The 25th of November marks the 1st day of the United Nations (UN) 16 Days of Activism Campaign against Gender Violence:

RESPECT WOMEN: CALL IT OUT 'RESPECT IS..."

When asked how we are, we typically say we are ok because often we think of our physical health as it is easy to identify and measure.

Considering our mental, emotional, social and spiritual health is important in achieving holistic health.

COVID-19 has made it more challenging therefore if you haven't already, connect (virtually or in-person if you can), with nature, a friend/s or family, be self-compassionate if things haven't gone your way and take a moment to express gratitude for the things that you have.

We move a step closer to optimal health when we acknowledge the role of culture, among other contributing factors, and our belief around health and healing. Culture is deep-rooted in how our families of origin and heritage, community and societal traditions and belief embrace or dismiss health and wellbeing.

How do you feel your culture has impacted your journey to optimal physical and mental wellbeing?
