Changing The Game with Campbell Johnstone

In the world of rugby, where strength, determination, and camaraderie reign supreme, one remarkable individual, Campbell Johnstone, has emerged as a beacon of hope and inspiration for both the sport and the LGBTQ+ community. His story is a testament to resilience, authenticity, and the power of breaking barriers.

Campbell Johnstone's name resonates within New Zealand rugby circles as an All Black and a Canterbury Crusaders rugby star in the early 2000s. His prowess on the field was undeniable, and he left an indelible mark on the sport. But it was in early 2023 that Campbell's name transcended the boundaries of the rugby pitch and became a symbol of courage and progress worldwide. Why? Because Campbell Johnstone made history by becoming the first-ever openly gay All Black.

Campbell's journey is not just about rugby; it's a story of self-discovery, authenticity, and unwavering determination. In an environment where stereotypes and traditional norms often cast a shadow, Campbell's decision to step out as his authentic self was nothing short of revolutionary. He defied conventions and chose to live his truth.

In doing so, Campbell Johnstone became a source of inspiration not only for fellow athletes but for countless individuals facing the daunting challenge of embracing their own identities. He has shown the world that one's sexual orientation should never limit their dreams or ambitions, and that authenticity is a force to be reckoned with.

Campbell's story is a testament to the transformative power of authenticity. It's a reminder that embracing who you are, regardless of societal expectations, can lead to greatness. His journey encourages us to break free from the constraints that may hold us back, to be bold, and to pursue our dreams with unwavering determination.

As an openly gay All Black, Campbell Johnstone has redefined the landscape of rugby, dismantling barriers, and opening doors for future generations. His legacy extends beyond the try lines and scrums; it's a legacy of acceptance, inclusivity, and hope.

In a world that sometimes lacks understanding and compassion, Campbell's story is a shining beacon that reminds us to stand tall, live authentically, and strive for excellence without fear of judgment. He is a role model, a hero, and a symbol of progress, reminding us all that we can be true to ourselves and make history in the process.

Campbell Johnstone's journey is a story of triumph, resilience, and above all, being unapologetically true to oneself. His journey is one of hope for the future, a future where acceptance and authenticity are celebrated.

The Dangers of Social Media: The Perils of Comparing Lives

In the digital age, social media has become an integral part of our lives. It's a platform for connecting with friends, sharing experiences, and staying updated with current events. However, beneath the surface of curated profiles and flawless selfies, there lies a significant and often overlooked danger: the compulsion to compare our lives with others. This phenomenon can have detrimental effects on our mental well-being, self-esteem, and overall happiness. In this article, we will delve into the dangers of social media and the harmful practice of comparing lives.

The Allure of Social Media

Social media platforms offer a seductive virtual realm where users can showcase their lives. With carefully chosen photos and witty captions, it's easy to create an idealized version of oneself. The addictive nature of likes, comments, and shares can lead people to post content that reflects only the highlights of their lives, leaving out the less glamorous, more authentic moments. This selective portrayal of reality often fuels the urge to compare and measure one's worth against others.

The Perils of Comparing Lives

1. Unrealistic Expectations:

Constant exposure to polished images and curated lifestyles can distort our perception of reality. It sets unrealistic standards for happiness, success, and appearance. This can lead to feelings of inadequacy and low self-esteem, as we strive to attain the unattainable.

1. Fear of Missing Out (FOMO):

Social media frequently exposes us to the exciting adventures, accomplishments, and gatherings of others. This can trigger the fear of missing out, intensifying feelings of loneliness and unhappiness. FOMO drives many to engage in activities they might not enjoy or can't afford, all in the name of keeping up.

1. Anxiety and Depression:

A growing body of research links excessive social media use to higher rates of anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues. The constant comparison with others can breed feelings of worthlessness and isolation, eroding our mental well-being.

1. Identity Crisis:

The desire to be perceived positively by our online peers can lead to an identity crisis. We may end up portraying a version of ourselves that isn't genuine, resulting in a loss of self-identity and authenticity.

1. Privacy and Cyberbullying:

The more we share on social media, the more we expose ourselves to privacy breaches and potential cyberbullying. Oversharing and engaging in toxic online discussions can have severe consequences, leading to personal and emotional distress.

