“Take care of your body. It’s the only place you have to live.”
Jim Rohn
Health is the quiet rhythm of rest, nourishment, movement and recovery that lets you show up fully in life.
When your body has what it needs, you feel strong, steady and alive. But even with the best intentions, it’s easy to drift. The realities of daily life get in the way and healthy habits get derailed: meals are skipped, workouts fall through and we find ourselves running on empty.
Modern life doesn’t always make it easy; its pace quietly nudges us to keep going and fit more in. We track and optimise more than ever, yet it’s still easy to miss the body’s subtler cues – the moments when we’re a little tired, a little wired, a little off-balance.
Health is ultimately about tuning back into yourself – listening more and catching the cues you’d usually push past, supporting your body better and creating the kind of everyday vitality you really feel.
Psychology spotlight - Interoception
Interoception is your ability to sense what’s happening inside your body – hunger, energy, tension, temperature, subtle shifts in how you feel. When life gets busy, we lose touch with these signals, and small needs go unnoticed until they become bigger issues.
Did you know?
Allostatic load is the cumulative wear and tear on the body from repeated micro-stress – the little hits your body absorbs all day. Even when each one is tiny, together they can disrupt sleep, mood, weight and long-term health.
Inside the body
Our body is always working to maintain and get back to homeostasis – its natural balance. The more closely we listen and respond to our body’s feedback that something is out of sync, the healthier and better we feel.
Health at work
Your body runs on a daily ‘energy budget’, and work draws on it more than we realise; every ping, meeting and decision uses it up. If we don’t protect that biological fuel, the steady rhythm of demands can leave us feeling drained by the end of the day.
