I want to be well.
Not insta-comparing.
Not “should be doing better”
Not hating on my reflection in the mirror.
Not fat shaming myself.
Not dysmorphic – I want to be able to truly see myself when I look at my reflection or photos of myself.
Not starving myself.
Not drowning my misery in alcohol, comfort food or toxic social media.
Not wasting time and energy wishing I were someone else, someone better.
Not judging myself for every big and little wrong turn since my time on the planet began.
Not afraid to speak up for fear of being laughed at or dismissed.
Not wanting to be someone I’m not.
Not living with constant anxiety, worry that something is going to go wrong, that I’m not going to be good enough, not going to realise my potential.
Eating for pleasure, to nourish my body and soul (and sometime that means cheese!).
Exercising to feel good, not to undo indulgences or in a desperate attempt to morph my body into that of a supermodel.
Spending time with people who love me for who I am, who I feel safe with.
Journaling, meditating, reading, to nurture myself, not just because it’s a good habit.
I want to take back control of my wellness. I want to be able to look anyone in the eye when they ask me “How are you? Are you well?” and say, without hesitation, quite proudly and happily “Yes, I am well”.
Are you sick and tired of being… well, sick and tired? Are you looking to take back responsibility and control from the whirlwind around you? Join the Club. The Well Club!
The Well Club is for coming together to share our wellness journey. And that will look different for each of us. It’s a space to share resources and learnings, take some challenges together and uplift each other. Because the journey is not easy. If it was, we wouldn’t even be talking about it.
Quite simply, I believe the way to wellness comes from a basic equation:
Good food, thoughts, kindness and love + your mind and body = your most well self.
Equally, crap food, bad thoughts, hate and anger + your mind and body = your least well self.
It’s a simple equation, but not an easy one to live. Because it’s easy to put good stuff in to your mind and body, but it’s also easy NOT to do. It’s easy to put crap in because it’s often habitual: constant self sabotage, a Saturday morning burger, endless negative insta-comparisons that make you feel fat, old, unaccomplished and lonely. Often if I find myself on that journey, its hours (sometimes days) before I even realise or can turn myself around.
My hope is that by starting a Club – a safe place for us to hang out virtually – the journey can be a little easier, a little more supported and ultimately successful.
