Healthy for me is about integrated wellbeing. It’s about balance and considering the different aspects of ourselves, the obvious one in my line of work being the one that many ignore or push out of sight: sex and sexuality.
Wellbeing and health impact all aspects of our lives, and we can recognise that when one part of out lives is out of kilter that it can impact other parts of our physical and psychological wellbeing.
Health for me is about recognising and accepting that this is all variable; that life goes up and down and that we understand that there is no generalised ‘normal’ only what is normal for us as individuals.
