World Wellbeing Week
5 Days of Wellbeing Challenge for a Healthier, Happier You
World Wellbeing Week, running from 24–30 June, is a timely reminder to pause and reflect on what it truly means to live well. Whether it’s our physical health, mental wellbeing, or emotional resilience, each area deserves a little attention, and a lot of kindness.
At WHA Healthcare, we believe wellbeing should be simple, accessible, and a part of everyday life, not a luxury. That’s why we’re inviting you to join our 5 Days of Wellbeing Challenge, created to help you reset, reconnect, and recharge.
Why World Wellbeing Week Matters
In the UK, wellbeing is now more important than ever. With NHS waiting lists and daily pressures impacting access to everyday healthcare, it’s easy for your wellbeing to take a backseat.
World Wellbeing Week is a global initiative that shines a spotlight on the many aspects of wellbeing, from exercise and nutrition to financial wellness and community connection. For us at WHA Healthcare, it’s a perfect opportunity to support you with small, daily changes that make a big difference.
The 5 Days of Wellbeing Challenge
This challenge is easy to start, free to join, and designed with real life in mind. Each day focuses on a different area of wellbeing, with a quick activity to try and a link to support you in taking the next step.
Day 1: Move Your Body (Physical Wellbeing)
Mini activity
Take a 15-minute walk or longer if you already take walks. You could consider walking in a local park, or a lap around the block.
Why it matters
Movement boosts mood, improves circulation, reduces stress, and is an opportunity to get some fresh air. Even light exercise helps.
Support your wellness
If muscle strain is holding you back, our health cover could help you access treatment sooner.
Day 2: Nourish Your Mind (Mental Wellbeing)
Mini activity
Take 10 minutes today to do a guided meditation or simply sit quietly with your thoughts.
Why it matters
Mental wellbeing is just as vital as physical health. Small mindful moments help protect against burnout.
Helpful link
Try a free mindfulness session from Mind UK.
Day 3: Connect With Someone (Social Wellbeing)
Mini activity
Call or message someone you haven’t spoken to in a while. A quick chat can do wonders.
Why it matters
Loneliness affects 3.8 million adults in the UK. Social connection is essential for wellbeing.
Let’s keep it going
Encourage a colleague or friend to join the challenge too. Share the joy and share this link.
Day 4: Sleep on It (Rest & Recovery)
Mini activity
Switch off your devices 30 minutes before bed tonight and read or relax instead.
Why it matters
Good sleep improves immunity, focus, and mood. It’s often the first step to feeling better.
Wellbeing tip
If disrupted sleep is related to ongoing aches or stress, our health plans could offer affordable support for treatments like acupuncture or counselling.
Day 5: Feel Financially Secure (Financial Wellbeing)
Mini activity
Review one financial goal today, whether it’s a savings target or reviewing subscriptions.
Why it matters
Financial stress is a major contributor to anxiety in the UK. Feeling in control helps us feel safe.
Real peace of mind
Explore our simple, affordable health cover that helps manage everyday healthcare costs.
