Reintegrate

at soccer practice and at friends. The time that’s left you try to keep up with your own friends, be a good husband/wife, take care of the household shores and administration, watch some TV and then the hour before bed you open your laptop to “just check the emails”, at night dreaming about a different life. And then it’s Monday again…

“Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans.” – John Lennon-

It’s like a giant jig-saw puzzle. Imagine all the pieces of your life-puzzle spread out on the floor in a mess, some adjacent pieces are lying next to each other so you get a feeling for the motif, other pieces are up-side down. You are jumping from piece to piece, looking out over the mess trying to figure out where the piece you stand on fits in to the big picture. The jig-saw is so huge you can’t see the end of it and the picture so complex that you can’t possibly visualize it in your head. reintegrate - def: 1. to integrate again into an entity, restore to unity; 2. to make or be made into a whole again

Reintegrate.net is about restoring life to unity, making your life whole again, putting the key pieces of the puzzle together and making that a solid base from which you have an overview of the rest of the pieces and from which you can safely venture out to explore new pieces of the puzzle. I believe it’s about getting the fundamentals right: strong health, a calm, reflective mind and respectful interaction with the rest of the world. And to make the journey towards reintegration tangible I base it on three pillars of action – to eat clean, to move freely, and to live consciously.

1. Eat clean
It starts with respecting your body. Abuse it with bad food and drugs and it will not give you much back, it will still fight for it’s own survival but not as fiercely and not as long. Treat it with respect by providing it with the right fuel and it will take you further than you can ever imagine. I believe in a paleolithic diet.

2. Move freely
Humans are designed to move. Office life and the TV-couch are killing us. Walk, run, climb, swim, play, embrace the possibilities of moving freely that you are given and actively work on maintaining mobility and strength to live a long injury free life. I believe in highly varied exercise, natural movement patterns with focus on bodyweight exercises and mobility.

3. Live consciously
Pay attention to Now and be conscious of the world around you. Greet people with an open mind, free from past experience and future expectations, every time. Be humble, listen attentively and speak honestly. You may not be able to influence which challenges life throws your way but you can chose how you respond to them. Stay true to yourself, all answers are inside you. I believe in the following quote from Buddha and that opens up amazing possibilities for how to embrace life.

“We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts we make the world.” -Buddha-
