Wyebank women’s group encourages self-love
The wellness day which was hosted by the Waterlily Women's group reminded people to prioritise their well-being.
‘CHECK in with yourself as your well-being matters’ – these words were emphasised by most of the speakers at a wellness day hosted by The Waterlily Women’s group on Saturday.
Held at the Wyebank Creche, the day offered free health screening, a gym session, nutrition advice, mental health support, wellness talks and a display on affordable nutritious food.
Nellie Naranjee from the women’s group reminded the guests that one cannot pour from an empty cup.
With the group’s motto, ‘Each time a woman stands up for herself, she stands up for every woman’, Naranjee said selfcare is a necessity, and that it is not selfish.
“Looking after yourself is critical. It is okay to say ‘No’ if one feels overwhelmed and has too much on their plates. Asking for help is okay and do not carry the load yourself; fill your cup so that you can be able to pour from it,” she advised.
Naranjee said a world can be a better place filled with lots of positive attitude if people could prioritise their well-being.
“It can help set an example to our children and people who look up to us and people can do so much more when they are revitalised,” she said.
Other speakers also echoed Naranjee’s words of self-love.
The speakers encouraged people to exercise, and take some time for themselves to balance their mental and physical wellness.
