"On the tail end of a worldwide pandemic, it is more important than ever to take care of ourselves. Now is the time to be introspective- to look at your life and take notes. When it comes to overall wellness, we can break it down into three groups: mind, body and soul. It’s about more than what you see on the outside. It’s time we got real about the way society stigmatises our real issues. If we aren’t open about our experiences, the stereotypes around issues like mental health, body image and gender will continue. Nothing about the human body is “unnatural” so why do we think that way when it comes to ourselves? People are complex beings, we need to stop trying to put people into boxes and start celebrating the things that make us different. Talking about the mind, body and soul is vulnerable, uncomfortable and sometimes even painful. But at the same time, it can be liberating, therapeutic and inspiring. Let’s take a journey to explore ourselves."
