Celebration Of Life Month

The time to celebrate the reason we are all here occurs during Celebration Of Life Month, which is observed throughout January. This special holiday was created by Food for Health International to encourage us to step back from our usually busy lives and appreciate our existence.

HOW TO CELEBRATE CELEBRATION OF LIFE MONTH

  1. Take some days to rest

    Mental health is a key aspect of how we look at ourselves and the world at large. Take a few days to rest and reflect on the previous year as well as your plans for this year. Spend this time meditating or doing whatever is necessary to keep your mental health in a nice, stable space.

  2. Engage in leisure activities

    What do you like to do for fun? Maybe it’s exercising, painting, or even dancing! Whatever it is, use this month to explore all the leisure activities that are important to you. The more time you spend doing them, the more relaxed and fulfilled you will feel.

  3. Spend time with family

    Family and friends are core parts of our lives, and there is honestly no celebration without your loved ones around. This month, prioritize these relationships by setting aside time to spend with them. Make sure you include activities all parties would enjoy.

5 IMPORTANT FACTS ABOUT LIFE

  1. The universe has a color

    Johns Hopkins University researchers discovered that the combined color of the universe is kind of beige, and they named it ‘cosmic latte.’

  2. An aspirin might save your life

    Taking an aspirin at the first sign of a heart attack can inhibit the blood from clotting.

  3. Friends are life-savers

    Research at Michigan State University proves that people with active social circles tend to live longer.

  4. Your body is larger than the Earth

    There are trillions of life forms and microbes on your body, which is more than the amount of life on Earth.

  5. Rain has an actual smell

    The smell you enjoy so much when it rains is called ‘petrichor.’

WHY WE LOVE CELEBRATION OF LIFE MONTH

  1. It’s an opportunity to celebrate

    Who doesn’t love a good reason to celebrate? Well, Celebration Of Life Month provides a great reason to do so! This observance allows us to celebrate the one thing that should be most important to us — life.

  2. It puts things in perspective

    The hustle and bustle of life cause us to forget about the things that matter. This celebration puts things into perspective as we remember that being alive is what matters the most.

  3. It’s a celebration of us

    It’s a celebration not only of life but of each one of us. Celebration Of Life Month encourages us to celebrate our existence and the bodies we live in every day.
