Being a human is tremendously complex and challenging. There are infinite ways to experience and express ourselves, making any attempt to conceptualize or classify ourselves incomplete at best and plain wrong at worst. But it often does help to simplify something in order to understand it, even if the understanding is only partial. Because it's from this partial understanding that we can craft a plan, take action, and broaden our scope of impact and awareness.

We decided to do just that at BeMore; grossly oversimplify the human experience in order to create direction and start living happier, more balanced, and more productive lives. This oversimplification comes in the form of six different life areas, which together encompass the entirety of human beings. They are the following:

• The mental area;

"So what is this minimalism thing? It’s quite simple: to be a minimalist you must live with less than 100 things, you can’t own a car or a home or a television, you can’t have a career, you must live in exotic hard-to-pronounce places all over the world, you must start a blog, you can’t have children, and you must be a young white male from a privileged background. We're Joking! (...)"

On A Diet by Edward Coles

The country is on a diet,

drinking coke with no sugar,

eating burgers with no bun,

running on the treadmill;

it's powdered protein for lunch.

It's straight tequila in the evening,

a light head and guilty fries at night.

The country is on a diet,

doing yoga over yoghurt pots,

training their minds with sudoku and solitaire,

rubbing salt and condition into their hair.

It's 6 a.m. gym sessions,

it's squats on the living room floor,

the country is on a diet, my friends,

and so we have no time for truth, or war.

The country is on a diet,

avocado in the breadcrumb,

aspirin in the salt-shaker,

food numb on the tongue

and those slim-shakes always failed to deliver.

Thigh gaps and mind-the-gaps,

all these signposts for a cleaner living,

no dust on the shelf,

no bags 'neath your eyes to hide

the lack of sleep

and your ailing mental health.

The country is on a diet,

drinking tea with no milk,

eating carrot sticks with best-value dip,

running on the treadmill,

we never get too far.

It's straight tequila in the evening,

it's "anything goes" in the dark.

What is nutrition and what is a diet?

Everywhere you hear rumours and opinions but what actually does it mean?

Fran takes a deep-dive into the love-hate relationship with food.
