JULY 23, 2007
Today is the first day away from the guest lodge, and it feels weird but wonderful to be getting back to my life. I have set a couple of goals for myself, and today is the beginning of a new chapter in my life. We have a tough schedule ahead of ourselves, and I think it’s time that I get back to basics, like finding balance from within, synchronizing mind, body and soul.
Maria got me interested in something new, called capoiera. This is a game/dance/combat of sorts and the game is marked by fluid acrobatic play, feints, subterfuge, and extensive use of groundwork, as well as sweeps, kicks, and headbutts. Less frequently, elbow-strikes, slaps, punches, and body-throws are used. Technique and strategy are the key elements to playing a good game. I especially enjoy the movement and dance, the music, and the flow of the game. I have a long way to go as far as flexibility and stretching goes, but I’m definitely going to give it a go. My main aim would be to attain balance from within, and I figure this is a good way to start.
I’m the one who hates exercise especially if it’s difficult, but we got up this morning and had our first 1hour workout, and it wasn’t at all that bad, and although I am terribly unfit, I could do most of it, just barely, but thumbs up, there is hope yet.
Today’s Training: 1hr aerobic/dance/stretch
1hr flexibility & agility
1hr stretching
I haven’t blogged for almost a month, and there is no excuse, but living at the Waterglen was pretty eventful, and busy, so I’ve become lazy in keeping my diary, but it’s good to be back!
We are meeting with Mike Said from Brandstrategy tomorrow, and we’re pretty excited to get this ball rolling too. I am also very keen to get back on the road, and become a part of what’s up in the world.
