Put simply, Glow Hour is a movement of like-minded people who believe the simple act of scheduling one hour for self reflection on a regular basis can improve a person's mental health and well being.

Whether you're a mum, a dad, a student, a parent, a CEO, or anything in between, taking an hour to reflect upon your mental health is something that everyone can do.

Not at all.Being part of Glow Hour is totally Free. This is a personal thing to do anywhere, anytime. 

Getting involved in Glow Hour is easy. All you have to do is scheduleone hourin your diary to spend some time on your own. No not cooking, not at the gym, not about doing the groceries and definitely not cleaning your house.Glow Hour is simply about QUALITY time for YOU.And you only.

It has to be uninterupted time - without devices, without kids, spouses.

We know that for some people finding the time is going to be hard and the sheer fact that they have to do this a little daunting. However, it is these people that GLow Hour could not be more relevant. Glow Hour is about talking just one hour from your busy day to day activities just to on yourself. You can spend your Glow Hour anyway you like. Think about the future and what you want or simply sit in silence taking a break from the world around you.   

Glow Hour was inspired by over 3,600 mums from across Australia who have been connected via a single passion of elevating the well-being and enriching the lives of others. For over 20 years they have been working along side each other, supporting each other and also assisting charities across Australia. Glow Hour is now a manifestation and higher purpose of their work. Many members of this unique group of women have recently suggested that perhaps a National Day could be created to mark a simple event like spending an hour on just focusing on themselves and their mental health. The outcome was Glow Hour. But instead of an annual day. They all thought it would be more powerful to launch it back on June 22, 2023 but taking an hour for oneself throughout the year to look after their mental health. Please note - Each and everyone of these mums know exactly how fragile the balance is with their immediate, extended family and friends network. That's why Glow Hour was formed. To simply stop and reset as regularly as needed be that fortnightly, monthly or whatever suits best.

By prioritising self-reflection, we tap into our inner wisdom, unlock new perspectives, and gain valuable insights that guide us towards a more fulfilled and purposeful life. It is through this intentional practice that we strengthen our emotional resilience, develop a greater sense of self-awareness, and build the foundation for improved relationships and decision-making. In a world that often demands our attention and energy, consciously setting aside time for self-reflection becomes an act of self-empowerment and self-care. It is an investment in our mental well-being and personal growth. May we embrace the transformative potential that lies within the simple act of taking time to pause, reflect, and connect with our inner selves. By doing so, we embark on a remarkable journey towards a more balanced, resilient, and authentic life.

Could You Be the Voice of Glow Hour?

The Always On Culture has built a culture that celebrates being constantly busy.

But very few people talk about the importance of intentionally pausing.

Between work, technology and daily responsibilities, many people rarely stop long enough to reflect, reset and reconnect with themselves.

That observation led us to start building something at Glow Collection called Glow Hour.

Glow Hour is a simple wellbeing concept encouraging people to consciously schedule one hour to pause, reflect and reset.

Research shows that even small moments of intentional self-reflection can improve emotional wellbeing, reduce stress and strengthen self-awareness.

Our vision is to grow Glow Hour into a community-led wellbeing movement, where people create calm spaces - often as simple as lighting a candle, putting phones away and giving themselves permission to pause.

As we build this initiative, we’re now looking for a National Spokesperson for Glow Hour.

Someone who lives in the wellbeing space - perhaps through yoga, mindfulness, coaching or wellness leadership - and who feels comfortable guiding others and sharing the message publicly.

This will be a paid consulting role helping shape and lead the movement.

If this resonates with you, or someone in your network comes to mind, we’d love to connect. please email us support@glowcollection.au

Because sometimes the most powerful thing we can do in a busy world is simply:

Pause.

No. Glow Hour started on June 22, 2023 and we hope that everyone who participated and those about to start continues to consciously schedule one hour for self reflection either weekly, fortnightly, monthly - whatever suits them. For it to be of benefit to you it needs to become a regular thing. We hope to attract tens if not hundreds of thousands of people to Glow hour over the coming years.

Absolutely YES!  In fact we encourage as many CEO's or HR executives as possible to get involved. Mental Health is so important to all emoployers and their employees. We have a Corporate Glow Hour Program that will be available shortly however in the meantime we simply ask any HR manager who sees Glow Hour to encourage their team to schedule one hour (on whatever frequency they feel comfortable with) and just get involved.
