It can be as simple as a brisk walk.
Just something that elevates your heart rate a little bit and puts you in your body is so, so impactful for your whole being.
So I was at this beautiful redwood park one day and it was super windy.
And you look up and the overstory of the trees is blowing in the wind.
But you look down and they're held to the ground and they're solid.
And these trees are 100, 200, even the old growth redwoods, 300 feet tall.
And what's holding them to the ground are roots.
And you don't see those roots anymore.
But if those roots aren't nourished and watered, then the tree is going to fall over in rough weather.
And the principles of groundedness are really like those roots.
These aren't things that you necessarily see when you look at someone.
But if you internally take care of patience, acceptance, presence, vulnerability, community, movement, it helps you stand strong throughout all that weather.
The second thing that's so beautiful about redwood trees is their roots only run six to 12 feet deep.
So the tree, 300 feet high, the root structure, quite shallow.
And I'm like, I literally, like asking the park ranger, I'm like, well, wait a minute, how do the trees hold to the ground?
And she said, it's because the roots intertwine with the roots of all the other trees in the park.
So they're a system of roots that are all holding each other up throughout all kinds of weather.
And man, if that's not beautiful and that's not what we ought to strive for is like taking care of our own root system, but also doing it with others so that we can help hold each other up, then I don't know what's the point of any of it.
So that really became the overarching metaphor for the book and for how I try to live my life.
I think define profiting.
