It’s been two weeks of living the Movember way, beard-free and tached up. Since losing my usual look and maintaining a mo I’ve got into plenty of conversations about male health issues and issues that affect men in general actually, thanks in part to the presence of the Mo.
Going into my third week I’ve definitely been paying more attention to my own body, my health – physically and mentally. There’s a tendency when high profile campaigns come around, to forget the less headline grabbing issues, such as emotional well-being. Of course tackling cancers, along with encouraging people to check themselves and be proactive when they have concerns are crucial practices we should all be engaging in. It’s just good to remind myself not lose sight of the other stuff.
