The words of no bu****it by my yoga teacher

The harder you are on anything, the faster you will destroy it." If I want my body to last as long as possible, feeling as good as possible, it’s not rational to push my body hard or aggressively. What’s rational is to treat it gently, just as I would treat anything in my life I wish to preserve.

Maybe that’s why it’s said the healthiest exercise is walking, as it is also the most gentle. My teacher also says that there is not a relationship in my life that wouldn’t benefit from gentleness, as opposed to force and aggression, which includes the relationship between me and my sacred partner (my body). Gentle doesn’t mean avoidance, yet obviously it doesn’t mean force and aggression, so you could say it’s more aligned with moderation (if we practiced moderation in all things,

Yet, it’s not easy to be gentle. Being gentle means I will not be able to force my body to look in a manner it was never meant to look, in order to appease some program or image that’s been jammed down my throat by a society that’s more interested in me buying its products than actually being well. Being gentle means I wont be bigger, stronger, faster, etc…. In other words, being gentle is completely egotistically unappealing. I would have to be dominated by my wisdom instead of ego and vanity and machismo.

Oh s**t! This means I’d have to disempower my ego and confront my fears! This means I’d have to start loving and accepting myself as I am! This means I may not be attractive to the people in my tribe, circle, society! Yes, Yes, Yes! Yet, if my goal is wellness, than I have no choice.

That colour! Renewing the cells to brighten your skin up, it’s the cheapest facial you will ever get 😂 wishing everyone a very merry Christmas 🎄

Swimming is way more fun together 🥶

I feels cold now. Inside and outside. But lucky mulled wine makes you warm from the inside out 🍷

The first thing that happens when entering the cold water is the nervous system responding with a fight or flight response. Feelings of panic, fear, anxiety. Breathing becomes non existing, and in response to that the heart rate goes up.
This is very similar how we react in other stressful situations, e.g. an argument, something doesn’t go our way, someone not doing something you wanted them to do.
These are small examples of how we react to small things and nervous system spikes into fight or flight, often multiple times a day.

Now if our nervous system was a muscle, we need to train it, just like any other muscle I our bodies.

This will make us more resilient to life stress factors.

So walking in to the cold, we train our nervous system and mind to keep a calm when ever stress arises. Breathing deeper when the cold bits as this keeps the heart rate down. Training the nervous system to stay in a restful state rather than spiking every time.

Let me know how you get on 🥶