Mitigating the Dangers

While the dangers of social media and the inclination to compare lives are real, there are ways to mitigate their impact:

1. Mindful Use: Be conscious of your time spent on social media and the content you consume. Limit your exposure to idealized portrayals and consciously choose to follow accounts that promote authenticity and positivity.

2. Self-Reflection: Regularly reflect on your own goals, values, and achievements. Focus on your personal growth rather than comparing yourself to others.

3. Authenticity: Share your genuine self online. Authenticity not only helps you connect with like-minded individuals but also combats the unrealistic standards set by others.

4. Digital Detox: Take breaks from social media to reset and regain perspective. Engage in offline activities that enrich your life.

Social media has reshaped the way we interact with the world, offering a window into the lives of others like never before. However, the dangers of social media, particularly the toxic habit of comparing lives, cannot be ignored. As we navigate this digital landscape, it is essential to be aware of the potential harm it can cause and take steps to protect our mental health and well-being. In the end, it's important to remember that the polished personas on social media are often far from the full story, and true happiness comes from within, not from comparisons with others.

The Magic Of Imperfections ( Children's Book Series )

Today, I want to share something incredibly close to my heart, a project that my son Lincoln and I have poured our hearts into for the past year.

We are thrilled to bring the Imperfectly Perfect Campaign’s efforts to children around the world, with a children’s book series.

In a world that often expects perfection, we believe it's crucial to start addressing conversations about imperfections early with our children.

My son, ( being 10 ) has watched me from the sidelines for the past few years, addressing how important talking about our struggles are.

Conversation with him led to ‘The Magic Of Imperfections’ series which was the brainchild of Lincoln in hopes to create a future where children don't have to grow up in a world full of stigma.

This project teaches us all that every child is unique, and their differences should be celebrated, not hidden. It's about teaching them that they are enough just the way they are, that their quirks and qualities make them beautifully unique and any feelings they have are entirely valid to speak about openly.

As parents, we have a responsibility to foster an environment of acceptance, kindness, and empathy. We want our children to understand that imperfections are what make us human, and that there's strength in vulnerability. It's through these conversations that we can build a more compassionate world for our kids to thrive in.

I couldn't be prouder of Lincoln for him watching dad, and wanting to make a mark in this world himself !

With Los Angeles coming up, the series will be making an appearance alongside Volume 1 of our official book series so make sure to join our mailing list to keep updated on all the latest news

Make sure to be notified by registering at the link below so that you can grab your very own copy of 'Lincoln's book for your children as soon as we go live!

Professional Footballer Aaron Evans gets behind our Global Efforts

‘As a professional athlete, I recognize and embrace the fact that I am also a regular person with genuine emotions and occasional struggles. It is important to acknowledge that feeling down or experiencing off days is a normal part of life. However, what truly matters is the affirming mindset and self-talk that one maintains, as it empowers them to overcome any challenge with the support of the right individuals and a positive mentality’. - @aaronevans

We’re kicking season 18 of the ImperfectlyPerfect Podcast next week with none other than the incredible Aaron Evans! He’s not just a professional athlete; he’s a force of nature on the field and a true inspiration off it. Get ready to dive deep into Aaron’s world, hear his inspiring journey, and be inspired by his wisdom.

Wisdom that comes from a journey well travelled, the ups, the downs, the sacrifices and struggles that come with a profession like his that not many people get to hear or see.

We see the highlights and accolades throughout media of professional athletes, but we often don’t get to see or hear what it truly takes, see or hear the person behind the profession, or see and hear about the internal roller coaster of emotions it brings with it to so many young men that are often told to ‘man up’ if they are struggling..

Make sure to have subscribed to the show to be the first to know when Aaron’s episode goes to air.

Join our Global Volunteer Teams

You know, it's amazing how we often see people coming together to help those who are struggling, especially when it's the public, the community, that steps in to make a difference.

I was just reflecting on this recently in a conversation I had.

The Imperfectly Perfect Campaign movement has always been about people helping people, paying it forward, sharing our stories to help others.

I started wondering, what more can we do to give back and make a positive impact?

It's funny how the universe ( I say God ) seems to respond when you ask that question. As I was walking to the shops, I turned a corner and saw a man sitting on the ground with his dog, with little belongings, holding a sign that said "hungry and homeless."

It was not only a stark reminder of the challenges some people face daily but clearly I know when something is put in front of me.

So as the public, as a community, as a collective we have the power to make a difference.

