WOW Women Event in Shepparton

by admin May 26, 2019
WOW Women

On Sunday 26 May 2019, I attended my second WOW Women One Day Event in Shepparton. I have sponsored the event both times, and the format has changed slightly each time. There was much more of a fundraising focus the first time, but the second time was a shorter day and more focus on the women. There was a raffle both times, for fundraising, but less promotion as that being the main purpose this time.

Over a high tea, about 200 ladies listened to the speakers. The token male, Marcus Pearce, talked about health; Kim Morrison spoke about happiness; and my mentor Tracey Sofra spoke about wealth. 

Kim went first, and gave us all a very practical way of developing self-love, with very practical examples, including the personal example of her own son. From self-awareness, being the first step, we can then put in place a self-care practice. That self-care practice needs to become a discipline rather than a short-term practice. Self-discipline breeds self-control. Having self-control gives us self-respect, and self-acceptance or self-love. And so the cycle continues.

I was very impressed with Kim, and bought her book, The Art of Self Love.

Tracey was the second speaker, and I’m already a big fan of Tracey – I am in her WOW Women group, and she is my financial planner. Her book is Finding Financial Freedom.

After lunch, we heard from a panel of successful ladies in the Goulburn Valley, and then we had Marcus to finish us off for the day – on happiness.

Marcus has studied many people who live to a ripe old age, in a health way. He has been a vegan himself, but has come to the realisation that diet is not the answer to health. He says there are eight keys to happiness and a long life:

  1. Having purpose in your life; doing what you love, and loving what you do.
  2. Moving; not necessarily exercising, but certainly having more movement than sedentary behaviour.
  3. Having a social life; making time to social can boost self-esteem and make you feel part of a community.
  4. Nutrition is important, but not the sole focus. It is about wholefoods, and eating intelligently.
  5. Family life and close bonds.
  6. Never stop learning and problem solving.
  7. Spend less than you earn.
  8. Having faith or a spiritual practice that helps you to have a sense of belonging in the world, and helps you to have perspective. 

This, along with a couple of other things that have happened this week, have made me decide to re-commit to having an exceptional routine and rituals in my life, for self-care and happiness.
