In this episode of Momentum conversations, we will hear from one of our team members Verena Schläffer in her fitness journey.  

A very curious story of how she found her fitness not in her home country Austria but in the UK when she was spending an exchange year in Leeds, North of England.

In this episode of our Resilience Series, we explore Awe and how it can boost your levels of energy and make you stronger.    What is awe? Awe is an emotional experience when individuals encounter powerful stimuli beyond their own understanding. Awe is an emotional response to perceptually vast stimuli that transcend current frames of reference.  

"Maybe it’s because the stars are the antithesis of darkness, of abusive stepfathers and imperilled little sisters. Stars are light. Stars are a possibility. They are the places where science and magic meet, windows to worlds greater than my own.  Stars gave me the hope that I might one day find the right answers." Sara Seager, Astrophysicist -The smallest light in the universe, Memoir.  

In research published in Psychological Science in 2012, Melanie Rudd, Kathleen D. Vohs and Jennifer Aaker found that “experiences of awe bring people into the present moment, and being in the present moment underlies awe’s capacity to adjust time perception, influence decisions, and make life feel more satisfying than it would otherwise.”  

“We shall not cease from exploration, and the end of all our exploring Will be to arrive where we started, and know the place for the first time." T. S. Eliot

 Exercise and fitness make a whole difference when combating depression, anxiety and stress. People who regularly exercise are less likely to get a big spike in cortisol. Too much cortisol for too long can cause brain fog. It lowers memory recall and new learning.  

Movement is key, and we are not talking about killing ourselves in the gym. First of all, no matter which stage of life you find yourself in, you need to get your body moving; you have got to exercise somehow. Today one can find programs online and in local gyms for all ages and any fitness conditioning.  

Please DON´T FORGET to talk to your physician or  GP before starting any exercise activity. Our aim here is not to tell you what to do. We are not specialists. We are people who love life and want to encourage you to pursue a holistic lifestyle that will benefit you and your loved ones.   

‘Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t, you’re right.’  — Henry Ford, industrialist.

In this second episode, we explore how nutrition and our food choices directly influence our resilience. Why you keep letting yourself down on the resilience front is directly linked to what you eat, when you eat and how much.   

We passionately believe that food and nutrition shape all our lives from early beginnings to our final breath. Our decision-making, the results from our pursuits, cannot be disconnected from our eating habits and nutrition.   Healthy nutrition, happy life! While we know that many people worldwide cannot simply switch to healthier nutrition, we can strive within our possibilities to make better-informed life choices and build resilience.  

“Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.” ― Hippocrates.

We are starting a new series on resilience, and this is our first episode. Please like and comment we would love to hear from you.  Our lives have been tremendously affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. Many people have lost dear ones, work, business, income, hope altogether. But one thing is true about all of us: our ability to reborn from the ashes, to bounce back, to #buildbackbetter​.  

The Resilience series is about HOPE! It is about how we can change and grow, how we can be empowered to change our mindsets and make better decisions based not on the circumstances but our inner-selves.
