10 COMMANDMENTS TO GLOW UP

Everyone will face their own unique challenges in life – juggling hectic schedules, shouldering numerous responsibilities and working really hard. To continue excelling in your personal or professional lives, you need to take time off to Reset, Refresh and Recharge.

AIA GLOW Festival – The Ultimate Festival to Unwind is coming to you on Saturday, 25 May 2019 can be just the place you need to be at to put that spring back in your step. Follow these 10 simple commandments and you will always be one step ahead of the stress and worries in your life. 

#1 Do Less, Think More

Whether you are completing your degree, working hard in your career, or participating at our AIA GLOW Festival activities, try to do less and think more.

This allows you to reflect and unwind and also gives you the time and space to think about what you want to achieve and how to become better.

#2 Enjoy The Here And Now

To enjoy the “here and now” is to live in the moment. Take charge every day of your life, and find a balance with your work, family and personal life.

When you need a break, AIA GLOW Festival enables you to unwind the way you want with yoga in the day, music in the night, and chilling and feasting in between.

#3 Go Offline as Often as Possible

While technology and social media have made the world more connected, we may become disconnected with our reality.

Disconnect to connect – put your laptops and mobile phones away to give your mind and body a break from the screens and stress.

#4 Find a Work-Life Balance

Try to dedicate time away from the stress of your work to unwind and concentrate on the things that matter. Focus on your emotional and physical well-being by allocating some “me time” to yourself whenever needed.

Also, remember to spend quality time with your loved ones and create memories that you can look back on with fondness.

#5 Meditate

Meditation is the act of focusing one’s mind for a period of time as a way to relax. By meditating, you are training your mind to better manage stress, increase calmness and seek clarity so as to be ready to face challenges ahead.

Glow Tip: Yoga and meditation go hand-in-hand! Practising yoga improves balance, endurance, flexibility, and strength. On the other hand, meditation keeps the mind sharp, reduces stress and improves overall well-being. Not only do the yoga sessions at the AIA GLOW Festival allow you to build core muscles, but they are also useful in providing you with a clear mind to consider your future and goals in life.

Schedules to Celebrity Yogis and Pure Yoga sessions can be found here.

#6 Get a Good Night’s Sleep

The benefits of a good night’s sleep cannot be emphasised enough. Being well-rested allows you to increase your productivity and enhances your interpersonal relationships. Get a good night’s sleep tonight in order to get more out of “every tomorrow.”

#7 Enjoy Nature

As city dwellers, we are constantly surrounded by the hustle and bustle of a hectic life. Hence, it is important for us to take time off to immerse ourselves in nature and to enjoy picturesque natural landscapes around us. Sometimes, the smallest things can be the greatest reminders of the beauty and meaning of life.

#8 Focus on your Food

Food = Happiness is an equation we all relate to. Enjoying a healthy and hearty meal can change your outlook on life and give you that extra spring in your step.

At the AIA GLOW Festival, get to meet Jeremy Pang, the Founder of School of Wok in London and AIA’s Healthy Living Chef, and learn to make healthy and delectable delights! Jeremy will be hosting masterclasses on Healthy Dim Sum throughout the day. You can register for his masterclasses at the event.
