World Health Day is more than just a date on the calendar—it’s a reminder of the importance of well-being for individuals and communities around the globe. At 99.9 Live FM, health is at the core of who we are. As a station that partners with Youth With a Mission (YWAM), we’re committed to seeing healthy lives, communities, and nations thrive. Through initiatives like the YWAM Medical Ship, which brings medical care to underserved areas in Papua New Guinea, and our community outreach here in Townsville, health is not just a buzzword for us; it’s a mission.
This year, in celebration of World Health Day, we’re focusing on holistic health—body, mind, and spirit. We want to equip you with tools, resources, and practical conversations to help you prioritize your own well-being and support the well-being of others in your community.
One of those resources is a free Well-Being Workbook, designed to help you create healthy habits of gratitude, empathy, and mindfulness in your daily life. You can download it below and use it as a guide to improve your overall well-being.
Why Does This Matter?
World Health Day, recognized by the World Health Organization, reminds us that health is not just about the absence of illness—it’s about creating environments where people can flourish. Health is physical, but it’s also emotional, relational, and spiritual. At Live FM, we believe that we contribute to stronger, healthier communities when we care for ourselves and others.
Ways to Invest in Your Health Today
- Gratitude: Take time to reflect on what you’re thankful for. Gratitude improves mental health and increases joy.
- Connection: Reach out to a friend or loved one. Strong relationships are key to emotional well-being.
- Rest: Prioritize sleep and moments of stillness. Your body and mind will thank you.
- Nutrition & Movement: Fuel your body with healthy foods and move in ways that bring you joy.
- Faith & Reflection: Take time to be still, pray, or meditate on Scripture. Spiritual health is just as important as physical health.
We encourage you to download the Well-Being Workbook below and set aside some time today to focus on your health—because healthy people help create healthy communities!
