About three years ago, a trainer friend of mine passed away from a heart attack. He was over-weight, lived off fried food and did not do any exercise. He was multi-lingual, a warm friendly funny man in his 40s. I miss his sense of humour and diverse talents. Recently another trainer friend of mine suffered from Bells Palsy which causes a partial paralysis of the facial muscles. He is in good shape, doesn’t drink or smoke and works out and plays basketball. He is also multi-lingual, a warm friendly funny man in his 30s. He has been on a punishing travel schedule traveling two or three cities a week, training up to 20 days a month. I look forward to enjoying his diverse sense of humour and talents for many years to come.
We are all striving for greater success in our lives, but at what cost? We push through the tiredness, stress and heavy workload to make the next target. What are you doing to pause your life? You need to add a few days a month (or at least a quarter) to fully relax. I am spending two days this week in a bamboo mountain forest retreat attending a yoga and emotional freedom workshop. I have never done yoga and am not really that sure what emotional freedom really means, but I do know one thing. I am totally going to forget about checking emails and traffic jams and the small frustrations that can get in the way of our lives.
I expect to come back full of fresh air, much more relaxed and enriched by learning some new techniques. I will come back healthier and fitter from the fresh air and morning walks in the forest. Really looking forward to it. I plan a monthly away day with my wife and it allows us to get grounded before we move onto another month. Take the kettle off before it boils. And that reminds me, it’s time for some peppermint tea. Have a relaxed and refreshing day.
