chase fulfillment with the same fervor we devote to our basic needs. Yet, true fulfillment dances on a different plane; it transcends the fleeting moments of happiness that come and go like whispers in the wind.
In short, there is a “red string” theory between wellness and fulfillment– it all occurs for a lifetime!
For those of us who spend eight hours a day sitting at a desk, engaging in activities that foster a sense of achievement can lead to true happiness. According to National Geographic, wellness transcends mere spa days or prescriptions; it is a journey of self-discovery, connection, and communion with nature. As JD Oullette eloquently states, true wellness flourishes in self-satisfaction, fulfillment, and the bonds we forge within the communities.
It invites us to rest, nurture our relationships, and savor every bite and movement– embracing all bodies without judgment. In this vibrant tapestry of life, wellness becomes an art form, painted with experiences that enrich our souls and rejuvenate our spirits.
