LIFE

It's been over two months since I have posted anything here. A lot has happened and needless to say I am not going to bore you with my health issues.
I read Sifu Masterson's blog this week and am inspired to add to it. She talks about her fitness routine and how it keeps her focused. She has definitely got the right idea. The advice I have been getting repeatedly from all the different medical specialist is "KEEP FIT". Even if your body betrays you in some unforeseen way the better condition you are in the better chance you have of surviving that said event. It takes sixty minutes at least three times a week to keep an adult in decent shape. The more vigorous the exercise the less time you need to do. For example is you are running you would need to do thirty minutes a workout instead of sixty.
The other thing that has also has been key in my recovery has been my mental health. So when Sifu Brinker talks about our attitude, empathy and compassion he couldn't be more right. Keeping a sunny disposition and making yourself see the "CUP HALF FULL" is not easy to do when faced with adversary Do yourself a favor and look after the simple things in your life, keep your friends and family close and live in the present moment

Hi Sifu Shipalesky,

Good to see you are back journalling. I missed reading your blog. I am also glad you are on the road to recovery.

Such a worthy attitude, yet when life throws obstacles, we have to be reminded of it. I'm with you on this one.
