Don't have to be an Olympian to move your body, thankfully.
This was an interesting back and forth with my publisher, because the first five principles are like these broad, ambiguous, but also really aspirational, we get to create our own definition principles.
And then it's like, you're telling people to exercise?
But the reason that I felt really strongly about this is that back to that three-legged stool, movement comes up in all the recent academic inquiry on mental health and groundedness.
When you actually talk to people that are grounded,
whether they have always been that way or whether they've experienced heroic individualism and worked their way out of it or depression or anxiety, what have you, some sort of physical activity is generally a part of their process.
And then I got looking to the ancient wisdom traditions and particularly in the West, so stoicism in the Greeks, they didn't separate mind and body.
School was the gymnasium and intellect.
And it always fascinates me because you look back thousands of years and then today there's all this research that shows that when we're regularly in movement practice, we're more creative.
We have better emotional control.
We remember more.
There's studies of kids that show that when they vigorously exercise, they score better on tests.
So I think that we separate the mind and body at our own peril.
And it's actually in the book I write, it's not mind or body.
It's not mind and body.
It's a mind-body system.
So if we want to take care of our mind, our psychology, we have to take care of our body, our physiology.
And movement does not need to be CrossFit.
It doesn't need to be powerlifting.
It doesn't need to be triathlon.
