[EVENT] Move & Live: What is Your Life's Purpose? an Experience by The Busy Woman Project X WeWork

Hong Kong, 8th Feb 2018 (Thursday)

In 2018, The Busy Woman Project set its intentions to raise more awareness on building resilience; with a focus on overall wellbeing. Why do some people suffer real adversity and not buckle? Resilient people have been theorised to possess three characteristics: a firm acceptance of reality; a deep belief that life is meaningful, and exceptional improvisation skills.

"Move & Live" is conceptualized upon this premise and in-line with 1Q18 theme: Living a Purposeful Life.

Goal of #livingmypurpose: Create awareness among individuals & the broader community to just take a pause to think...if they actually have a purpose? If yes, are they living their purpose? If

"The syndrome that has tried to rule my adult life" - The Busy Woman Project community member Tracy Anderson

As long as I can remember, I never had a regular period. I remember going to my doctor as a naive 16 year old and asking to go on the pill as I was never quite sure when my menses would arrive. This really should ring alarm bells for any doctor - but for mine, it didn't.

As I finished high

Together On Top: Javier Perez and Sharon Lee (Kilo & Grain Traders, Singapore, Bali, Jakarta)

We know our #TEAMBUSYWOMAN community members are strong advocates of supporting fellow women...and it is always amazing & inspiring when we hear of women doing great things, or being "superwomen" - handling multiple things AND actually thriving.

Men are just as important, or even more so, on our quest toward gender equality. Their ability to recognize and acknowledge that gender bias is an issue, and empower women around them, is essential for any progress to be made.

Prolonged stress can lead to health issues like depression and anxiety. Long hours at work coupled with a sedentary lifestyle also results in weight gain and chronic illnesses like diabetes and heart disease. Many a time, one health issue increases the possibility of other problems down the road.

Finding Your Tribe: How it Affects Your Brain, Health & Longevity

Strong social connections and a sense of belonging are vital to our health and wellbeing. When we have connected, secure relationships with others, our immune system is stronger, helping us to recover faster from any illnesses and our overall health is generally better! Conversely, the health risks from social isolation are comparable to the risks associated with cigarette smoking, high blood pressure and obesity.
