A perfect summers evening in London was had with go ahead! last week when I was invited to the launch of #FeelGood, a great new campaign by the brand to identify the 50 top Feel Good Moments in life. Unveiled at a stunning, one-off, event created by go ahead! at Cannon Street Gardens in Central London last night, consumers could experience these feel good moments and more – with edible fruity art installations and fruity entertainment like a melon bowling alley.
Sophia Davis, one of the UK’s leading life coaches who helped compile the research with go ahead! said: “It’s been interesting to see what came out on top from the go ahead! research; a lot of what makes us feel good is often based in nature.
“It’s no surprise walking in sunshine was the nation’s number one feel good feeling, as sitting outside in the sun gives us vitamin D and boosts levels of serotonin, the body’s natural happy hormone. Similarly with hugging – it instantly boosts oxytocin levels, healing feelings of loneliness, isolation and anger.”
