As the year speedily rushes to wind up, we all can see and feel that we are approaching the holiday seasons that would mark the end of this year and the beginning of a new one.
Holidays!
Can you ever get enough of those? I mean, I am sure I am not the only one that is always looking forward to a holiday or work-free day, lol.
In different parts of the world, certain dates are reserved as Holidays or work-free days in order to mark certain historical events, religious events, or to show support for a particular cause or the other.
In my beloved country Nigeria, there are so many public Holidays observed in order to commemorate one event or the other. But, that will not stop me from proposing or suggesting that a new holiday be included in the calendar, to be observed not only in Nigeria but all over the world.
The holiday I would love to propose is "WORRY-FREE DAY". On second thoughts, "ANXIETY SUPPORT DAY" sounds like a better tag. Now, here is why I am choosing to propose this.
A lot of individuals, families and businesses are experiencing difficult times and everyone is facing a lot of pressure from different fronts. The financial challenges, hunger issues
and health problems being experienced by people all over the world cannot even be quantified in anyway.
I am not sure that there is anyone who is not affected by all the negative things happening around them (except maybe the politicians in our communities).
Apart from the things I mentioned above, a lot of people are having anxiety as a result of traumatic experiences like loss of a loved-one or loss of job, or domestic violence etc.
How To Mark This Special Holiday
Having a day set aside just for the purpose of identifying with people having anxiety issues, offering encouragement, with enlightenment campaigns by mental health experts or ambassadors will definitely make a great impact on people's lives. A lot of people are dealing with so much anxiety, so let's make a difference.
It will be great for people who are suffering from anxiety attacks to know that we see them, hear them and feel what they are going through. Therefore, religious outreaches and medical outreaches should be included as part of the campaigns on such holiday.
My HPUD Participation
Today is another day to make a difference in my Hive Journey. I have decided to stake about 50 HIVE tokens once again, as I have been doing for the major part of this year.
Today's Power Up brings my HP to about 1128, and I am happy for that considering that it has been an uphill task showing up here with all the things I am trying to deal with offline. But, it is all good. After, we live to fight another day.
Thank you for reading. There is still time for you to join in the HPUD challenge ( ie, if your date is still 1st November, 2024, lol). Otherwise, you can still power up any day, any time but then no badge from HiveBuzz, hehehe.
