While planning to write this article, we asked, “What is one thing it takes to live a fulfilling life?” An entrepreneur in his 30s mentioned money. A self-employed man in his 20s said, “Helping others accomplish their purpose in life.” Meanwhile, a female employee said, “A good relationship with God.”
At #HugDayEvent, we believe true success is a harmonious blend of various aspects of our lives. It is not just about achieving career goals or financial milestones; it is about nurturing every facet of our existence to create a balanced and fulfilling life. This philosophy is encapsulated in The Hugger’s Five Wheels of Success: mental, physical, emotional, financial, and spiritual health (MPEFS). Each of these wheels plays a crucial role in our overall well-being and success, forming the foundation of #HugDayEvent.
What is the Origin of the Hugger’s Five Wheels of Success?
The #HugDayEvent project started in 2023 to create a global community prioritising mental well-being and celebrating success. It anchors on the philosophy that physical, emotional, financial, and spiritual health contribute to good mental health. This philosophy forms The Hugger’s Five Wheels of Success.
Who is a Hugger?
The word Hugger is derived from “hug,” meaning to embrace someone to express love, support, affection, or care. #HugDayEvent aims to create solutions to support humanity in achieving mental well-being. Every member of #HugDayEvent is called a Hugger. The definition of “Hugger” can be simplified to someone who embraces the philosophy of #HugDayEvent. #HugDayEvent reinforces the belief that every Hugger is a winner and every winner is a Hugger, meaning every successful person is a Hugger. And we celebrate success.
Understanding the Hugger’s Five Wheels of Success
The Hugger’s Five Wheels of Success developed from our in-depth understanding of the dynamic human condition and psychology. Here is how each wheel impacts our existence:
1. Mental Health: The Foundation of Clarity and Focus
Mental health is the cornerstone of our overall well-being. It involves our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. Prioritising mental health equips us to handle stress, make thoughtful decisions, and maintain positive relationships. Our mental health relies on feedback from our physical, emotional, financial, and spiritual health. That is why #HugDayEvent focuses on education and events that promote relaxation, exploration, financial health, networking, and healthy habits.
2. Physical Health: The Pillar of Strength and Vitality
Our physical health is vital for a productive and energetic life. Regular exercise, a balanced diet, and sufficient sleep are the building blocks of physical wellness. Physical activities strengthen our bodies and improve our mood and mental health. A healthy body fosters a healthy mind, creating a positive feedback loop that enhances overall well-being. At #HugDayEvent, we encourage our members to exercise and motivate others using the hashtag #HugWorkout.
3. Emotional Health: The Key to Resilience and Compassion
Emotional health involves understanding and managing emotions, building healthy relationships, and developing empathy. Recognising and expressing our feelings can significantly improve our emotional well-being. Practices such as journaling, meditation, and connecting with loved ones help build emotional resilience. #HugDayEvent shares educational posts and interviews combined with a counsellor/therapist for our well-being. We also organise events to spread love and help people discover and unleash their potential.
4. Financial Health: The Assurance of Stability and Freedom
Financial health is more than just having money in the bank; it is about feeling secure and meeting our needs and goals. Financial literacy, budgeting, saving, and investing are crucial components of financial wellness. Managing finances with wisdom reduces stress and creates a foundation for long-term stability and freedom. #HugDayEvent focuses on publishing articles and organising events that foster financial success.
5. Spiritual Health: The Path to Inner Peace and Purpose
Spiritual health involves finding meaning and purpose by exploring our values, beliefs, and the deeper aspects of our existence. Whether through religion, meditation, nature, personal reflection, or acts of kindness, nurturing our spiritual health helps us connect with something greater than ourselves. This connection brings inner peace, enhances our sense of purpose, and guides us through ups and downs. At #HugDayEvent, we recommend choosing a form of spirituality that offers peace, hope, and calmness. Read the article Africans Are Religious, But Who Else?