What if the imperfectly perfect campaign could mobilize our global community, with dedicated team leaders creating an "Imperfectly Perfect Task Force" of volunteers?

Reach out to the public, those who are able and willing to donate spare towels, bedding, clothes, toiletries, food, or anything that might provide some comfort to those who find themselves on the streets.

Imagine the impact we could have if we all came together, each contributing what we can, to support those in need.

If you share our passion for helping others, we invite you to be a part of our volunteering team in your own country.

To join this movement and be a force for positive change, please reach out to our team today at generalenquiries@imperfectlyperfectcampaign.org in showing your interest.

In the next fortnight, we will be holding an online meeting regarding this mission.

Your compassion, your willingness to give, and your desire to make a difference can create a ripple effect of kindness that can change lives, so join us.

The Significance of Finding a Community that Truly Sees and Hears You

Human beings are inherently social creatures, driven by the need for connection, understanding, and a sense of belonging. In a world that is becoming increasingly interconnected yet paradoxically isolating, the importance of finding a community that truly sees and hears you cannot be overstated. This notion goes beyond mere interaction; it delves into the depths of one's emotional and psychological well-being, shaping the way individuals perceive themselves and their place in society.

A community that truly sees and hears you acknowledges your existence, experiences, and emotions in a genuine and validating manner. In an era where superficial interactions often dominate, having a space where you are recognized for your authentic self is a breath of fresh air. This recognition cultivates a sense of self-worth, fostering a positive self-image that transcends societal judgments and expectations. When you are seen and heard for who you are, it becomes easier to embrace your strengths and accept your vulnerabilities, leading to increased self-confidence and resilience.

In a world filled with noise and distractions, being heard is a rarity. The act of listening, however, is an art that holds immense power. When you find a community that truly listens, you experience validation and empathy. Your thoughts and feelings matter, and this validation can help reduce feelings of loneliness and isolation. The process of sharing your joys, sorrows, and aspirations with a receptive audience creates a profound sense of connection that contributes to emotional well-being.

Furthermore, a community that truly sees and hears you acts as a mirror that reflects your uniqueness. It validates your individuality, which is essential in a society that often pressures individuals to conform. When you are surrounded by people who appreciate your distinct qualities, you are more likely to embrace your authentic self, rather than suppressing your true nature to fit into predefined molds. This self-acceptance leads to greater happiness and life satisfaction.

Beyond personal growth, finding a community that genuinely sees and hears you has broader societal implications. Such communities are the cornerstone of inclusivity, tolerance, and diversity. When individuals are valued for who they are, irrespective of their background, beliefs, or identities, it sets a precedent for a more compassionate and understanding society. This ripple effect can contribute to reducing prejudice, discrimination, and social fragmentation, ultimately fostering an environment where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

However, the journey to finding such a community is not always straightforward. It requires openness, vulnerability, and perseverance. It demands the courage to step outside one's comfort zone and seek out spaces where authenticity is celebrated. It also entails active participation and engagement within the chosen community, as relationships are built on reciprocity.

In conclusion, the importance of finding a community that truly sees and hears you extends far beyond casual interactions. It is a fundamental human need that impacts personal well-being, self-esteem, and overall life satisfaction. Such communities provide validation, empathy, and a sense of belonging that contribute to emotional resilience and self-acceptance. Moreover, they play a pivotal role in fostering inclusivity and understanding on a societal level. As we navigate a rapidly evolving world, the search for genuine connections remains a timeless endeavor, reminding us that being truly seen and heard is an essential aspect of the human experience.

Life is what you make of it and I am proof of it.

‘I’m J.R. Martinez, and my life is different than most. Would you believe me if I told you a burn survivor Army veteran could win Dancing with the Stars, become a New York Times best-selling author, star in the television series All My Children and become a keynote speaker at events all over the world.

JR Martinez is a force to be reckoned with. A Truly beautiful soul, husband and father.

The Paramount Importance of Seeking Help for Mental Health Struggles

Mental health is a fundamental aspect of our overall well-being, yet it often goes unnoticed or disregarded. Many individuals find themselves caught in cycles of negativity, dwelling on past experiences, and struggling with the weight of their own minds. It is imperative to recognize the significance of seeking help when faced with mental health challenges. This essay explores the reasons why seeking assistance is paramount, emphasizing the need to break free from detrimental patterns, acknowledging that therapy is a process, and understanding the interconnectedness of mental and physical well-being.

