I find with good mental health everything else comes easier, like my physical health, motivation to eat well, better relationships with family and friends and general motivation to do the things I know I enjoy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do you have a self-care routine? If so, what does it entail?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>My self-care routine is making regular time for myself, to do the things that I want to do on my own terms. This may be simply arranging to meet up with a friend for a chat, or more commonly on the extreme end of things like going for a walk up a mountain or going off on a camping trip for a few days myself. A healthy amount of selfishness!<\/p>\n<p><strong>What do you think are the biggest barriers preventing men from adopting wellness and self-care practices?<br \/>\n<\/strong>In terms of skin care, for me, the reason I have never started any skin care routine, other than moisturising my face occasionally, is because I have never felt the need for one. I don\u2019t feel the pressure from people or society to try and reduce redness, reduce wrinkles, avoid baldness, etc. And I\u2019m thankful to feel like that.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of mental health, people and men in particular don\u2019t talk about it enough but I think that\u2019s getting better. I also think a big barrier to sustaining good mental health is that people don\u2019t fully understand what\u2019s important to them or focus on the wrong things. Self discovery is an important part of wellness to allow you to focus on what\u2019s truly important to you, and not just what is expected of you. People pleasing might feel like the right thing to do at the time but it\u2019s not always the right thing for you in the long term.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What steps do you think brands can take to normalise self-care for men?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I guess just keep talking about mental health, and appreciating that there isn\u2019t a one size fits all solution for each person.
