25.01.2022 Your eyes, your focus, your attention should be on where you are going not where you currently are.

25.01.2022 Are you persistent in the pursuit of your goals? Persistence is the mindset that will carry you through the most challenging times. Without persistence, we let complacency and apathy be the dominant factor and thus allow mediocrity to rule our lives. ... So how do you rise with persistence in the face of challenges?

24.01.2022 || STRESS || Everyone experiences it, but how good are you at dealing with it and getting rid of it? And don’t think that getting good sleep is the answer. While it’s definitely necessary to replenish our energy, sleep (and other relaxation techniques) merely press pause on our problems, but they don’t necessarily get to the root cause. ... Thankfully, suffering is optional! You may find it useful to perform a brain dump where you write out all your problems / worries / to-do lists. Resist the urge to get too analytical when you start out doing this or it may backfire and make you feel worse! Instead, let your writing flow freely. If it turns into a page of messy scribbles, then let it be. The key here is to get all your jumbled thoughts down on paper, so you have them visible in front on you. This allows you to better organise your thoughts and rethink your priorities. You might even find that some of your stressors aren’t worth that much thought you were just too emotionally invested in them! At the end of the day, the compounding effects of unprocessed stress are very, very real, and it’s up to us to take responsibilities for out mental health. Of course, this is just one technique that we’ve found helpful. But we’d love to hear from you if have any other suggestions for dealing with stress! Comment below and let us know!

20.01.2022 DANCE! If you want a complete movement practice and awareness of your body, no matter what your age, skill or goal... A dance practice will give you a deep appreciation for the athleticisim, dedication, precision, rhythm and patience that is required.

19.01.2022 Are you playing enough? Now that’s a question you don’t hear often. As adults, with adult responsibilites and an adult routine, we slowly start to lose the essence of playful curiosity and movement without judgement... ... ...our training becomes driven by specific outcomes, which is important yes, but when was the last time you trained or introduced a movement practice that was purely based on having fun and having no specific outcome? Play is an important aspect of learning and we see this best with children... Removing the rigidity and restrictions of how, what and why things should and shouldn't look and simply exploring things as they are or as they come to us can open up a world of possiblity and can actually unshackle us from the burden of expectation. Whether its a games night, spontaneous movement and dance, improv acting, painting, craft or somersaults...you are only limited by your imagination. Some of the benefits of play: Improved cognitive functioning Stress management Creative thinking Childlike curioisity and exuberance And more laughter Experiment to find what works for you. How do you use play in your life? What have you noticed has changed? See more

15.01.2022 Self sabotage is nothing more than a disconnection from one’s values. Of course you can easily go down the rabbit hole of over analysing why you choose to do something that’s in conflict with your goals... Ultimately though, every choice you make to "self sabotage" is actually a choice to not fully understand and live by your valuesif indeed the thing you are self-sabotaging is a value at all.

07.01.2022 Ever wondered why humans have evolved to walk upright? It’s because this freed our hands for carrying and manipulating tools; and allows for more energy-efficient strides.