Breaking Free from Cycles of Negativity:

When individuals are trapped in cycles of negativity, it becomes difficult to envision a way out. Negative thoughts and emotions can consume one's mental landscape, making it hard to focus on the present or look towards the future with hope. Seeking help, such as therapy or counseling, provides a safe space to explore and challenge these negative patterns. A trained mental health professional can guide individuals towards understanding the root causes of their negativity and teach them effective coping strategies. By seeking help, individuals can break free from the grip of negativity and begin cultivating a more positive mindset.

Moving Forward from Living in the Past:

Living in the past can be a heavy burden to carry. Painful memories, unresolved trauma, or regrets can haunt our thoughts and hinder our progress. Seeking help allows individuals to confront and process these past experiences in a supportive environment. Therapists can provide valuable tools and techniques to help individuals let go of the past, heal emotional wounds, and foster resilience. It is through this healing process that individuals can embrace the present moment and look forward to the future with renewed optimism.

Patience in the Therapeutic Process:

Seeking help does not guarantee an immediate fix. Just as a broken bone takes time to heal, our minds also require patience and consistent effort. It is important to remember that therapy is a journey rather than a quick solution. Sometimes, individuals may feel discouraged if their progress seems slow or if their therapist's approach does not align with their expectations. However, it is crucial not to give up hope. Trusting the therapeutic process and building a strong therapeutic relationship can yield long-lasting results. Therapy provides a platform for self-discovery, growth, and developing healthy coping mechanisms that will positively impact one's mental health over time.

Understanding the Connection Between Mental and Physical Well-being:

Mental health issues can manifest in physical symptoms or ailments. Chronic pain, unexplained physical sensations, and even injuries that seem resistant to conventional treatment may have underlying psychological causes. Seeking help for mental health struggles enables individuals to address the root causes of physical manifestations and achieve holistic healing. By addressing the psychological aspects, individuals can experience relief from physical symptoms and improve their overall well-being.

In a world that often prioritizes physical health over mental health, it is crucial to recognize the paramount importance of seeking help for mental health struggles. Breaking free from cycles of negativity and living in the past is essential for personal growth and a positive mindset. Patience and trust in the therapeutic process are key in achieving lasting change. Furthermore, acknowledging the interconnectedness of mental and physical well-being is vital for holistic healing. By seeking help and addressing the root causes of psychological issues, individuals can embark on a journey of self-discovery, resilience, and ultimately, a healthier and happier life.

In the Shadows of Struggle: The Desperate Cry for Support in Mental Health Battles

Mental health struggles haunt countless individuals, often masked by smiles and laughter, invisible to the untrained eye. Yet, these internal wars leave indelible scars, and those who wage them yearn for understanding and support. This essay aims to shed light on the profound impact of mental health struggles, exploring the challenges faced by individuals who reach out to friends eager to help but uncertain of how to do so. Furthermore, it provides resources and suggestions to empower individuals to be a beacon of hope for those in need.

The Burden of Struggling Alone: In the throes of mental health battles, individuals often find themselves ensnared in a web of isolation, overwhelmed by their own thoughts and emotions. The invisible nature of mental health struggles exacerbates the burden, leaving individuals feeling voiceless, misunderstood, and trapped within their own minds. However, reaching out to friends in search of solace and understanding can be a courageous act of vulnerability.

The Friend's Dilemma: When a friend confides in us about their mental health struggles, we may be overwhelmed by the weight of responsibility. We genuinely want to help, but the path forward can seem shrouded in uncertainty. Fearful of saying the wrong thing or exacerbating the situation, we may find ourselves at a loss for words or actions.

Resources for Supporting a Friend:

1. Educate Yourself: Knowledge is the foundation upon which empathy is built. Take the initiative to learn about various mental health conditions, their symptoms, and potential treatment options. Resources like books, documentaries, and online articles can provide valuable insights.

2. Be a Good Listener: Often, the simple act of listening without judgment can provide immense comfort to someone struggling with their mental health. Create a safe and non-judgmental space where they can express their feelings openly. Avoid offering unsolicited advice and instead focus on validating their experiences.

3. Encourage Professional Help: While friends can provide invaluable support, it is important to remember that mental health conditions often require professional intervention. Encourage your friend to seek therapy or counseling. Offer to help them research and find suitable mental health professionals in their area.

