_ Connect to who you are at the most primal level and you will become more relaxed. I don’t care what you say, you were not built to slouch on a big , cozy chair or sofa. You were not built to watch hour upon hour of TV, or hunch over a computer as I am doing right this second. You were not built to be waited on and catered to, and coddled every waking second of your life.
We as most people in the world (especially here in good ol’ America), have become reliant on “other people” to take care of everything. Even those of you who have made a life for yourself independently and passionately; those of you who have become “successful” through hard work, 20 –hour days, being tough and pushing through. How’s your health? How’s your sleep? How do you react when you are cut off in the car, or when someone acts like an idiot near you? Do you view your surrounding human counterparts as stupid and annoying, or as beautiful and intriguing? Is your life filled with negativity or happiness?
Find out what truly makes you, as a human being, tick. I would argue it is ripping off all your clothes and running through a completely abandoned forest, or beach, or mountain, or field. All jokes aside on that view, I really think disconnecting from everything we have created to mean human will make us so much more actually human. We were not born with clothes. We were not born with the understanding of technology. We were born wild, curious and deeply connected to nature.
Get outside and chill out.
Did you find an excuse not to just now? Did you create a handful of reasons why I am wrong and decide you’d just keep doing the same thing day in and day out? Or, will you take me up, shut your computer or phone down and go give it a damn try already?!
In the end it’s up to you. Hope to see you in the wild!
Never Stop, GET FIT.
