Life

There's the thing that happens and then there's the way we respond to it. Sometimes we need to hit the metaphoric pause button. No immediate action. No reaction. No decision. Just feel the emotion, wait for our intellect and reason to kick in, take a breath and move forward from there.

Imagine living in a body that's functionally ‘younger' than its chronological age. A fifty-five year-old doing life in a body that's the physiological equivalent of a typical forty year-old. Ageing is inevitable but the way we age, is optional.

Your energy is not an infinite resource. We humans have an amazing ability to waste copious mounts of energy on sh*t we can't control; essentially allowing our minds to be hijacked by obsession, fear and over-thinking things we can't change or undo.

Who said life needs to be fair? Is 'life' a conscious entity that 'cares' (or doesn't care) about your personal welfare, mental health or bank balance? Nope. Life is mayhem. And joy. Chaos. And calm. Peaks. And troughs. And in the middle of it all, is you; the author of your own story.

Did you know that consistent strength training can significantly improve your cognitive function? Who knew? Well, among a bunch of other great benefits, it can. This is the show where I essentially do a sale's pitch for lifting heavy things. It's still one of the most under-utilised interventions for improving overall health, despite overwhelming evidence. Enjoy.

Some people are sleepwalking their way through life. Stuck in a version of Groundhog Day, treading water in unfulfilling, unrewarding, unejoyable and uninspired lives that they didn't choose or design. Unconsciously handing over the steering wheel of their lives to people, situations, events and forces that don't care about (or are oblivious to) them and their dreams and desires. Saying things like “this wasn't my plan", when in fact they never really had a plan; just an idea of how things would (hopefully) 'turn out'.

In this episode, I talk about creating opportunities (rather than waiting for them), going where you grow and people who can drag you up.
