Event Wellbeing Week Day 1 – Permission to Pause

Welcome to Day 1 of Event Wellbeing Week. Today, we’re starting with something simple but powerful: Permission to Pause. In the events world, constant movement is the norm — but rest is not a weakness, it’s a strength. It’s time we made space for it.

Why Rest Matters for Event Professionals:

Rest improves focus, lowers stress, enhances decision-making, and builds resilience — all critical skills in high-pressure environments. When you pause, you don’t fall behind. You refuel.

Practical Tips:

  • Schedule short, regular breaks throughout the day
  • Add buffer time between meetings or sessions
  • Use micro-practices like the 4–7–8 breathing method
  • Create or visit a wellbeing or quiet space onsite
  • Give yourself grace — guilt-free

Workplace Implementation Ideas:

  • Encourage team check-ins focused on wellbeing
  • Promote rest on internal comms channels
  • Provide accessible sensory or recharge zones at events

Quote of the Day:

“You don’t have to earn your rest. You’re allowed to pause.”
