Unleashing Greatness: How to Make Progress in Your Wellness Journey
In a time where a
new trend pops up virtually every other day, there’s one that we all love to
see: people embracing a healthier and more active lifestyle. This is evident in
the rise of content that focuses on improving oneself both physically and
mentally, from Strava posts tracking personal records to eating balanced meals,
sleeping well, and managing stress.
Feeling inspired to
be part of the growing wellness movement? Or are you one of those who want to
get back on track? Whichever it is, Southstar
Drug and Maxicare are your
partners in fully realizing your best self yet through Run for Wellness 2025. The annual running event encourages
participants to take simple but meaningful steps toward a healthier and more
balanced life. And for its 14th edition, it aims to celebrate the progress and
process that goes into unleashing one’s inner greatness even beyond the finish
line.

It starts with
choosing to eat healthy. Food is the fuel that you need to do the things you
love, so eat what’s good for you. Meal planning and opting for home-cooked
meals are great ways to better track your food intake and cut down the junk.
Next, maintain a healthy sleep hygiene to ensure that you’re getting at least
seven hours of good sleep that your body needs to function at its optimal
state.
A healthy
well-being is also rooted in the mind. Engaging in calm activities, connecting
with your inner self, and organizing your environment can relieve unnecessary
worries and free space for clearer thoughts. Doing these will ease your mental
state and reduce stress that could reflect in the body.
Lastly, as the new
found appreciation for exercising is motivating people to be more active, make
sure to start off slowly before gradually increasing the intensity of your
chosen activity as you gain more strength and endurance. Don’t forget to warm
up and cool down accordingly, and to always stay hydrated!
Drastic changes
don’t come overnight, but choosing to commit to small yet consistent actions
will help you build a strong foundation for an improved well-being.
“This year’s theme
of Unleashing Greatness is really about giving Filipinos the avenue to start or
restart their wellness journey. This also reflects our shared goal of promoting
wellness through programs that are inclusive, impactful, and community-driven,”
said Thaddeus Sanchez, General Manager of Southstar Drug.
“Together with
Southstar Drug, we want to empower participants to embrace healthy habits and
become the best version of themselves,” said Raymond Hernandez, Chief Customer
Officer of Maxicare.