4. Check-In Regularly: Consistent communication is key. Set reminders to reach out to your friend regularly, ensuring they know they are not alone. A simple text message or phone call can make a significant difference in their day.

5. Offer Practical Support: Mental health struggles can leave individuals feeling depleted and overwhelmed. Offer practical assistance by helping with daily tasks, such as grocery shopping, cooking meals, or running errands. Small gestures of kindness can alleviate the weight of daily responsibilities.

6. Respect Boundaries: While your intentions are noble, it's crucial to respect your friend's boundaries. Understand that they may not always want to talk about their struggles or engage in social activities. Allow them the space they need, while consistently reminding them of your unwavering support.

Navigating the landscape of mental health struggles and supporting friends in need is a delicate dance between compassion and understanding. It is imperative to acknowledge the courage it takes for someone to reach out, recognizing their trust in our ability to be there for them. By educating ourselves, listening with empathy, encouraging professional help, and providing practical support, we can create a lifeline for those struggling in the depths of their mental health battles. Let us cast away the shadows of ignorance and become beacons of hope, of compassion and support for all those in need.

Remember, by standing beside our friends in their darkest hours, we not only alleviate their pain but also sow the seeds of resilience, love, and healing.

Unveiling the Hidden Realities of Being in the Public Eye: Beyond the Glare of Success by Glenn Marsden

In the age of social media and pervasive celebrity culture, it's easy to become enamored with the glamorous lives of public figures. We often perceive success as an achievement that promises wealth, adoration, and an effortless life. However, behind the shiny online world, lies a world filled with challenges and sacrifices that many fail to acknowledge. I am truly grateful to have gained so much support with some of the biggest names across all sectors in the public eye sharing their truths, their stories because so many people who see a mere snippet of somebody’s life who is in the public eye goes through.

There is so much judgement in this world based on perception & yet it’s simply not reality. A profession that places somebody in the public eye i’ve learnt from everybody lies stories entails dealing with intense scrutiny, judgment, financial instability, and the ever-present specter of cancel culture.

Media plays a big part in perception so to try to change the narrative esp. towards why people judge those with a ‘public person’ from an external point of view. I wanted to shed the lesser-known aspects of being in the public eye that I have witnessed through people behind the imperfectly perfect campaign & shed light on the realities that often remain hidden from the public's gaze.

When people step into the public eye, nobody in my mind would want to subject themselves to an unforgiving level of scrutiny. Every action, word, and decision is dissected and analyzed by a vast audience, amplifying the pressure to constantly present oneself in a flawless manner. The tiniest misstep can lead to a barrage of criticism and public shaming, with repercussions that extend far beyond personal boundaries.

Guess what, imagine the psychological toll of living under a constant microscope yourself…

It would be overwhelming, resulting in anxiety, depression, and a loss of privacy.

Contrary to popular belief, the path to success in the public eye is often paved with financial challenges. Public figures often depend on projects and endorsements for their livelihood, and when they don't work, they don't get paid.

Again, this constant financial uncertainty can lead to anxiety.

Behind the Scenes: The Mask of Online Success

Social media provides a curated glimpse into the lives of public figures, painting a picture of unmitigated success and happiness. However, this portrayal often masks the personal battles and challenges that public figures face off-camera. The pressures of maintaining a public persona, dealing with personal problems, and managing mental health issues are aspects that are rarely showcased. The high standards set by society and the constant demand for perfection can take a toll on the well-being of those in the public eye. It is crucial to remember that the online narrative only reveals a fraction of the reality.

One of the most concerning aspects of being in the public eye I've encountered through people who have encountered it on the imperfectly perfect campaign is the culture of canceling, where public figures are held accountable for their actions and opinions. While it is important to address harmful behavior and promote accountability, the consequences of cancel culture can be severe and far-reaching esp if false. Public figures who become embroiled in controversy often face a loss of career opportunities, social isolation, and a tarnished reputation. Even individuals who have made efforts to grow, learn, and make amends can find themselves permanently marked by past mistakes.

So my conclusion of what so many see and make judgement on - the reality is often far more complex and challenging than meets the eye. The constant scrutiny, financial instability, hidden struggles, and the pervasive threat of cancel culture create an environment where success comes at a significant cost. As spectators, it is important to recognize the humanity behind the personas projected online and acknowledge that success does not equate to an idyllic existence & honestly look at ourselves and ask 'could we go through all of this?' and realise what it actually takes people.
