WPA kicks off 2025 with ‘Pause and Reset’ to nurture and improve health, happiness and resilience

6 January 2025

Building on the success of January 2024’s Recharge campaign giving bodies and minds a boost, WPA is excited to announce the launch of Pause and Reset; helping individuals, their families, friends and colleagues to take a moment and prioritise their health and wellbeing.

Every New Year, there are lots of messages about undoing the indulgences of Christmas, getting to the gym and shifting the holiday excess. WPA wants to encourage everyone to take a moment and think of themselves; to understand what makes them happy, what makes them ‘tick’, to Pause and Reset for the year ahead.

Throughout January, WPA will host three focus weeks to inspire positive change with each themed to highlight key areas of personal wellbeing:

• Sleep (January 6–12) – With 69% of people struggling with sleep issues and never seeking support, Week 1 focuses on establishing healthy bedtime routines and consistent sleep schedules to improve sleep quality
• Time (January 13–19) – Week 2 encourages individuals to carve out time for activities that bring joy and foster connection. In today’s fast-paced world, setting aside time for happiness can boost productivity by up to 12%
• Health (January 20–26) – In Week 3, participants will explore mindfulness practices such as deep breathing, massage, meditation, and yoga. Mental health podcasts, like the Headstrong Podcast, and other content will be shared to enhance overall wellbeing

WPA will release new content throughout January on their website and social media channels. These resources are designed to empower members and the wider community to take charge of their health and respond to their unique needs.

Pause and Reset month is also being supported by the WPA Health and Wellbeing hub, a library of useful videos and articles, available to all, to nudge individuals beyond WPA to a healthier lifestyle.

As part of the promotion, WPA are offering participants the opportunity to win a Rhia Nano massage gun, with heat and percussion therapy settings. See the full Terms and Conditions; the draw closes at 4pm on 31 January 2025.

Mark Southern, WPA’s Sales and Marketing Director, said: “Everyone is getting busier, so it’s never been more important to ensure that we take some time to understand our health and prepare ourselves for everyday life.

“This Pause and Reset month, our social media channels and health and wellbeing hub are the ideal places to start that process. Take a pause this January; sleep better, understand your mental and physical wellbeing and find ways of prioritising time for yourself every day.”
