Here’s what’s wrong with the wellness industry

This is another one of those blogs that makes me a little nervous to write, but it’s a subject that’s been on my mind for a while. When I first started Blue Jay of Happiness I wasn’t sure what niche or category it would fit in, but since I had ‘health’ in my tagline, I thought I would look at other health bloggers for inspiration and even signed up to…

The physical health bias

I’ve been working in the mental health world for over five years now, and before that experienced mental health problems of my own. This experience means I’ve learnt quite a lot about the subject and the one thing that keeps coming up is that the way mental and physical health intertwine and relate still isn’t being fully understood by those ‘in charge’. And I guess when I say those ‘in…

Being body positive

Last month I wrote a post about how I deal with feeling fat, something that as a woman, and an ex-anorexic, I deal with a lot. Today I want to delve a little deeper into this topic, talk about what body positivity means to me and why I feel hopeful about the rise of this movement. This is a definition of the body positive ‘movement’ according to Wikipedia (I know,…

That you’re a bad person because you skipped the gym in favour of an extra hour in bed. It’s this feeling I want…

Staying motivated with sports and business manager Emily Allen

For the ‘hope‘ section of Blue Jay, I was really keen to interview some inspiring people – after all, hearing other people’s stories gives us all a little hope. I thought about who I could interview, and realised (very quickly) that the people who inspire me the most are my friends. I am lucky enough to be surrounded by friends who are not only hugely inspiring but also real, beautiful,…

Creating a balanced exercise routine

There is a lot of information out there about exercise – a little too much in my opinion. I don’t know about you, but I find it pretty hard sifting through the masses of articles online talking about what the ‘right’ exercise routine is. So I stick to the three S’s. Sweat. Strengthen. Stretch. Like most things, when it comes to fitness, I think it should be all about balance.…

My relationship with my body

As the first post in Blue Jay’s ‘Health’ category, I thought I should divulge my own relationship with my body and physical health. To be totally honest, it’s a complicated one. Back in my teenage years I hated my body. I had an eating disorder and still carry the scars from my self-harming days. Suffice to say, it was a bad time all round. I have come a hell of a long…
