Henderson gave a revealing interview to Glamour. She opened up about a paparazzi picture of her that was a little unflattering. Henderson revealed that she has learned to take the positives from this situation. “I actually want to say thank you to the person who took the photograph of me,” she says. “Whoever was zooming in on my ass when I was bending over putting on some sun cream it was invasive to say the least. It affected my mental health and my relationship with my body. But the experience actually became a new inspiration for my song writing. Instead of playing victim to anything I learnt to embrace it and feel empowered by it. I want to send a message that, ‘yeah you know what this ... happens but is it the end of the world? My health is okay, I’m okay, I still got my mates around me, I still got my family! I’m settled’.”
2. She Loves Herself

Henderson is all about self-love. “You need to learn to love yourself, or you'll never step out of your front door and live life to the full,” she says to Glamour. “I have really realised how powerful the mind is, and how as human beings we always put things in boxes or put labels on things. So, as soon as you set your mind free of that you can just live in the present and stop worrying about the past and the future.”
3. She Has A Routine

Henderson also opened up about her wellness to Glamour. She says that she has put together a routine for herself. “I’ve got to a place where I live quite a balanced and healthy living regime,” Henderson says. “A routine has really helped with me. Having a routine outside of your job or career always helps.”
4. She Works With A Trainer

Henderson tells Glamour that part of her wellness routine is working with a personal trainer. “I went back to a personal trainer I have known since I was 16 years old – who I knew I could really trust. I started boxing with him and that released a lot of adrenaline out of me and meditation helped to.”
5. She Doesn’t Put Too Much Pressure On Herself
Henderson tells Headliner Magazine that she doesn’t want to put too much pressure on herself. "Sometimes we just put too much pressure on ourselves. I think it's important to surrender to the fact that it's okay to not be okay; we're not these gladiators or these warriors walking through life. Sometimes we do need a helping hand.”
