What is wellness?
Wellness is an active process of becoming aware of and making choices toward a healthy and fulfilling life. Wellness is more than being free from illness; it is a dynamic process of change and growth. It is a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.
Do we need wellness in our lives?
We all need to take a step back from our everyday life once in a while. All of us, irrespective of gender, age, size, shape or perceived attractiveness; it is wellness that is the cornerstone of quality of life. It determines how we ultimately look, feel, interact with others and thrive in life and work. We all spend far too much time attached in some way to a mobile device, or staring at a screen.
We need to take care of ourselves: go for a walk, go for a run, ride a bike or come and stay with us in our off-grid traditional shepherd’s hut, with uninterrupted views and peace and quiet.
When was the last time you stopped and looked up at the sky? Nature has a fantastic way of reconnecting us.
Its time to relax, unwind and refresh, your mobile phone needs to recharge and so do you!
How does the concept of wellness affect the way we choose our holidays?
Wellness tourism is a globally expanding market and if this were to be available in conjunction with short breaks then more people could; and would take advantage of this. This in turn will help to improve your mental health and wellbeing, making a happier environment for us all to live in.
Escape to a Shepherd’s Hut
Take a moment to appreciate the sights and sounds of nature which we have in abundance here at Creeside Escape Shepherd’s Hut. Listen to the birds, a buzzard overhead, a cuckoo in a tree, or geese swimming in the river. The gentle rustle of leaves on the trees can sound like music to your ears. One of the simplest things is to enjoy your morning cup of tea with the sun on your face. Even wind and rain can feel strangely comforting when you are in the right surroundings.
Wellness and the Environment
Within the wellness movement is an appreciation of the impact that travel can have on the environment. Travellers are aware of their actions and are increasingly looking to offset this, while maintaining the experiences and aspirations they set out to achieve.
Why fly half way around the world when you can find amazing opportunities closer to home? Aiming to be as sustainable as possible?
Take it Slow
When you think of slow travel it should be SLOW……………… don’t hurry, take your time to appreciate and enjoy your surroundings. Read a book, play a board game or look through binoculars. All of these activities can be enjoyed when you stay with us. Our beautiful and undiscovered corner of South West Scotland offers an abundance of wellbeing opportunities; vast natural landscapes with breath taking scenery offer a wealth of ways to feed the body, mind and soul. In a world full of noise and technology, escape and recharge.
What are you waiting for?
1 night’s self-catering accommodation in our off-grid traditional shepherd’s hut is £60, based on 2 adults sharing, which is much cheaper than a gym membership!
